While we’re aware of some fishy rumors surrounding our team name, please rest assured we’re doing our due diligence by scouring the depths of the ocean, the tallest mountains, and the densest parts of the forest to find the right name for our great, green city.

Hence my question mark. I think it would be a cool name though.

I’m going to say you should be brought to justice.

Not a huge Kraken fan although, admittedly, I don't care what they name them. It would be cool if they took the Thunderbirds from the local WHL team. I liked the Sockeyes or the Evergreens suggestions too. I'd put the Kraken and Totems in my bottom tier of preference. Metropolitans would probably be in the middle tier. Nobody wants to be associated with the NY Mets, but otherwise it's a fine name.

You know how you tell me all the time that the cap is no big deal and I shouldn't worry about the cap?

What's to get angry about? Every team plays the same amount of games 82 in the same 6 month period. You honestly think the Isles are the only team with a heavy second half schedule?
- Vukota


Just happens every year to us... we always have tons of games in hand and they have an absurd schedule to catch up right before the end of season. We always seem to have guys get hurt in this insane stretch too... right before the playoffs. Lost Hamonic one year, Lee, etc. It's just absurd that it happens every year.

Have to defend chief. Hiring Gallant would make sense.

In regards to the Kraken name I would be shocked if they did not go with the former team name that won a cup already.. Metropolitans.
