THE Kraken Pod: a Seattle Kraken and NHL podcast The Hockey Podcast Network

As Jackie Moon aka Will Ferrell once famously shouted when a bear got loose in the middle of a basketball game: "EVERYBODY PANIC!" This week's Kraken Reaction (5:32) has Jeff immediately asking Joey if he has hit the panic button yet now that November 24th has passed. Joey gives his answer companied with an in-depth breakdown of why he feels the way that he does before the boys break down last week's games against the San Jose Sharks, Vancouver Canucks back at Climate Pledge Arena, and last night's game against the Chicago Blackhawks. Next, in NHL News, Jeff and Joey summarize the origin of the Corey Perry rumors that lit the hockey world on fire, why Connor Bedard's mom got involved, and how the Chicago Blackhawks handled it as an organization which initially only led to more speculation across the NHL. Jeff talks about the signing of Patrick Kane to the Detroit Red Wings, what he can bring to that roster, as well as a history of why he's a problematic figure in the world of hockey that few teams were willing to touch. Jeff also has a conspiracy theory that involves the league and Gary Bettman intentionally drumming up controversy to remain at the forefront of sporting world news. No Dumb Questions (1:12:28) features longtime member of the Kraken Pod Fam Michelle T asking what shooting percentage is and how it's calculated which leads to a few variables that many might not know. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from Jeff's secret not-so-secret affinity for Hallmark Christmas movies, an epic Thanksgiving holiday, water fasting for 5 days, Christmas in New Orleans, why buying a house (fingers crossed) sucks, and Joey getting his hands on a pair of very limited sneakers while hanging out with an NBA superstar. Ending, as always, with the Chirp of the Week.

4 to 3, across the board, all week. Jeff and Joey discuss how tired they are after watching the Seattle Kraken have their 8th game of the season go into overtime after the squad once again had a late lead and why that's been impacting Kraken Pod After Dark. This week's Kraken Reaction (2:50) covers the brutal meltdown to the Edmonton Oilers, why Joey is cautious after taking care of the New York Islanders at home, building moments in a massive win at Rogers Arena against the Vancouver Canucks, and why in the hell the Seattle Kraken cannot take care of the Calgary Flames at Climate Pledge Arena. Philipp Grubauer has to exit last night's game after an apparent injury, and Vince Dunn remans hot with 7 points in his last 7 games, but the team is still struggling to find its identity and consistency, currently sitting in the second Wild Card spot despite being under .500 on the season so far. Joey's panic button date is still intact as his clock on the Seattle Kraken's 2023-2024 season is ticking. In NHL News: it is being reported that in 2024 we will see the return of the All-Star Fantasy Draft. Joey utilizes this as an excuse to ask what is the All-Star Fantasy Draft for this week's No Dumb Questions (34:04) and the boys go into a debate on whether or not this will be good for the league moving forward. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from reflection and gratitude for Thanksgiving, Jeff's runner's high, buying a house, pumpkin beer and seasonal drinking, drum lessons, and much more. Ending, as always, with the Chirp of the Week.

Buckle up, folks. This one gets a little heated. Fresh off an absolute beatdown at the hands of the Colorado Avalanche, Jeff and Joey immediately go into this week's Kraken Reaction (2:38) which features: the return of Turbo, how the Seattle Kraken can never seem to get any momentum going, Grubauer's contract, and what changes have to be made before the two disagree on the trajectory of the team and whether or not the Seattle Kraken should name a Captain. Jeff Lasso and Joey "The Realist" go head to head in a discussion about what Ron Francis and Dave Hakstol should do regarding the underperforming squad before another conversation is had around whether or not Dave Hakstol has lost the locker room after his "shoot the f*****g puck" message falls on deaf ears. Next, in NHL News: Shane Wright is out on Team Canada and a particular series in Sweden has caught the attention of Jeff. For No Dumb Questions (57:09), member of the Kraken Pod Fam, Carly from Idaho is back this week with another question around why penalties in the league can be delayed. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from mushroom chocolates to Jeff being a rockstar Dad, Shrimp & Mirliton Dressing, running a 5K on Thanksgiving, trolling Las Vegas Golden Knights and Avs fans on Twitter (X), and much more. Ending, as always, with the Chirp of the Week.

Oh no, we suck again! The good vibes are being tested after the Kraken lose to Arizona in another shootout while Jeff remains optimistic. This week's Kraken Reaction (3:08) covers what went right in the home game against the Nashville Predators, how the boys can no longer refer to the Calgary Flames as a trash team after they throttle the Kraken, and how the Arizona Coyotes spoil Joey Daccord coming home to Arizona State by handing the Kraken another predictable shootout loss at Mullet Arena. Joey has looked ahead at the schedule and has officially picked a panic button date for the Seattle Kraken and also discussed how Jaden Schwartz has been and continues to be his dark horse candidate for team MVP for 2023-2024. In NHL News, the toothless Sharks finally get their first win and Mason Lohrei, a Louisiana native, becomes the first Louisianan to put on skates in the NHL for the Boston Bruins meanwhile the Edmonton Oilers are in a crisis and have placed Campbell on waivers and the boys discuss whether or not they are going to catch Edmonton at the wrong time when they host them in Seattle this week. No Dumb Questions (46:00) has members of the Kraken Pod Fam Carly asking whether or not a goalie's save percentage is impacted during an empty net and how those stats are tracked. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from South Beach, birthday dinners, a fight breaking out at a children's soccer game, gumbo, Thanksgiving, wine delivery, and much more. Ending, as always, with the Chirp of the Week.
