Nice job putting this together, BBB. Hope this first story of yours on this site is not also your last story on this site.

Even though the Pittsburgh Penguins will always be my hockey team, I have nothing but good feelings for the Kraken. On and off the ice, this is a team that has done just about everything right. And the fact they didn't burst out of the gates in Year 1 the way their expansion predecessor and inevitable point of comparison Vegas did—that does them no disservice. Season 1 was a mulligan. I didn't imagine I would be saying this, but it looks like GM Ron Francis still knows how to build a winner.

As for all the Fleurys in the NHL, I'm old enough to remember Theo Fleury. But will always be partial to Marc-André.

Her point that hockey is best experienced live can't be overstated. Which kinda sucks, since it's so difficult to draw new fans into a sport that most people are gonna first experience on TV, and so likely to lost interest in, as the viewing experience doesn't do it justice. But if you can get out to a game you'll almost surely appreciate how interesting and dynamic it is. Cool too in that cheaper seats in the upper decks provide just as entertaining (arguably better) experience than those expensive & closer to the rink, as they afford a much better view of the whole rink/game as it plays out.

Hey man, be nice to Portland. They’re Southern Kraken fandom territory. Don’t want to lose those folks to the Canucks - or worse the Sharks.
