Krakens Goaltender Takes Matters Into His Own Hands And Destroys Jason Zucker
The reputation of goalies being the last line of defense not just against pucks but also in holding their ground is well-known, with names like Patrick Roy, Eddie Belfour, and Jordan Binnington standing out as netminders who command respect in their crease.
It seems Seattle Kraken's Philipp Grubauer is carving out a similar reputation for himself, following a notable incident with Nashville Predators recent addition, Jason Zucker.
In a moment that sparked debate, Grubauer made it clear to Zucker that his crease was off-limits, a message delivered without the puck in play but also without drawing a penalty. This led to a stir among fans and pundits alike, some of whom argued that Grubauer should have been called for interference.
This recent display of frustration could be a sign of Grubauer's growing impatience, as the Kraken find themselves lagging in 12th place in their conference, far from playoff contention. The incident in the game, which ended in a 4-1 loss, highlights not just Grubauer's intensity but also the broader challenges facing the team.
