It's been a pretty crazy week for the Seattle Kraken, who had one of the most up-and-down road trips in recent memory. In the midst of all that, some rumors popped up about how the organization will move forward.

The Sound Of Hockey guys are here to discuss all of this, and it gets a little spicy at times. Oh, and John managed to pick two of the worst games of the season as his road trip stops, so that's kind of funny.

Segments include Down on the Farm, Weekly One-Timers, and What's Good?

The vibes are LOW right now for the Kraken and the Sound Of Hockey Podcast. But what better way to feel optimistic about the present than to think about the future?

John and Darren are back in BarrDown Studios for the first show of 2025.

After lots of Kraken talk, they move into plenty of World Junior Championship discussion and then shift to segments, which include Down on the Farm, Bad Boys, Weekly One-Timers, and What's Good?

Really fun episode.

The guys are recovering from a brutal few days of Kraken hockey, in which they lost three straight to the Ducks and Sharks but then bounced back for an impressive win over the Carolina Hurricanes.

Plenty of Seattle Kraken storylines to discuss this week as well, with Ryker Evans getting hurt, Andre Burakovsky getting scratched, and the lines getting shaken up.

SHAME! The guys made a booboo on this one, calling it Ep. 314, when it's actually 313. Oh well! It's still a great episode, with not one, but TWO interviews, one with Ben Meyers and the other with Ian Furness.

Ian has LOTS of great stories about "riding the bus" through his long career in media, which has now landed him with the Seattle Kraken.
