Nice to have some news on this fine summer day.

That’s fine I guess. Better choice than the last one.

I assume those are all at CPA. I might get up to one this year.

I dont like that all preseason games are in Seattle at CPA. As a season ticket holder, preseason games suck and you have to pay full price. Sure in the end they may say ticket price for that game is $30 but I am paying $130/ticket/game for my seats regardless if its versus Colorado on a Saturday night in January or vs Calgary on a Tuesday in the preseason.

I'd love in the future for it to be 1 game in Seattle, 1 game in Spokane and then 1 other regional game (Tri-cities, Wenaatchee, Portland, Boise, Anchorage, Missoula).

 

[The Marquis]

If they want to grow the game, they should be playing all over the region for those preseason games.

Just as a reminder, the NHL schedule will be released today.

Any guesses who our first opponent will be?

Personally I doubt we'll be playing on day one and I could see a game in California to start the season.

 

[The Marquis]

Vegas @ Seattle day 2 is my guess.

 

[RainyCityHockey]

The schedule is out.

The Kraken play their first game on October 12th @ Anaheim.

Chicago fan coming in peace. Enjoy him. My all time favorite.

 

[The Marquis]

Always liked the dude when he was on the national broadcasts, so this is a pleasant surprise. Curious how this shakes out with the rest of the team.

 

[gstommylee]

Sounds like a 3 man booth.

 

[HoseEmDown]

Not a fan of Olczyk. Forslund and Brown were a good team already, there was no need to add Eddie O. If anything they should have added the female that covered for Brown when he had Covid.

As a Blackhawks fan this is devastating news. But now Seattle has the best color man in the business. Take care of him and make sure to stock up on soft serve ice cream!

Anything is an upgrade over the bunch that worked this season. If it was up to me I'd change them all. It was amateur hour.

The bunch?
You mean John Forslund?

 

[brewski420]

Not a fan of Edzo at all. But then most Pens fans can't stand him so there is that. I thought JT was improving as the year went on. Hopefully he will still be a big part.

 

[jbron]

Forslund and Olczyk will work good together. At least they know hockey and it's a good set up for the Kraken.

I mean every single person who spoke on a Kraken broadcast including everyone in the intermissions.
