Up 3-1 on Stanley Cup champs in their own shit hole.

Not a total loss losing tonight as getting the split was really the goal of the trip ... but being up 2-0 after 1 tonight brought being greedy into play

Good lesson for the Kraken as a group about how desperate you have to be in playoff hockey as the last 40 for Colorado tonight was effectively a Game 7 for them. The Kraken have a lot of players with deep playoff experience but as a group they haven't gone through it together yet and it showed at times.

On the whole, they are where you would have wanted them to be heading home and it's probably realistic to be thinking a split at home is likely.

Winning another game in Colorado is likely needed to win the series.

OKC would be a better hockey town

It's year two. They may still grow on you.

In order to grow on me I would have to enjoy hockey, no?

Again, it's possible the game grows on you. Having an NHL team in town makes that far more likely than before, I would think. Somebody gives you free tickets, chick you're seeing is into it and has you watch with her, you get invited to a watch party during a playoff run - lots of ways you could end up getting pulled into it and liking the game.

Not saying you will, don't twist. You might not.

In person, hockey is pretty fun. I used to go to Silvertips games all the time. Have also driven up to Vancouver for an NHL game in the past.

Hockey is a horrible tv sport and I think that's the barrier for me. Too expensive to go to games in person and half-impossible to watch on tv.
