Monday Musings: Saturdays are fun again

The Kraken just wrapped up a fun week of hockey at Climate Pledge Arena, winning two out of three games with victories against the Buffalo Sabres and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Their only loss came against the league-leading Washington Capitals. I won’t pretend it was...

The Seattle Kraken have magically won three of their last five games, just missing out on at least another point in their one loss of the week against the Winnipeg Jets. That loss came after the Jets scored off a fluky bounce with 30 seconds remaining. Regardless of...

Monday Musings: It can’t get any worse

Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does. The Kraken went 1-3-0 over the last week, with two of those losses standing out as some of the worst games the team has ever played—a pair of 6-2 defeats in Columbus and Detroit. In classic 2024-25 Kraken fashion,...

The Seattle Kraken captured three points out of a possible six over the past week. However, after securing two points in their first game of the week against Utah, it feels like a missed opportunity to gain more. Following Tuesday's win over Utah, they came from...

Monday Musings – Kraken search for scoring

The Kraken split a pair of games over the last week: a solid but not dominant 3-0 win against Nashville and a 2-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday afternoon. If you had asked me last week whether I would be happy with a split in those two games, I would have...

Monday Musings – Kraken banking points

Monday Musings – Kraken banking points

We always knew November would be a good opportunity to gain ground by accumulating points during a softer stretch of the schedule. While no game in the NHL is ever automatic, bubble playoff teams need to take advantage of matchups by banking points against weaker...

Monday Musings: The struggle bus

Monday Musings: The struggle bus

There’s no sugarcoating it—the Seattle Kraken are struggling right now. After scoring eight goals against the Montreal Canadiens last Tuesday, the Kraken have managed just one goal in their last three games, all losses to the Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators, and...

Monday Musings: Looking for Kraken insights

The Kraken wrapped up a five-game homestand with a 4-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday, a game that could arguably be considered their worst of the season. Until that game, the Kraken had been competitive in every game, even when outplayed. Carolina is a...

Last Saturday, the Seattle Kraken came back from a two-goal deficit against the Minnesota Wild to win the game, something they never did last season. Fast forward to this past Saturday, when the Kraken won a Saturday night home game for the first time since April 8,...

Monday Musings – The regular season is nigh

The Seattle Kraken had just one preseason game since last week’s Monday Musings, a 6-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers. It was the perfect game to end the preseason, with both teams fielding nearly full-strength rosters. Shane Wright scored two goals, and Philipp...
