Grubauer struggles in another disappointing Kraken game | Kraken R&R

[@dadrums]

The look Gourde gives Grubby after the fourth Walman goal pretty much tells the story. His own teammates think he sucks.

Yes keep kicking the sharks to the side that’s what we want. I hope we get underestimated all season and beyond

[@fattylumpkin9209]

I try to not be a gru hater but I am having a hard time with that. I'm sure it sucks for him too, but i am ready to not see him around anymore whenever it does happen.

would be so much better with actual highlights

[@CheapSeatsSports]

I know. And I've considered it but copy rights are a thing. I know other channels take the risk and deal with losing ad revenue but I haven't gotten there yet.

Ok I'm so over this. I hated the Grubauer pickup on the expansion draft. The only time in the 4 years of this team that he's been ANY KIND OF CONSISTENT was the Playoffs 2 years ago. Other than that IDK WHAT I'M LOOKING AT. He quite literally can't stop a beach ball. 1/2 of those goals leaked through him either in the blocker side or 5 hole. It's like watching peewee hockey. I well and truly wish Phillip Grubauer the best but it's time for him to go. Bylsma WHY DID YOU LEAVE HIM IN TO GIVE UP 8 GOALS. I'm flashing back to Patrick Roy in Montreal when the coach there left him handing high and dry FOR HALF THE GAME. I know we got a back to back but 5 goals given up on 12 shots regardless of where the score was. YANK HIM OUT. He doesn't have it. But you left him hanging in there. NOT COOL. You even said these games we can't afford to lose. WELL GUESS WHAT WE HAVE LOST 66% OF THE GAMES TO THE 2 WORST TEAMS IN THE WEST. THE DUCKS AND THE SHARKS. Where is the fire in your team this is worse than last year or year 1. IDK what I'm looking at

[@CheapSeatsSports]

He's had some good stretches the last couple years but definitely hasn't put together a complete season that is true. He only gave up 7 in this one but yeah as I said it was a horrible performance. As for him being left in by coach I'm quite sure he would've known going in they were saving Joey for the second game unless he got hurt. Considering Joey's workload recently I think that's a fair decision. The only thing I'm really surprised by is that they didn't use the timeout at any point.

[@Skeezle1986]

@@CheapSeatsSports but there's always another option. Like put Daccord in after 5 goals. Then send Grubauer down or whatever and call up a rookie goalies to play for a bit to see how he does. Grubauer doesn't have it. And the team consistently looks like they are skating in mud when he's in net. There's no flight, there's no toughness there is no pride in the team. IDK if the players don't like Grubauer or subconsciously they just think they are gonna lose. IDK but someone needs a shake up

[@dadrums]

Well i disagree with you on grubby has been good enough to win games his .88 save percentage and 3+ GAA say different. He has let in so many soft goals over the 3+ seasons it’s getting ridiculous. He hasn’t had a save percentage above .89 since he’s been here. That’s simply not good enough in this league to get you to the playoffs.

[@beast-mode2912]

I think we need a change to the first line all three of them are mainly shooters and they are struggling to find any offence

[@CheapSeatsSports]

I think of Beniers as more of a play maker than a shooter. He has a great shot but often looks pass first. Burky is pretty much there because someone needs to be and he has a lot of talent they are hoping to spark again. If the scoring dries up again I'd be ok with making a change on that side but they've still been playing well as a line to me. Even though they haven't scored the last couple games they've created opportunities and set up other lines to score.

[@Sydiscool13]

Ngl I’m not trying to be mean I think Joey is a better goalie but I still like Gru

[@CheapSeatsSports]

I won't fault anyone for liking a player on the team they cheer for. With the exception of, if that player is a totally reprehensible human, but the Kraken don't have any close to fitting that description.
