New York. Well, the Seattle Kraken isn’t just a tight group machine.
Last night, they had a resounding offensive attack at home in Climate Pledge Arena, where they defeated Dallas by a score of 7-2.
“It’s really good that we’ve scored a lot of goals and we can build confidence in that,” says Alex Weinberg, himself responsible for one of Sportbladet’s goals.
It was their largely team play, defensive prowess and ability to find ways to win tight, low-scoring games that led the Seattle Kraken to their surprising success in this first playoff appearance – and it seemed at first that these were the skills they would also be used in Third quarter against Dallas.
The opening period was characteristically tight and ended 0-0.
“Very good match”
But then it just crashed. A legendary sea monster spoon In pucks on the normally excellent Jake Oettinger, he took a 4-0 lead eight and a half minutes midway through the first half, was up 5-1 at the final break and eventually won 7-2.
– It felt like a very good game on our part, says Swedish midfielder Alex Weinberg when we got him next.
– We were dissatisfied after the second game, and I think it was strong of us to get back into our game again tonight. At the same time, of course, it’s really good that we’ve scored a lot of goals and we can build confidence in that.
“He rarely shoots…”
In typical Seattle fashion, the goals were scored by seven different players, and they are and still are a collective as everyone contributes to the practice equally – and “Wenny” was one of them.
3.36 in that insanely productive second period, he holed a toxic shot behind Oettinger.
“I rarely shoot, so it was fun to splash in there, and it’s also good for self-confidence,” says the 28-year-old from Stockholm, who also responded for help.
The next game in the series takes place on a Wednesday night, and until then, the venue is Climate Pledge Arena – perhaps the hall with the best crowd pressure at the moment.
