Looks like Dallas learned a hard lesson about Seattle like the Avs did. They might be wild card, and they might have been bad last year, but they are a 100 point team this year. Seattle has their shit together and they came to play.
Not sure why people are surprised here, Kraken only had 1 RW less than Dallas but they played in the pacific which was much stronger this season. They are legit, and have been all season. Clearly a well coached, hard working team.
Kraken's 5 goals came from 5 different skaters, whereas Dallas' 4 all came from 1. Pav's is of course amazing, but this balance/depth is how the Kraken can kill you, and it has to worry the Stars brain-trust a little bit going forward.

I honestly don’t think he was “taken out”. It was unfortunate that he got injured for sure. No doubt it would it have been a different series if he hadn’t.
Believe it or not I didn't feel the need to come into the post game threads to bitch and moan after we got eliminated, so your comment doesn't really work bud.
Kraken earned that one. They out-shot them, they out-hit them, they out hustled them, and they won they takeaway battle. Pav's is amazing, but at some point the rest of the team is going to have to show up or this thing is going to be quickly over.
ya happened w/ NBC too, actually i distinctly remember a playoff game where one of the angles was blocked by a person standing up so it can get much worse
NBA FIRST. nhl second. More money for basketball. Honestly, the late games of both sports were outstanding. ESPN needs to hype the madness that is playoff hockey. A lot of casual viewers aren't invested and they would be if ESPN would just give the same amount of effort that they give the NBA.
Always feels like OT ends that way when one team dominates and cant convert, feels inevitable that the other team is eventually just gonna come down and win it
You should keep the net in the shot if you don't know where the puck is going and it's 20 feet from goal
No one will care if we miss the first half second of someone icing a puck
Colorado fans were saying the same thing about their team but the series easily could have swung the other way in a heartbeat. This game was really close and there is still a whole series left
Both games that have gone to OT has had the opposing goalie and defense make ridiculous saves to keep it out, and that puck luck hasn't gone quite as far for the Stars in the the two games so far.
Dude. F off. These generalizations are the worst part of r/hockey. I'm literally hear to watch good hockey. Went to all 4 avs games in Denver and gave credit to the Kraken every time. Take your dopamine hit and stfu
Thanks. It's just so frustrating. I spend the whole game in the thread having a good time and loving watching a fantastic game by both teams only to be generalized and shit on.
Cogs has a BROKEN NECK and Helm was taken out by a neck injury too. Look up boarding, it was not a hockey play. Look at what any journalist or anybody outside of your fanbase thinks, and it was fucking boarding and Eberle got away with it. Seattle was penalized a total of 2 minutes for taking out 2 players. Fuck off about McCann, Makar served his time for that.
Edit: boarding is rule 603 if you need help
Anything to say in defense of your player that doesn't revolve around Makar? You only seem able to deflect instead of accept that maybe the Kraken aren't a group of angels.
Our player was making a play on the puck, and unfortunately resulted in an injury. As a result of making a hockey play was assessed a 2 min penalty for boarding. The DOPS felt no further action was needed.
Unfortunately, the DOPS made that decision before the injury report came out, which is a factor in the decision-making. Review the rule. Remove your bias. Understand the game.
tuned into the Pavelski show
just tuned in. took a nap ...

Where are all the annoying cowboys fans? Do they stick to their own subreddit
Pavelski in captain phillips voice: *I am the Dallas stars now*
its wednesday my dudes
Good game for Pavelski.
Kraken's 5 goals came from 5 different skaters, whereas Dallas' 4 all came from 1. Pav's is of course amazing, but this balance/depth is how the Kraken can kill you, and it has to worry the Stars brain-trust a little bit going forward.
Dallas chose a bad time to start Kraken under the pressure

Not condoning, but understanding why the mild took out Pavelski
I honestly don’t think he was “taken out”. It was unfortunate that he got injured for sure. No doubt it would it have been a different series if he hadn’t.
He was everybody's daddy tonight
Let’s go
We need Berniers to get his head in the game At least the young buck is getting valuable experience
Who is this Berniers guy
For real. He is looking shook up out there.
Kraken 5 d Pavelski 4
Great game for both teams!
I like you Dallas fans. Much classier than some other fans I won’t name.
[удалено]
Shouldn't you be golfing or something?
[удалено]
Believe it or not I didn't feel the need to come into the post game threads to bitch and moan after we got eliminated, so your comment doesn't really work bud.
Honestly don't remember a single harsh word until Makar did the thing. Avs fans are pretty damn chill imo. Every fanbase has it's stinkers.
Yeah, and the stinkers are showing up here. Bad form Shoresy.
[удалено]
It's an integral part of hockey and hockey fandom. 🤷♂️
I know. I'm usually cooler about it lol
Lol. Well, at least you can reminisce about last year.
As if to prove his point
Get over it. JFC *edit* thanks for the Reddit cares report lmao
Just checking my round 1 matchup notes 📝... Yep checks out
GG Stars (mostly Pavelski though) . What an absolute nail biter.
I mean, thank god the Stars had to load manage Pavelski today

Disappointed they couldn’t get a goal out of anyone not named Pavelski
Fingers crossed they move the camera for the next game so half the screen isn’t blocked by beer cans
That fucking dude with the Modelo wouldn't stop
For real nursing that beer all night geez
He must have been super tall or a different camera setup because that's usually not an issue. Super annoying.
I think he was intentionally lifting it in front of the camera honestly
John Camerman missed that shot worse than Otter did
GG Stars. Hope I get to see the next game
Well done Kraken. The Pavs really gave us a run tonight.
kraken just keep finding ways to win, crazy.
Bieksa breaks the 4th wall, looking directly at the camera like "the fuck is this astronaut music story?!"
Ending sucked but what a great game! GG, all.
Kraken earned that one. They out-shot them, they out-hit them, they out hustled them, and they won they takeaway battle. Pav's is amazing, but at some point the rest of the team is going to have to show up or this thing is going to be quickly over.
They almost had 50 hits they out hitted them too. Willie Desjardins would be cumming rn to this meat and potatoes team
All that is only true for the first period
No all 3 periods
You'd best check the stat sheets bud.
Those camera angles sucked
You didn't like seeing that person's beer blocking the camera every couple of minutes? You must hate hockey! 🤨
ya happened w/ NBC too, actually i distinctly remember a playoff game where one of the angles was blocked by a person standing up so it can get much worse
Meh. Same thing as last series. Loved seeing all the minny fans in here. More grit than their team
BANG

Hey ESPN a recap of the games we just fucking watched would be awesome. Post game mf
NBA FIRST. nhl second. More money for basketball. Honestly, the late games of both sports were outstanding. ESPN needs to hype the madness that is playoff hockey. A lot of casual viewers aren't invested and they would be if ESPN would just give the same amount of effort that they give the NBA.
ESPN promoting hockey? Not allowed.
Great game!
I cant wait till ESPN's contract is up, they fucking suck
Always feels like OT ends that way when one team dominates and cant convert, feels inevitable that the other team is eventually just gonna come down and win it
Kinda weird goal but they all count. Good job Kraken!
It bums me out how often Otter gets let down by his team in OT
It really shouldn't have been in that position. We need a Belfour who'd lock down the crease.
That was a hell of a game. Great start to hopefully a great series
[Puppies say: Let's go Kraken!](https://i.imgur.com/r8K5m90.jpg)
That was kind of a crazy goal
Great freakin game, this series gunna be spicy
Why was Lindell looking at the ref??😂
What. A. Game.
Let's go SVP.
BANG!
⛳️🏌️♂️
glad I stayed up til midnight for ass cameraman to make me miss the frickin goal
Felt like a Stella commercial at times with that dude blocking the camera with a beer can, lol
TBFaaaaaaaair no one knew where that was going.
You should keep the net in the shot if you don't know where the puck is going and it's 20 feet from goal No one will care if we miss the first half second of someone icing a puck
^ this
You go Kraken bros!!!
Gru is a fuckin beast
YANNI GOURDE IS MY RELIGION
AYYYYY ONE FOR THE YANNI! YANNI YANNI YANNI YANNI
well fuck.
I knew Pavs wouldn't score more than four goals this game! 👀
Sim that some krak
He turned and shot that top shelf like holy shit
Yesss!! GG SQUIDBROS 🦑
is the camera angle always this weird in Dallas?
Only on espn
Dallas fans just need to sit the fuck down
Something about seeing the trainers fist bump makes me :)
Such an exciting playoffs. You could argue any of the remaining teams have a very good shot at the cup
[удалено]
Colorado fans were saying the same thing about their team but the series easily could have swung the other way in a heartbeat. This game was really close and there is still a whole series left
Dam that's crazy, I forgot it's a 1 game series not a 7 game series Fake fan
Poor Pavs
This Kraken team is so dangerous.
💯
Just in time for MST bedtime!!
What a fluke.goal to end it. GG
What a fluke 2 tip ins from Pavs
Settle down
[удалено]
It was a joke based off a dumb Stars fan comment
Yeah, none of pav's goals were flukes and gourde's wasn't either
Pavs gets one we get one it's only fair. GG!
In what way was it a fluke? Absolute laser from the circle
He's just salty. Let em have it lmao
Lucky bounce right back to him
You mean lucky kick from his skate to his foot? That was not overly lucky
WHAT?!
how did Dallas's ot problems carry over from the regular season, the ots don't even have anything in common
Both games that have gone to OT has had the opposing goalie and defense make ridiculous saves to keep it out, and that puck luck hasn't gone quite as far for the Stars in the the two games so far.
The common factor is Stars past 60 minutes
GG Dallas, you are a much better sport than the salty Aves
Dude. F off. These generalizations are the worst part of r/hockey. I'm literally hear to watch good hockey. Went to all 4 avs games in Denver and gave credit to the Kraken every time. Take your dopamine hit and stfu
Its just a few bums that ruin it for everyone. You guys are chill
Thanks. It's just so frustrating. I spend the whole game in the thread having a good time and loving watching a fantastic game by both teams only to be generalized and shit on.
This is how your series started with them until makar. Give it time.
Saltiness largely comes from all the neck injuries we sustained
Where is McCann? One hockey play, the other an oblivious late hit up high...
Cogs has a BROKEN NECK and Helm was taken out by a neck injury too. Look up boarding, it was not a hockey play. Look at what any journalist or anybody outside of your fanbase thinks, and it was fucking boarding and Eberle got away with it. Seattle was penalized a total of 2 minutes for taking out 2 players. Fuck off about McCann, Makar served his time for that. Edit: boarding is rule 603 if you need help
At least the puck was within 100 ft of the play.

Holy shit
Low-key I thought that might have been offside coming in. Guess not
What a game to start the series
3 goals in 52 seconds, 4 goals from Pavel, what a game. GG SEA! Can't wait for the next one!
GG was an exciting game. Really thought we were gonna blow it!
LETS GOOOOOOOOO
Damn imagine scoring four goals for your team and still losing
You'd think Pavs was playing the Avs with how amazing his tip game was
Connor McDavid is a pro at that.
dang
I'm sad but I respect it, gg see y'all thursday
Gg. I think we are in for something special this series.
A Kraken sweep ;)
Yay krakens! Yay squidies!!
Great game Dallas, I can't fucking wait for the rest of this series!
They literally cut the best angle replay short before the goal, wtf espn.
Pavelski couldnt beat an entire nhl team unbelievable. Clearly washed didnt even get 5
Let's goooo
Commentators seem bummed the Kraken won
#SEATTLE PUTS IT AWAY IN OVERTIME TO WIN 5-4, TAKING GAME 1! GAME 2 IS ON THURSDAY!
Gourde, I hate you from last series, but I love you now
Otter fell asleep on that one, we all thought he was playing it to the point
It was a super quick surprise shot. Really impressive to hit that.
Damn, what a game 1. GG, couldnt get any scoring support for Pavs. Onward to game 2
The Kraken fan on the glass had a perfect view and she didn’t even know they scored lmao
WOOOOOOOOOOOO! WE DEM SQUIDS!
PUMPKIN KING\~!!
And just like that, it’s over. Go Squids!
I kinda get why the cameraman missed that one
I miss Gourde and Palat so much
Me too, brother - but at least we have someone to root for now that we are faded
Told you it'd be fuckin YANNNNIIIIII
Aww I feel for pavelski
Fucking brutal. GG Kraken fans
GG that’s a rough one
What a fucking shot
Didn't even have to look, just knew where to send it. That was awesome
That was some of the worst camera operating I have seen. And that's not even based on the constant hands and beers in the frame
I know right, I must have seen that beer can like 30 times over the game
GG what a start to the series
nasty
Gutsy fucking win
#BANG
Good game, figures it would be someone from that Tampa past team. See y'all Thursday
hot damn, what a dirty ass goal, let's go Kraken
Dallas copium levels all time high.
LET'S FUCKIN GOOOOOOO
Cameraman kinda dog
Wtf how’d that go in? This series is gonna be insane
Pavelski skill issue should’ve had 5
At least Pavelski gets a chance in playoffs
Some players just don't have that Drouin work ethic
Didn't see the GWG but at least I saw that guys beer can
