Must have been a slow line change by Dahlin. Or he distracted a teammate from the bench.

[Pimlach]

Dahlin with a hip check.
 

 Shades of Mike Robitaille. 

[Norcal]

The 4 guys watching that goal should feel shame

Tokarski plays goal like my neighborhood friends chubby little brother. Game enough to stand in the net and get blasted in street hockey games. Always looking behind him to find a puck in the net.  
 

Goal 3 is not on him btw.

Bingo 

[Pimlach]

Yup.  Toker is just like that neighbor kid. 

[GASabresIUFAN]

Butcher with the save.  Thank the lord he’s back in the lineup.

[HumanSlinky39]

Put Butcher in goal, please.

[DarthEbriate]

The Kraken audio call noted during the rush that that was Borgen, Sheahen, MoJo... all the ex-Sabres.

[Gatorman0519]

Swept and Destroyed by an expansion team in both games. Is it safe to say we’d be better off folding for a year and coming in as an expansion team? Lol. 

[Sabel79]

I mean, this team is and always was absolute ass.  We should be happy for the games they win, on the few occasions that happens.  
 

but seriously, those occasional will be few.

Toker is shellshocked. Time to make a goalie move. Even if it's Houser coming up for a game.

02h30 am , well of to get some sleep I guess 😞

It’s hard to believe there are several teams with a worse record. Although the start has temporarily masked the truth.

To be fair: the Kraken's slow start aside, Vegas or Seattle are not like earlier expansion teams. The draft rules were significantly better for the new teams than in previous decades. Any expansion team with the recent draft parameters can easily ice a competitive roster. Remember all the preseason prognostications -- the Kraken roster stats-wise says it should be able to make the playoffs. They've simply been getting garbage goaltending from every goalie this season (they're all sub .900 save percentage).
