THE Kraken Pod: a Seattle Kraken and NHL podcast

Jeff and Joey recap the first four games of the 2021-2022 season, where the Kraken stand within the Pacific Division, and provide an (entirely too early) outlook on the season based off of what they've seen from the team so far. Joey professes his love for Brandon Tanev before sharing a story about a weekend spent drinking vodka in New Orleans with 2x Stanley Cup Champion Dustin Penner which leads to them hypothesizing on why hockey players can put down more booze than the average human. Next, Jeff believes that opposing teams and fans will find ways to use Climate Pledge Arena as a way to knock the Seattle Kraken but is able to flip that around on them before Joey shares an idea for the home ice goal horn and song for the team that he came across on a Reddit message board. In Hockey History, Jeff shares the origins of The Legend of the Octopus and why throwing them on the ice in Detroit at Joe Louis Arena for Red Wings games when he was a kid was for good luck in the playoffs and how the Rat Trick in Florida for Panthers games came about. Last, Jeff explains to Joey the difference between a forecheck and a cross-check and how penalties are called differently in the NHL playoffs versus the regular season.

Jeff and Joey introduce themselves and share how their lives intersect with the world of Hockey before Jeff explains how the NHL moving to ESPN is a big deal for the sport and the Seattle Kraken's immediate popularity. Next, Jeff breaks down the Pacific Division before sharing his admiration for Seattle Kraken GM and NHL legend, Ron Francis. The Seattle Kraken roster is broken down and Joey shares his research into some of his standout players from pre-season who he believes will quickly become fan favorites ranging from Philipp Grubauer to Mark Giordano and Jordan Eberle. Next, Jeff explains lines and line shifts before Joey brings up the health of Yanni Gourde coming off of a shoulder surgery after winning the Stanley Cup with the Tampa Bay Lightning and how that will impact the Kraken's roster moving forward. Joey brings up the Seattle Kraken fanbase and how the excitement around the team and Climate Pledge Arena is just as much of an integral part of the team's success this year as the players and coaching staff. Last, Jeff strongarms Joey into joining his 20-year long fantasy hockey league to help him learn the game before the start of the 2021-2022 season before explaining what constitutes a point in the NHL and breaking down the top 5 hockey players of all time and why Wayne Gretzky is the ultimate GOAT.
