And in the western conference where parity is the paradigm, they could actually advance. Good luck, sea monsters!

[cascadetraverser]

They are playing pretty well; Facing either Dallas or Colorado is a daunting task though. Go Kraken!!

[Slugman]

Kraken win! The defending champion Avalanche come crashing to earth.

I predict a lot of Seattle babies being named Philipp (or Philippa) the goalie is a god among men. A good game though

[Slugman]

Kraken win in overtime!

[bccarlso]

What a game! Didn't think we'd pull it out honestly. Awful hit from Makar on McCann. At least he gets a 1 game suspension, more than I thought they'd give him.

[Slugman]

Kraken win again! Holy cow. The next game in Seattle is going to be insane.

I generally have zero interest in team sports, but since I used to ice skate I can appreciate the skill involved in hockey. But I rarely watch it or follow teams. I was very surprised to hear that Kraken made the playoffs since they're such a brand-new team. How's that possible??

Kraken wins 2-1'!!!!!!!!!!!

[JimK]

Avalanche scored the tying goal and Seattle challenged it and won. And won the game.

[Malachai Constant]

They were clearly offsides but someone on the Kraken has really good eyes.

[Slugman]

Kraken win! Holy moly, what a game. #8 conference seed takes out #2. I’d say that’s rare but it happened in the other conference too.

[Leafguy]

Wow! Avs and Bruins both get eliminated. Go Kraken. (And the Maple Leafs of course)

Playoff hockey is sure enough 100 proof hard liquor. Everyone has a grudge against everyone else. Now that the arrogant Colorado fans have been silenced, except for the weeping, I need to see Dallas humbled! Need! Not want. In hockey, teams don’t win so much as they force the other team to lose, often by near-criminal violence. (Written the other day. Today’s comment follows): Ha! Kraken win! Dallas fans can eat it!

[simont]

A really solid effort. i like their chances going forward.
