That was weak, Anderson. Gotta hold the post.

Officiating is horrible. Holding on Slavin was a bad call and the 5+2 on Svech was bad as well. Meanwhile, too many on the ice for Seattle missed twice in less than 5 minutes.

Brendan Smith! That pass from TDA... WOW! And Staal with the net front.

Very disjointed offense. No pace, no plan. Looks like a street game.

Lineups: Most noticeable- Svech on the 3rd line with Staal and Fast. RBA wants him to get some better looks at the net. There are a handful of players on the Kraken roster that have given the Canes trouble over the past few seasons: Eberle, Gourde, Jarnkrok and Donskoi come to mind. Keep guys out of the box like they did Monday and they'll be okay. But you gotta shoot the puck- 23 shots is not going to get it done unless Andersen pitches a shutout.

Old teammates Hayden Fleury and Morgan Geekie will be in Kraken green tonite.

Another late night watching the Canes. But it doesn't look like we're the only ones with sleep deprivation. Carolina's offense was anemic in a Monday night OTL. One of my favorite Seattle bands and let's hope Carolina can keep men out of the box tonight: First Time Here: The Canes will become the tenth NHL club to come to Climate Pledge Arena this season, which hosted its first hockey game one month ago yesterday. The Kraken have four of their five wins this season on home ice, so there is certainly an element of home cooking. Looking For More: Carolina will hope to generate more offense this evening, scoring just one goal in Monday's defeat to San Jose. Despite that, Rod Brind'Amour thought his team's effort was much better than Saturday's win in Los Angeles, where they scored five. When citing one area he hopes to see improvement, the power play was the first thing mentioned by the head coach. The team's man advantage unit currently ranks 8th in the NHL, operating at a clip of 22.4%. Offensive Potential: Although the standings show the Kraken at the bottom of the Pacific Division standings, they rank in the middle of the league with their 52 goals scored. Carolina sits at number ten with just five more. Keep that in mind as we watch tonight's game though, because while Seattle has not had a difficult time scoring, they do struggle with giving up goals. Their 68 allowed this season through 18 games ranks third last in all of the NHL. No projected lineups yet, still a couple hours away from deadline.

Yeah, I didn't even mention the faceoff circle. Terrible on the draws, and this wasn't a game that saw a lot of icing calls, so it's not like we didn't have the preferred guy taking the draw. But, imagine this- the Canes are 14-2-1 and we're bitching about their performance. Any other team makes this road trip and they'd feel lucky to get 6 of the 12 points available.

What I saw: 23 shots is not going to get it done. And the only goal was from a defenseman. 11 of the 23 shots came from the blue liners. Meanwhile, these guys each had 1 shot on goal: Aho, Troc, Staal, Nino, Jarvis, Necas. No net front presence. Nino, Tro, Staal- you can usually count on those guys to be in front, but not last night. KK and Jarvis are both playing better than Svech right now. Did Turbo make this road trip, because he's been MIA for a couple games now. But look, a west coast swing with a possible 8 points on the line thus far and the Canes have 7. I was thinking 8 points would be a good trip, but between Seattle and Philly, I can see 9.

Pretty sure 3 of the 4 Kings goals came off rebounds. The 4th on the breakaway. But, as long as there are 2 points at the end of the day...

Big difference between Raanta & Anderson- not as may rebounds with Raanta.

Canes first PP is ugly.

Didn't say it was on Cam, did I. Terrible O-line, outcoached and couldn't stop anything on D.

Hey guys. Decided today after the Panther game, where I posted 3 times (bad O-line, outcoached and Cam making a bad decision to run on the last play) and it was immediately more toxic than the Tinderbox. Anyway, I'm not going to waste my time with that forum any more.

I said he made a bad decision on one play, wtf.

Fug off.

Again, you're wrong. Yep, your mother never forgot, either.

You're so wrong. He made a bad decision fugwad. Was a Cam fan for years going back to Auburn. So, when you're done crying, c'mon over and smell my nuts, would ya?

QB Rule #1: don't take a sack on 4th down.

Just stop. 4 wides and he looked at 2. Everyone in the bldg knew Cam was going to run, even Rivera.

Rhule getting outcoached by the most predictable coach in the league.

You know you're O-line sucks when Cam Newton can't get 1 yard on a sneak.

Svech... wtf. Bad day on the ice.

Anderson needs to wake up. 2 cheap goals over his glove side. As Tripp says, you have to keep that glove up.

Staal line keeping Kings in their end. Playing solid.
