I'm hoping Knight is on the upswing - kid's got tremendous talent and he deserves it.

My two Kraken sweaters at this point are Grubauer and Driedger, in case anyone's wondering what went wrong.
(I also have a winter classic NNOB sweater, and that turned out okay.)

I think those Oilers McDavid and Draisaitl jerseys would look good on @Bear of Bad News
I'm actually considering a Hellebuyck sweater, if that would help?

Hold on to that money. Spend it if we make it to the playoffs ..

Kraken up.
They sure do. That’s a team that could make the playoffs and do some damage. Hockey is fun for them again.

Yeah, if this was what Armstrong/Tourigny managed to accomplish with ownership holding them back in Arizona, they could be serious monsters in another year or two in Utah.
That Guenther OT goal was so impressive to watch in real-time. You could literally see his hockey IQ kick in as he slammed on the brakes entering the zone to create space for his shot.

I dunno, in this case it feels different. I kinda feel bad for the Coyotes fans who have to watch them do well someplace else, because the owner was a dud. I was dipping into the Utah GDT while I watched the game and more than one of the Arizona refugees in there mentioned how much the constant reminders by the broadcast team made them feel bad. Must suck.

That makes it even worse for me. I've kinda lost a team (and I half wish I'd lose one of them (the one that can't be assed to spend the "most profitable" amount of money in their league and put together an actual contender), but I didn't live in that location, so it didn't hurt as bad, but the Dallas Stars are still the team I hate the most in the NHL... soooo.. Yeah, I don't like it when teams move, even when they have to, because of what they leave behind that didn't deserve it.

Well, they did a proper rebuild and now have an ownership group that actually spends some money.
BTW: They also still have quite some talent already in their system and loads of draft picks coming up.

I could be mis-remembering but I think they had Cooley and Guenther on the ice with a D for the winner in OT. Would looooooove to have a combo of young studs like that in Seattle...

Yes, both of them are with the NHL club.
Though, they still have quite some talent in their system(both of the russians they drafted in 2023 etc.) and also have their 1st rounders and multiple 2nd rounders the next couple of drafts.

Right, I meant that Tourigny apparently thinks highly enough of them that he was running them out on the ice at the same time (with a D, I dont remember which) during Overtime. I respect that, the Bizarro Hakstol if you will.

Crazy to think Utah could have been the Kraken if the league approved that move before any expansion.
Happened to the Sonics, the Thunder went to the NBA finals with Durant, Westbrook and Harden in 2012. All were drafted by the Sonics or in Hardens case they used the Sonics draft position to get him in 2009. Basically the sonics sucked before it and Oklahoma reaped the benefits. I don't know anyone from Seattle that follows the Thunder though or ever carried that on.

Even though it's super early, the oilers look like they have a Stanley cup hangover. The more points we can cushion on them the better when they eventually get out the funk.
Getting vibes that Vancouver and Seattle can never have good seasons at the same time. They look bad so far. Again super early

Watching this Capitals/Penguins game on an ESPN+ feed and Steve Levy and Ray Ferraro are excruciating to listen to. They have absolutely zero chemistry and Levy seems to be making snide comments specifically to piss Ferraro off, who sounds annoyed by it.
Kraken fans just have it so incredibly good with Forslund.
