2025-2026 NHL Offseason

F Me In The Brain

I wonder how they are going to deal with the players and the fact that without fans you could possibly hear a lot of what they say on the ice.

I'm dying to hear some red ass tear into the refs - Sidney Crosby comes to mind.  He takes a penalty or a non call in a big spot.  The F bombs will be flying.

Or all the other players calling Crosby well “another way to call a cat a kitten” with props to Naughty by Nature

This could be some funny stuff!

I am hearing Toronto and Edmonton will be the hub cities, if they resume play.

can not understand why no US cities...

I heard that too, along with the thought that maybe a spike of COVID in Vegas doomed their chances.  I had heard before that the NHL wanted to target Canada because operations are less expensive (not sure how true that is).

No US cities because we have been like a third world country in dealing with the Pandemic.  All these countries are going to have sports operating Looooong before we do.  People lack intelligence, you cant have nice things.

Let’s welcome The Seattle Kraken to the NHL

I know it's not spelled the same, but if they don't incorporate Big Ern McCraken in some way, I think that's a big loss.

Nah, its hockey, you need Tim McCracken:

You see the other horrible names that were on the slate?

Been waiting 40 years for a team here. We finally have a name. I didn't care what it was at some point, just wanted the team and the name. so we're the Kraken. That makes us Krakheads. And I suppose our arena will be known as the Krakhouse. But I'm all in!

F Me In The Brain

Hahaha.  The Krakhouse.

I like The Krakens.

When I first saw the news on my phone I thought it said "Seattle has a Hockey team, welcome the Karens"...

I thought, shit that's bold, even for Seattle!

Their logo is pretty cool (as displayed in your avatar)

i don't mind the name but not a fan of the color scheme.  multiple shades of blue...ugly.  And every team seems to have dark blue/black anymore.  how many times will we hear 'release the kracken?'
