Seattle Kraken hockey is back! Jeff and Joey pound coffee and break down what went right and what went wrong with last night's game against the Colorado Avalanche. How Grubauer needs help from the team in order to stay hot, the fans singing along to Blink 182, McCann firing a laser from the boards, and what the hell is the difference between a deflection and a kicked puck are all discussed. The boys' go on to discuss Mardi Gras and explain why they've been eating so much King Cake, how they should plan a trip to Dallas to catch the Kraken face off against the Stars, and exactly what Mardi Gras Krewes are composed of and how it all ties into Mardi Gras Day. The boys also break down the comping road swing against the Dallas Stars and St. Louis Blues followed by the upcoming home games at Climate Pledge Arena versus the LA Kings and Chicago Blackhawks. Jeff segways into trade rumors and the possibility of dealing Mark Giordano and Chris Driedger is discussed before they go into #NoDumbQuestions which covers the +/- statistic in the NHL and exactly how relevant it is in the game which gives Joey an excuse to bring up Felix Hernandez and the Seattle Mariners after somehow thinking he saw a stat that showed Vladimir Tarasenko of the St. Louis Blues having a +/- of +150 on the season. Last, Hockey History with Jeff has him breaking down just how many international players we see in the NHL today, how that is drastically different from what the landscape looked like as early as two decades ago, and the story of Alexander Mogilny - a Russian hockey player who defected to the United States and risked his life to play in the NHL and why the "Miracle on Ice" in the 1980 Winter Olympics when the United States defeated the Soviet Union was such a big deal for the sport.
