    UP WE GO! Kraken Reaction: the improbable point streak, Grubi apology? and Joey recaps Seattle. 3 Stars of the Week.

    New year, New Kraken! Joey returns from Washington and the boys get right into it for this week's Kraken Reaction which features the improbable point streak, biggest takeaways and highlights from the current Seattle Kraken heater, Berkeley Catton's 1st (and 2nd) career NHL goals, goalie play, and much more. Speaking of goalie play...Jeff once again has gone controversial on socials with his take on Grubauer and the two have to discuss what exactly is going on with Philipp Grubauer and why he's so polarizing for this franchise. Three Stars of the Week has Jeff dabbling into TV and movies on airplanes and with no sound as the good lord intended, Joey starting off the new year seeking to make some changes, and FINALLY a recap of his trip home to Washington after 8 years, his experience at Climate Pledge Arena, Matty Beniers being inches away from a hatty, Argentinian steakhouses, time with the family, and everything in-between. Ending, as always, with the Chirp of the Week. 01:13 The boys are back 03:51 Kraken Reaction Subscribe: -On All podcasting apps.
