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.
