Episode 183 – Matty Mania

April 13, 2022

It’s been an eventful week for the Seattle Kraken and their fans, as No. 2 overall draft pick Matty Beniers signed his entry-level contract and made his NHL debut against the Calgary Flames. The news generated a ton of buzz around Seattle, and Beniers lived up to the hype in his first official showing. The Kraken have also played four games since the last episode, so John, Andy, and Darren break down those contests before moving to a rare “Mail Bag” segment, which got some great participation from listeners. 

After closing the mail bag, Darren discusses the NCAA Frozen Four, which ended with Denver University as national champion. He also talks about the outcome of the Hobey Baker Award and what is happening with players leaving college to sign in the NHL. 

Eventually, the guys shift to segments, which this week feature Bad Boys, You Don’t See That Every Day, Weekly One-Timers, and Tweets of the Week.
