Our Seattle Kraken fell 4-3 to the New York Rangers last night. It was another tight one, another one that slipped away, and that stings hard when you see how other teams are closing out games with that absolute killer instinct.
Wild Finish in Winnipeg
While our boys were battling, out in Winnipeg, the Jets and Tampa Bay Lightning put on a show that probably had fans on the edge of their seats until the very last tenth of a second. The Jets, after blowing a late three-goal lead, somehow snatched victory from the jaws of overtime. Mark Scheifele was the hero, scoring on a 5-on-3 power play with an unbelievable 1.6 seconds left on the clock. He celebrated like mad, as he should. Talk about finding a way to win. It was a classic 4-3 nail-biter on Sunday, November 8, 2026.
Scrappy Play Across the Ice
That Jets-Lightning game wasn’t just about the dramatic finish, either. It was a physical battle from start to finish. In the first period, we saw Jets’ Cole Koepke collide with Lightning’s Jeff Viel. Later, in the second, Jets’ Neal Pionk checked Tampa Bay’s Nikita Kucherov right into goaltender Stuart Skinner, showing how intense the puck battles were getting. And Jets’ Dylan DeMelo even got in a cross-check on Tampa Bay’s Pontus Holmberg in the first. It was clearly a hard-fought contest, showcasing the kind of grit and determination that wins tight games.
For us Seattle fans, watching our Kraken drop another close 4-3 game against the Rangers, it really highlights how crucial those final moments are. We need to find that extra gear, that one clutch play, that 1.6-second hero moment to turn these close calls into wins. Every single point matters, and we have to start finding ways to get them. Keep fighting, boys, we know you’ve got it in you.
