The Seattle Kraken are spiraling and it's time we take a pause from focusing on the games to talk about the big picture of the organization. In this week's Kraken Reaction: it's DEAL OR NO DEAL! Joey has hand-selected four different topics: Spronger's comments to the media, Seattle Kraken President and CEO Tod Leiweke voluntarily joining the team on the road, reports of Will Borgen requesting a trade, and a front office riff within the organization that may have impacted who the current head coach of the team is - and he's makes Jeff choose and explain whether it's a deal, or no deal at all. Brace yourselves, this is a conversation that has been in the making for quite some time now. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from Joey rewatching Mindhunter to kid's basketball, Sam Darnold shitting the bed, Jeff's love of sports documentaries, the Detroit Lions, and how Spencer Pratt is single-handedly saving TikTok and taking over social media.
