Seattle Kraken

While I’m not expecting a 10 goal blow-out, I would like to see us break up the winning streak the Stars have going. At this point in the season, I just want to see good, fun hockey.

<div></div>The Need to Knows How Did We Get Here? For the past decade or so, there were certain ideas we all knew were true: water is wet, Keanu Reeves is a nice guy, and the Canucks are a mediocre hockey team. That last item, however, is no longer the case. This season, Vancouver proves to […]

Oak Harbor’s Kyle Sorenson dreamed up a five-on-five, full-gear goalie game in Bellingham with a wild set of rules called “Oops! All Goalies.”

Seasoned NHL patrons will tell you nothing beats a heated regional rivalry, and a first-round playoff matchup vs. Vancouver would create some local hockey buzz.

<div></div>The Need to Knows The Stats The Detroit Red Wings are good at scoring goals this season as they’re currently sixth in the league at doing so.

The Kraken’s injury list has emptied and line combinations that worked in the past are giving it another go. That leaves a handful of players in undesirable spots.

<div></div>No meaningful progress has been made on finalizing the future of one of Seattle's top pending free agents.

The Kraken’s playoff hopes are wobbly but intact. If they’re lucky, it will be a tense final two months. It starts with a six-game homestand that starts Monday.

When asked by Geoff Baker (Seattle Times) […]

The Kraken, who’ve dropped eight of their last 10 after an ugly 3-1 loss to the Devils on Monday, didn’t look sharp heading into the All-Star break and have gotten even worse with the 11-day layoff between games.

After record-setting turnarounds last season, the Kraken are on pace for a 16-point drop and the Devils a 24-point tumble entering Monday's game.

<div></div>The Need to Knows Know Your Enemy Scoring 2.71 goals per 60 (7th) and allowing 2.79 goals against per 60 (6th), the New Jersey Devils are unruly on both ends of the ice.

A rusty bunch of Kraken returned from the All-Star break with a 3-2 road loss to the Flyers, their seventh loss in the last nine games.

Kraken defenseman Justin Schultz did not accompany the team to the East Coast for “personal reasons” but would hopefully rejoin the squad within a matter of days.

<div></div>The Need to Knows Know Your Enemy The Flyers have not had a boring season, for better or for worse (and there’s plenty of both to go around).
