Erica L. Ayala's fired up, folks. She's had it with the Kraken's goalie management. Joey Daccord's getting run into the ground, and for what? We're out of the playoffs, people! Erica's so po'd, she's even reconsidering tanking. Yeah, you heard that right. She's looking at Daccord's workload and his saves above expected on Money Puck, and she's not liking what she sees. 

And what's the deal with Shane Wright? Fans are freaking out about his ice time, but Erica's got a theory. Maybe it's all part of the master plan, like what they did with McCann. But it's not all doom and gloom. The Kraken showed some fight against Vegas. Sure, they lost 2-1, but hey, at least they kept the penalties down. Still, those turnovers and that power play... yikes. 

Erica's not pulling any punches. She wants Daccord to get some rest and she's calling out the brass for their "non-rebuild" talk.
