SEATTLE KRAKEN HOCKEY IS BACK! Joey and Jeff get right into this week's Kraken Reaction (2:40) which covers what went right and what went wrong on opening night versus the Las Vegas Golden Knights, Grubauer's play, what Yamamoto brings to the squad, how the boys need to convert on the PP, and Brett Howden's hit on Brandon Tanev. Next, NHL news around the league has Jeff reminiscing on hockey legend Barry Melrose and what he meant to him growing up as a hockey fan and how the world will miss him as he steps away from his career to spend time with family and loved ones on the news of him having Parkinson's disease breaks. The boys talk about Connor Bedard and whether or not the expectations of him this season are fair, how he will be utilized to grow the game, his debut against the Pittsburgh Penguins, and a personal bet is made on an over/under for Bedard on the season. Gary Bettman has made a decision not to physically represent the LGBTQIA+ community in the NHL and the two discuss why the NHL would come to that decision, why it's wrong for the league and holds them back from growing the game, and much more. No Dumb Questions (58:30) has Joey breaking down what exactly is a match penalty which was given to Howden last night as Turbo struggled to get off of the ice. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from a Connor Bedard bet, Loki season 2, a bedroom remodel, the Kraken Pod's content push and YouTube page, and the Colorado Buffaloes hitting the over. Ending, as always, with the Chirp of the Week.
