The Carolina Kraken have their work cut out for them if they want to make a run in these playoffs. After a subpar regular season going 25-35-6 they will be facing tough opponents every step of the way. The focus in the locker room isn’t on the end of the playoffs. It is on the first round. All the players and staff are only focused on the events immediately in front of them. A week off between the end of the regular season and the start of the first round meant the Kraken spent a lot of time reviewing film. In six games against Colorado, the Kraken went 2-4 with two games going into extra time. These two teams may be closer than the standings appear. With a focus on film the Kraken are looking to shut down the top lines of Colorado and keep the team quiet in their own building. With the Krackheads screaming their heads off, the Kraken will be determined to give the fans what they want at home.
