Seattle Kraken

Yea, Joey between the pipes ain’t the problem.

Joyless is a great way to describe this team. A negative vibe just permeates the ice when these guys are going. Maybe the new signings aren’t the kind to get the team up. Maybe the coaches aren’t the kind to get the team up. But damn, somebody needs to do it.

Gru was their big miss that first year. It was a good shot, worth the risk. Misses happen and you hope that someone like Joey can magically appear and fix it.

It just feels like regression from last year, which felt like regression from the year before. Nobody stays the same (except the LA Kings), you’re either going up or you’re going down. I don’t think there’s any mistaking which way the Kraken are going.

This season is burnt. The offseason needs to see either a rebuild or a serious move to improve across the entire organization.
