New Week, New Kraken?

It was the best of times! Seattle Kraken fans were excited about the return of their beloved hockey team. A new intro video, a new blue-chip rookie. What could go wrong?

If you read Kraken Twitter, you might be inclined to believe Dooms Day is upon us. Locked on Kraken host Erica L. Ayala does her best to offer some perspective. She discusses the plan (question mark) for Shane Wright, what the Seattle defense needs to do against Carolina's free-wheeling offense, and more.
