Ben Meyers Faces the Music After Kraken's Ugly Loss to Tampa Bay
The Kraken got absolutely shelled on Tuesday night, falling 6-2 to the Tampa Bay Lightning at home. Yeah, that's as bad as it sounds. Ben Meyers sat down with the media afterward to break down what went wrong, and honestly, there's not much to spin when you get lit up like that at Climate Pledge Arena.
A Night to Forget
This one stung. The Lightning came in and took over, hanging six goals on the Kraken while the home team could only muster two. Jared McCann managed to find the back of the net with one of Seattle's goals, which is something at least. But when you're getting outscored 6-2, individual contributions don't make the sting any less real.
Meyers Opens Up
After the final buzzer, Meyers took questions from reporters and gave his perspective on the loss. These postgame pressers after blowouts are never fun, but they're part of the deal. The Kraken had a chance to build momentum after the way things were going, but instead they laid an egg against a Lightning team that clearly came ready to play.
What's Next
The Kraken need to shake this one off fast and refocus. This is the kind of loss that can either snap a team awake or send them spiraling, depending on how they respond. Seattle's playoff positioning can't afford many nights like this, so we'll be watching closely to see if they bounce back or if this is the start of something concerning. Either way, the Emerald City faithful will be expecting better next time around.
