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.
