The Seattle Kraken are absolutely rolling right now and it’s incredible to see. After a dreadful 1st season last year, this year they have adopted and identity that has brought them together as a hockey team. We take a look at why the Kraken have been so good this year with the roster that they have.

I mean, Columbus isn't mathematically eliminated from playoff contention yet, so I could see a Blue Jackets v Kraken final on the horizon.
Seattle sweep Buffalo 4-0 in Stanley Cup Finals, Brandon Tanev wins the Conn Smythe.
RIGGED
Seattle wins in game 7 against the Toronto Maple Leafs.. OT winner from Leaf legend Jared McCan!
Always love how you actually break it down instead of giving an opinion. Great Video.
Kraken beat the Habs with Shane Wright being conn smythe winnerr😅
Is it a crazy idea to believe that Seattle being that poor was due to terrible goaltending and possibly a fluke? I'm surprised that they are this good, but I expected a major jump in progression and possibly a fight for a playoff spot.
Can't wait to see this age like milk
id say they are 100% a playoff team, i just dont know if they would go deep into the playoffs is what i would of said if they didnt shutout the bosten bruins (a team who never lost a game in regulation on their home ice)
To be fair they play in an awful division
We ll take Larsson back please take Nurse
First round the Kraken eliminate the Predators in 7 games. GWG from Tolvanen.
Quite interesting case study
Great video! It's been fun watching the Kraken this year. They really are a gritty team, that plays simple fun hockey! It is also awesome having an NHL relatively close to AK! New fav team for sure.
The Jets are surprising everyone but nobody cares..
I think I've seen it explained best in that the kraken have three second lines and a third line. The lines slot in and out like cogs in a machine and keep things going at almost a relentless pace, suffocating teams in their own zone for the majority of games.
Nhl is just squeezing money where ever they can find it. Every company out there is taking a hit. Nhl is just tapping into the Seattle market to boost revenues. Only 16 teams have the chance to break even in the playoffs. Season tickets are cheap, playoffs tickets can only go up in value.
Their advanced stats tell another story. I have no doubt they will hit a wall soon. It's like when the Devils we're losing non stop to start the season and their stats showed that they SHOULD be winning, then right after becoming a contender for top in the metro.
As a Bs fan I'm conflicted. Happy for them and would rather take the first home L to the Kraken vs the Leafs (the home loss was going to go to one of them). However I do think the game is getting blown out of proportion a little bit… like all I've seen is Kraken news since that game. They definitely seem playoff ready but I am almost certain the Kraken will not be able to beat a team like the Bs, Lightning, Leafs, Canes, Stars in a full playoff series. We'll see though. Interested to see if I'll be wrong… They certainly deserve respect.
Tampa or even better yet Toronto vs. Seattle with Seattle winning in 5
There are 20 teams doing better than last year's number 1 team, it's not surprising in a parity league. That's what makes it so hard to support the NHL anymore, they're all losers now. 1 in 32 chance of winning the cup, it's not enough.
Vegas as the first expansion team?!🤣
Vegas, first ever expansion team? REALLY?
I was surprised with Seattles speed, they kept it up for the entire game against Boston. Boston will outlast you, Seattle was determined to battle for ever possession with their speed and it worked great for them in the end.
The Kraken this season feel like what the Islanders were 2 seasons ago
I think they are a playoff team. Vegas 1st year team was better because some of there cast-off really just needed a chance minutes. Marcheseault, Reilly Smith, & Karlson all should've been playing regularly on other teams but for whatever reason weren't. Hakstol has got his boys to buy in and if you can play together you can beat a lot of "teams" who forget that's how they got there themselves.
Funny how Ron Francis modeled them after his time with the canes, and now both are top teams in the league
As a Bruins Fan, was very impressed by the Kraken!
Ton of picks, cap space, a great farm system already and there playing great unselfish hockey. They’re a force right now
