Tye Kartye played a pivotal role in the Kraken's first matchup against the Ducks, delivering a hit that injured Leo Carlsson and ignited tensions between the teams. However, in the second game, he became a target for retaliation, facing aggressive attacks from Ducks players. Despite being attacked while down, the lack of support from his teammates during these altercations raised concerns about the Kraken's ability to protect their players and respond to physical play. As a young forward, Kartye's situation highlights the need for the Kraken to assert themselves in confrontations, especially as they aim for a playoff run.
