Up 3-1 with 11 minutes left. This could be twice in one week we beat the team with the best record in the league. Fingers crossed.

Good game from Driedger. I take it the Panthers are a physical team given they out-hit the Kraken 39 to 24 but apparently it didn't faze them. Good sign. Also, Kraken won 72% of the faceoffs and i still have no idea what that means. :)

A face off is the hockey equivalent of a jump ball in basketball. Everyone lineups around the circle and they drop the puck. You win the face off if your team gets the puck.

So is it mostly luck who wins the puck or is their some skill involved?

I guess there's some skill in a Kung Fu snatch-the-pebble-from-my-hand kind of way.
