After the way Seattle played in its first two home games Saturday and Monday, having the Kraken of old back against the St. Louis Blues was refreshing. When we say “Kraken of old,” we’re referring to the version we saw last year, the one that would often fall behind...
So far we’ve seen two different Kraken teams this season; the one that controlled its first two games in Southern California (though it fumbled the first one away in overtime), and the one that has looked almost outclassed in two home games since. We’re hopeful...
That was a truly miserable home opener for the Kraken. After a bad start put them behind the Vegas Golden Knights 2-0 in the first few minutes, Seattle didn’t find its way until the third period when the score was 5-0 and well out of reach. It was disappointing for...
If we told Kraken fans a few days ago that Seattle would take three points out of four from this two-game trip with back-to-backs, we surmise that most of those fans would have been quite excited about that predicted outcome. Wednesday’s 5-4 overtime loss in Anaheim...
It started bad. Then it got better. Then it got really good. Then it started to get bad again. Then it got better again. Then it got really bad. And this wraps up Sound Of Hockey’s analysis of the opening night 5-4 Kraken overtime loss to the Anaheim Ducks. Ok,...
This preseason had already been surprisingly fun for Seattle Kraken fans, but Saturday’s game was downright memorable. Not only did the Kraken beat the Canucks 4-0 at Climate Pledge Arena to improve to 4-0-0 in their four meaningless games so far, but they also...
This one had the makings of a real stinker for the Kraken, who—at least on paper—appeared to be overmatched coming in. In Thursday’s preseason game against the Vancouver Canucks, Seattle dressed a young lineup with only a handful of roster locks, while its neighbors...
Don’t look now, but your Seattle Kraken are 2-0 in the preseason. Take the success with a grain of salt, though, because A.) the preseason means nothing, and B.) Seattle has not yet faced any real competition. Tuesday’s matchup against the Flames had a similar feel to...
Kraken hockey is so back. Seattle won its preseason opener 3-0 against the “Oilers,” with the opposing team name in quotes because Edmonton didn’t exactly trot out a superstar-laden lineup. Still, it was a fun night back at Climate Pledge Arena for the first time...
Call it a hunch, but sometimes you just have a feeling that things are going to play out the way you want. We had that feeling on Friday morning after the Kraken skated at Climate Pledge Arena in preparation for their game against the electric Edmonton Oilers. ...
Earlier this season, we heard Seattle Kraken players say—after several of their hard-fought regulation losses—that good teams find ways to get points out of tight games. On Wednesday, the Kraken did do just that, even as they fell behind the Detroit Red Wings in the...
As the Kraken were taking their second regulation road loss in as many nights Tuesday, this one a 4-2 loss at the hands of the New Jersey Devils, their home arena opened its doors to the public for the first time, welcoming concertgoers for an evening with the Foo...
