For Seattle hockey fans, things haven’t gone their way recently. The Seattle Thunderbirds are now down 3-1 in the WHL Championship Series after losing two straight at home this week to the Edmonton Oil Kings, and Kraken goalie Chris Driedger tore his ACL playing in the IIHF World Championship. 

On this episode, the Sound Of Hockey Podcast breaks down those WHL games and discusses what options the Kraken have to backfill Driedger’s position. 

Also discussed on this show, USA Hockey has released its latest data, and Washington State has predictably seen quite an uptick. 

We then have a HYPE-o-thetical, Weekly One-Timers, and Three Stars.
