    Well-known players who changed teams

    Hah -- I'd forgotten about some of these. Ken Griffey Jr. and Gary Payton, among others. A bit of an odd player/uniform trip down memory lane: 25 Athletes Who Looked Wrong in Other Uniforms

    Daccord

    Being on the east coast (among other reasons), opportunities to catch Kraken on TV are rare for me, hence yesterday's Winter Classic being my first opportunity to watch them play this season. What a thoroughly enjoying game that was -- especially watching Daccord. Just phenomenal.

    Defense

    Never would have thought that it would be painful to watch defense fielded by an undefeated Huskies' team in mid-November. Playing against several ranked teams notwithstanding -- and I think USC was ranked #20 but is now unranked. Yet Huskies give up mass yards and TDs like candy.

    NYG-MIA

    Wouldn't be surprised if this weekend's Giants-Dolphins game is another 70-20-type blow-out. Broncos D couldn't tackle. Giants D can't either.

    Peter King sure looks like a genius now

    LOB Part 2, boy was he spot on or what?

    CB: Not a big need, but will be an INSANE effect

    Some folks aren't keen on the acquisition of a CB with our first pick, saying it's not a need. Is a CB a critical need? No. BUT... is the addition of this particular player, Witherspoon, to the Seahawks' backfield likely to dramatically affect the way opposing QBs and WRs try to execute their...

    Kraken clinch 2023 Stanley Cup playoff berth!

    Pretty impressive turnaround from their first year. Didn't know 'til today that this is an NHL record for number of wins by an expansion team in its second year. And we can pad on to it yet. What would be a splendid cherry-on-top to this regular season is beating VGK at least one of the two...

    Ms aquire Solak from Reds

    Didn't see that coming -- a trade just two days into the season! Nick Solak from Reds acquired by the Ms.

    Ms vs Reds

    At the end of the 6th against the Reds, the Ms have only 17 on the board. Man, they really need to get it together!

    Panthers now hold #1

    Now that the Panthers pick first overall, who are they going to grab? Stroud?

    This team, Pac Div standings

    With the relatively recent acquisitions of Tolvanen from NSH, Borkstrand from CBJ, and Burakovsky from COL, and with Beniers playing quite well, I think the Kraken may well have hit jackpot in terms of achieving overall team chemistry. These have all proven to been sweet moves to nicely...

    Kraken @ Leafs

    Holy crap, Kraken beat a powerhouse team, the Leafs, 5-1! Was looking at this match-up the day before the game and didn't have a lot of optimism for a win, but here we are, sitting on nice little three-game win streak. Even crazier, Kraken scored 4 goals in the second period for the second...

    Looking at the remaining schedule

    We don't play the Kings again 'til April 1. Could be a big game. I do not like how we play Vegas twice back to back to finish the season, but we did beat them decisively a few weeks ago and should be able to again. We play Dallas Stars 3x in March, and we play AZ Coyotes 3x in April (all by...

    Blues & Kraken

    Another win! Now 18 on the year, way sooner than when we got 18 last year. No doubt about it, team is hugely improved. Would be sweet to finish second in the Pacific division by the end of the season. Edit: Just watched the highlights. That, was a KICK-ASS breakaway goal (and long...

    Chiefs vs Texans

    What a killer match-up! As in, Chiefs are going to murder the Texans something like 54-3.

    Two top fives

    Kraken vs Canadiens

    LOL! Shane Wright scores against the Canadiens!

    Chiefs-Chargers

    Great. Chargers probably kissed this game away with that untimely fumble in the 4th quarter.

    Kraken vs Kings

    Tonight, 7:00 p.m. Should be interesting to see how Seattle fares vs Kings (and also vs Golden Knights next week) considering they've clearly made some beneficial adjustments in the way they play in the last couple of weeks.

    Raiders-Broncos

    This weekend -- Raiders at Broncos -- two teams with similar records and similar stats on offense, but Bronco's defense is loads better than Raiders'. I think Broncos have the edge in this match-up, but Russ is so messed up and his OL is so porous that the Raiders might actually have a chance.
