Marc Gatcomb

Yeah, no, in that line I think three of them, or two were on the power play for Olofsson as well, so-

And, and even, and even the fourth line, Chris, um, Dowd, Gatcomb two points apiece, two points, uh, for-

Fourth line's magnificent.

Fourth line is great

That was a theme with the fourth line last season.

they would win their minutes and there was actually the stat with McLean, Sezekis and Gatcombe.

When it came to shot attempts while being on the ice for the fourth line last year, Gatcombe, McLean, Sezekis for minimum time on ice too.

So this is not a bullshit stat.

They were top 15 in the league in either shot creation or chance creation, but they had a negative goal differential due to the lack of finishing talent.

And maybe the first inkling of this was in the first few seconds when they had a great chance to make a statement.

Mark Gatcomb went off two minutes for boarding, 15 seconds into the game.

The power play, which had looked terrific in the preseason, and it had looked also pretty formidable in the regular season, well, they really couldn't get much going, and from there, a disconnected result, no shots on goal as well.

And Vegas, you could kind of feel, begin to slowly turn the dial back the other way, and by the end of period one, they had built a two-nothing lead where when you're facing a Vegas team who was that seasoned, the odds are stacked against you to fight back.

Next game that, you might ask, coming up in Vegas, well, look at this, you will have these two teams squaring off down the road once again on January 9th, and then two more games as well in March.

So should the Kraken maybe file this one away? Does Vegas file this one as well from the Ben Myers hit on Viktor Olofsson? Time will certainly tell, but, uh, don't discount the fact about memory banks within hockey players and their brains.

And we saw some, uh, ugly stuff happen, and it could have turned a lot more uglier, or turned a lot more ugly back in the third period, uh, as a result of a couple of fights that broke out, one between Brandon Montour and Mark Stone, and then also Ryan Winterton fighting Mark Gatcomb.

But it's window dressing as far as this game is concerned, and we're gonna dive into more of the issues here that, uh, turned this game on its head and, uh, very, very, very early on as the Kraken fall six-two to the Vegas Golden Knights.

That is the energy we are riding right now.

That's a center stepping up.

Your morning fix.

He just squeezes one through Aiden Hill for his second this season to tie the game at two.

But a short time after that, Vegas with their fourth line on the ice.

It's Nick Dowd to Brayden Bowman, who tries a little wrap around the rebound, falls right to former Islander Mark Gatcomb.
