GIRAFFE SNIPE!!!!!!!!!

Amazing what can happen when you don't have Ralph Krueger behind the bench, suddenly everyone looks like they at least have some sort of NHL talent

 

[WreckingCrew]

Worse than gritty?

Edit: oh my that is bad

Come on it can't be that b...holy shit that's terrible

The Kraken may have unveiled the worst mascot of all time.

The name is good. But a troll? Did they just panic and go to a halloween store? How the hell did they not do cute Cthulhu?

Seattle's mascot looks like something I would design in an NHL game, and I do not mean that as a compliment.

@Beef Invictus can vouch for this.

I mean the Rangers just beat Pittsburgh in the pos. I rank them over the geriatric snow birds.

They beat Pittsburg who had their 3rd string goalie and an injured Crosby.

Playing physical will gain you those advantages.

I like the idea of the Kraken connecting to the Fremont Troll sculpture, but couldn't they make it a better match to the sculpture?

It's true

 

[MinJaBen]

Gritty the personality, maybe. Its a shitty looking mascot though. Just like blooper, the phanatic and others

Gritty looks perfect. Cutesie and cartoonish mascots can f*** off. Give me crazy.

I mean, we have a pig, so something something stones, something something glass houses.

I think the Rags will be in danger of missing the playoffs if Shestyorkin doesn't play out of his mind again this year. He very well might, dude is incredibly talented. But I'd never want to be that dependent on goaltending. Also there's the matter of Gallant often wearing out his welcome pretty quickly.

Playing physical will gain you those advantages.

Charging and targeting star players with elbows will do that, yes. Rags are lucky the league allowed that to happen. Although the goaltending injuries were just terrible luck and timing for Pittsburgh. If not for those even with Crosby and Guentzel banged up the Pens likely win that series.

Came here to say exactly this.

 

[Canes]

Seattle should have just went with the Ernest Scared Stupid troll

 

[skipnjump]

I didn't believe you all, but that is a bad looking mascot. Kinda reminds me of Stormy crossed with a troll doll in really bad colors

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Are mascots really supposed to be any good? Philly Phanatic, Mr. Met, Youppi, Stormy, whatever they call the Heat's mascot, The green monster mascot, etc... Some of them seem good like the Minn. Vikings guy, the Suns Gorilla, etc...but a lot of them are pretty bad. Seattle seems like the worst of the bad though, but maybe that's what they were going for. "We're #1!!!!"

Your question answers itself. (See: 1979 Richmond Braves' Seymour Baseball and ... another guy.)

Yep, no political correctness in the 70’s.

See, it was clever because there's a nearby Powhatan county, and there's a major road through the city called the Powhite Parkway. Clever, I tells ya.

Gritty is arguably one of the best mascots in sports, let alone hockey.

The absurdity of the look is part of the charm, in my opinion.

Really? Philly fans hated Gritty too until a Twitter post. A Twitter post made the mascot. Its a pretty dumb mascot.
