Release the Show: The Seattle Kraken Podcast

In this episode, Brett and Ryan have a conversation covering various topics, starting with a playful discussion about hanging a logo on the wall and the challenges of displaying it. They then talk about Ryan's sudden excitement during the pre-show and joke about Austin Powers references, which not everyone in the group fully understands. The hosts move on to discussing hockey, focusing on the Seattle Kraken’s recent games against the Philadelphia Flyers, Calgary Flames, and Colorado Avalanche. They analyze the Kraken's performance, satisfied with their two wins and the close loss to the Avalanche.

The group discusses the concept of "response goals" in hockey, emphasizing their importance and jokingly proposing a reverse strategy of letting the opposing team score first to motivate comebacks. They reference beer league hockey and joke about unconventional sports strategies, all while keeping the conversation light and filled with banter. Toward the end, they reference the movie Seabiscuit to draw a parallel between holding back in competition and achieving a comeback victory.

Lets Go Kraken!!

Hosts Brett and Ryan Wetstein analyze the Seattle Kraken's mixed start to the season, currently holding a 2-2 record after four games. They reflect on the home opener's atmosphere, noting a lack of pre-game excitement due to the unusual afternoon timing. Ryan is disappointed with the team's performance compared to the promotional hype, drawing parallels with the Mariners and Seahawks. Hopefully the Kraken can get some bonding on the road.

They discuss assistant coach Jessica Campbell's significant role in strategic planning and in-game adjustments, particularly praising her impact on the forwards' development. They give flowers to Captain Jordan Eberle. He's a natural fit as captain!

We're excited for the team's potential and the energy at home games and won't stand for mediocrity. And what's with the Davy Jones hat moving to a new, motivational belt?! The team's identity should stem from hard work and performance rather than gimmicks, we need team spirit and accountability for a successful season!

Lets go Kraken!!

The day has come for Coach Hack to find another team and Brett, Ryan and Chris are ... actually kinda sad about it. We play a bit of our favorite game, Should They Stay or Should They Go? What kind of coach do you want to see next, and most of all, make Matty B earn his spot! Go Kraken!

It's a full Hockey show, the entire time... for real! Is there a curse of the Coyotes? Chris is back to predicting scores, Ryan wants us to keep an eye on Shane Wright, and Brett just wants to talk Mariners. Go Kraken!

Don't look now but we think the "I-5-alry" might be happening! Plus, who was your favorite 90's Seattle Weather man? We also chat about Teoscar Hernandez... wait, is this a Hockey show? The Kraken are doing well but we still find something to yell about (it's the Davy Jones hat!) We cheer for McCann and we want more lasagna for Matty B! Go Kraken!

On this episode, it's not a question anymore. We suck. We go through the season so far and try to figure out the difference from when we were winning and, well... now. The players are mad and the team seems divided. Maybe a naming Captain would help them? Plus, can we get a little excitement from the crowd? Let's see some energy all around! Go Kraken!!

What can the Kraken do to stop the Kings? Matty B needs to use the break to get some of his Mom's lasagna. Plus we're playing a quick round of Should They Stay Or Should They Go. Plus, there's nothing worse than when someone isn't calling you back.. but thats just the therapy section of the show. We need constancy, no more streaking. Go Kraken!!

The Kraken are on a cold streak, what was happening during the winning streak thats not happening now? And for that matter, why are the Kraken so streaky? We call out Matty B and Brett calls for Coach Hack to pack! Plus are hockey players really all that tough or are they too busy listening to Country music like Ryan and Chris? Looking for the bright side? There's only 4 more games until the Allstar break! Go Kraken!

The Kraken lost the streak, but they're having fun! We're playing banged up but we get a chance to start antlers win streak. Ryan has love for Dunn, Brett's into Gourde and Chris is Bjorkstrand-ing it. Plus a reenactment of what it was like when Hakstol "surprised" Bjorkstrand with the All Star news, what's your Uber rating, and can you catsup on a corndog? Go Kraken!!

The Kraken are on a hot streak, we revel in the Winter Classic glory and we exchange Gretzky stories. Plus, some Should I Stay Or Should I Go, and who do we need to sign to save the rest of the season?? Go Kraken!!
