The game was televised here last night. Very happy to have been watching live as Evans got his first career goal but brutal how the 2 points got away at the end.

It seems they've taken a step back this year. It will be an iinterresting and challenging offseason.

What a brutal end to the season, damn. Just flat out not our year. But, thru thick and thin, I'll be there. Back at the arena tomorrow night.
Just honestly shocked at how bad they have looked the last couple weeks. They need to add some legit offense, and it's time to move on from Hakstol, imo.

I was hoping Vancouver would beat Edmonton, and advance toward the Finals, so as to keep alive the possibility of rioting. Oh, well...

Yep but 2 shots on net doesn't cut it. Brock Booster was out with blood clots too...Rangers Dallas final is my guess.

Back in Seattle.
I would probably not be following the Sonics closely either if they were new and completely stunk. I will go to Kraken games from time to time but wouldn't be able to dedicate enough time to watching on TV. Baseball, Hockey, & Soccer are better live IMO, while Football & Basketball are better on TV.

BUT - the Sharks now have Macklin Celebrini - who is THE TRUTH!

Brighter times ahead for the boys!

I'm also a sharks fan and Celebrini is a bright spot. It's a challenging reset. The team is still pretty awful, but does have moments. It is a come down after having teams that were interesting and mostly competitive for such a long stretch.

I didn't watch much last year, but have caught a bit this year

They seem to be learning how to win. They are close in most games until late and then usually blow it.

Celebrini is going to be a star. His vision is ridiculous. Happily, the team is really young - a bright future ahead!

I have always loved hockey. Long before the Kraken have been around. But I spent the first forty years of my life living in Canada. It is in the blood

The Kraken came out of the gate as a new franchise pretty fast, but then couldn't seem to add to their early success. Took a little wind out of the fans sails. I've got to put some of this on their roster moves and general management. They just haven't panned out in the last two or three off-seasons.
