Monday Musings – Holding serve
In last week’s Monday Musings, I mentioned that getting three out of a possible six points in the week would be fine, and that is exactly what the Seattle Kraken did. Could it have been better? Of course, but the Kraken are playing well enough to be a borderline...
Three Takeaways – Tanev hurt again, Canucks run away from Kraken
At Friday's morning skate, Kraken coach Dave Hakstol said this: "Most importantly, it's the start of the hockey game. The beginning of the game gives us an opportunity to build a 60-minute performance." But after a 5-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks, the Kraken bench...

Three Takeaways – Kraken blow late lead again, lose in OT to Flames
For some reason, this 4-3 Seattle Kraken loss to the Calgary Flames in overtime didn't sting *quite* as badly as the loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Nov. 15. Trying to wrap our heads around why that is, we think it's because Seattle was coming off a big 60-minute win...
Monday Musings – Good times in Van
What a difference a week makes. Last Monday, it felt like the Seattle Kraken were on the brink of theoretical elimination from contending for a playoff spot, and now I am convinced they are a playoff team. Remember what I said about recency bias a few weeks ago? It...
