NHL - release the Kraken

Meh. NHL has had some bad mascot choices in recent expansions. This is not the worst.

the city of Seattle always seems to choose unique monikers. I like that

For anyone not aware, the Kraken is a revered giant sea creature in Nordic folklore… so it’s a nod to Seattle’s heavy Scandinavian heritage and history, a la Minnesota Vikings.

As a Seattleite and a hockey fan it was initially among my least favorite of the options being peddled. I’ll admit I like it though, especially the logo and color scheme. Worst part is that the new arena has such a terrible name (Climate Pledge Arena) that everyone is just going to end up calling it the Krak House.

Sports names end with an ‘s’ - the imagery and the logo are fantastic. The name is catastrophically stupid.

Like the Utah Ja… oh wait.

You know the opposing teams fans are going to roll with that when the Kraken visit. :joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy:

Anyone catch Stars 5-4 OT win vs Avs?

Kid that scored the winning goal played in 11 games this season and had 1 goal. Today he had a hat trick. :star_struck:

Playoff hockey!
