NHL News/Notes XVIII

What is wrong with the NHL. Why do they think it's a good idea to do a super condensed season just to get 82 games. I can't imagine the players association would be ok with the number of back to backs that would be ncessary.

$$$$$ is all the NHL cares about sadly...

They are trying to start as late as they can to get infections under control, and hopefully a vaccine.

The NHL gets the majority of their income from ticket sales. They cannot survive on empty arenas.

While they may want to start in November or December, they may be forced to a later start date due to medical advice/local government regulations, to allow for "full" arenas.

Don't think starting late is the issue. I think everyone agrees it should start late. Trying to force an 82 game season by condensing the schedule is the issue.

interesting to me that the NHLpa/players agreed to this. God forbid they give up some pay..

League has announce, in 47 page document, procedures for phase 4.

51 member traveling party, including coaches, trainer(s), equipment, players, social media/content creator, etc.

Announcers, media separate. Officials separate. Masks almost all the time (unless playing, broadcasting, eating/drinking).

(Players can leave secure area for say the birth of a child, but there's a "re-entry" process into the secure bubble that takes days they can't play.)

Think we know what goal horn will sound like.

Kraken eh, like the name but the logos look meh. Could have done something better. Introducing Your Seattle Kraken

 

[weastern bias]

The name Kraken is legitimately embarrassing meme tier trash, it's actually worse than Golden Knights

The logo is quite nice

The jerseys are. . . fine

 

[LeeIFBB]

logo looks like a seahorse

also looks like something that would appear dated after a while, but would be hard to alter without completely changing

 

[Mafoofoo]

Gonna be crazy to watch the refs melt down when trying to decide which team to favor during Kraken v Golden Knights games

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Eh. Seems like I am going to be in the minority but I like the logo and name a lot.

Plus it is going to be my local team as well.

 

[hohosaregood]

I actually don't like the S as the main logo. It's more of a shoulder patch kinda logo. I do like the aesthetic overall

 

[LadyStanley]

I think they will have an alternate logo showing more than just the tip of one tentacle.

But not seeing the monster gives a lot of future.

The eye makes it menacing as well.

Exactly what I thought as well.

 

[The Nemesis]

I honestly think that Seattle knocked it out of the park (or if you don't want your sports metaphors mixed, they sniped it top shelf).

Yes, the "kraken" name is silly, but better to own it than pick something boring and forgettable. The color scheme is different than anything else and the jerseys look cool. I like the red pop of the trim, but of course I also like the Sharks' orange so I know I'm in the minority there.

The logos are simple and I wish they had something a bit more ornate or logo-y for a main so that the "S" could be an alternate, I still dig the layers in it. And the anchor having that low-key Space Needle is super cool.

I'm also really happy they didn't go for some sort of faux-traditionalism 1930 retro throwback design since everyone now seems to crow that no team should've changed their look in the last 50 years. It's a unique look and I think it's going to be something popular for fans and potentially outside the direct hockey realm too.

LOL. You always makes everything sound so eloquent.

I agree with pretty much everything. I think the name Kraken just fits in our city/area. Its different. Its fun (to me). I love the logo on its own. My visual creativity/imagination is very poor so till I see the logo on the jersey, I won't be able to say if I like it there or not. Fan of the colors as well.
