Official Red Wings social media team dunks on the Kraken, and fans are loving it
It was a blowout victory for the Detroit Red Wings against the Seattle Kraken, and the official Red Wings social media team had some (good-natured) fun at their visitor's expense!
Sunday afternoon's opening 20 minutes of play for the Detroit Red Wings was possibly the most fun they'd had in a single period all year.
Before the visiting Seattle Kraken could blink, the Red Wings built up a 4-0 lead.
The Red Wings social media team had some fun at the Kraken's expense, re-posting a graphic they made during their 1st period yesterday against the Buffalo Sabres with an updated caption:
And Red Wings fans appreciated the good-natured humour at Seattle's situation.
Love to see the admins having fun too
IM CACKLING
Hold up, let admin cook
Well played, admin, well played!
The Red Wings raced out to a 4-0 1st period lead over the Kraken
Marco Kasper got the fun started, deflecting a shot by Dylan Larkin past Philipp Grubauer for his 2nd goal in as many games:
J.T. Compher then deflected the puck past Grubauer for a quick 2nd goal:
Just moments into their 1st power play chance, Alex DeBrincat blasted a shot off the back bar of the net and out:
And finally, Erik Gustafsson dished a sneaky pass to a wide open Patrick Kane, who scored the easiest goal he's had in quite some time:
