[BarDownBobo]

So who are we sacrificing to the Kraken?

Safest bet right now is Jones.

So who are we sacrificing to the Kraken?

And will they be Kraken the opening lineup?

It's more of a Seattle thing than a Seahawks thing.

The Seahawks, Thunderbirds and Sounders all use the green and blue theme.

Maybe they didn't want to use green because then their colours would be too similar to the Canucks?

I liked Sockeyes better. Kraken to me sounds childish, I have trouble taking it seriously.

The jerseys and logo are good though not overly exciting and the colour scheme works. However, they're certainly not as good as the Golden Knights jerseys and logo.

as a Sounders fan, I said right from the start that I’d be supporting them (obviously not when they play us) when they came into the league, but the Kraken name might change that. I love the logo, and the jerseys look pretty dman nice (although they need green), but the Kraken is a ridiculous name that never had any business being in the discussion. It’s what a focus group of 10 year olds would come up with

I don't mind them doing their own thing rather than following along with what the rest of the city's teams are doing.

it’s not the city’s other teams. It’s the city itself. They’re the emerald city.

Great Nurse is injured it seems. Skated off awkwardly

 

[McTonyBrar]

And now he’s back omg F**** Rishaug

I was expecting some salmon to be integrated into the jersey. Something like this:

They have the space needle in there though.

Just like yesterday, Rishaug creams his pants and can't wait to tweet about an injury instead of just taking a few minutes.

Again, who cares? Toronto's team isn't named after smoke or pigs. the Penguins aren't named after steel. Chicago isn't named after wind. They're not the New York Pies.

Broberg with Bouchard. Looks like Lagesson getting a little bump or something.

 

[joestevens29]

I didn't buy anything, too many options. Such an odd store though. Ray Ban/Oakley/other sunglasses, Oiler stuff, lots of saxx, other misc shirts. Then there is coffee, beard shit, hair shit, soap etc..

I like those kids of oddball stores

 

[Paralyzer008]

Despite what Dave Tippett said on Tuesday, Evan Bouchard is now doing PK drills.

He was held out of them before.

Broberg Bouchard would be great in the AHL together.

@Cloned

Would you like the jersey with green accents as opposed to red?

Much better. Looks more like a pro jersey, less like a EASHL/ECHL jersey.

 

[Drivesaitl]

I thought you would like it...

I'm getting my game face on. Don't mess with it.

Gonna be easy to hate these upstarts. Scram kids, get outta my conference...

At least its named after rum. But kind of a shitty one. The rum is generic as the logo and uniform.

how am I doing with the trash talking?

maybe a 4, I'm rusty as old bent barn nails

I don't mind Kraken rum, but after your recommendations, Old Port and Baron Samedi are now my go tos.

I'm guessing for playoffs, a coach would perfer a more seasoned prospect. Jones and Lagesson are at the age where either they make it or the NHL career is in doubt. Hockey is a game more about consistency than about displaying skill (consistency comes first), so even if Broberg and Bouchard are more skilled, the mature prospects would be the better bet.

the plan for Bouchard was to be fully graduated starting next season. That low stakes time of the early season makes a lot more sense to start his full career, rather than being thrown into the fire in the playoffs.

Glad you like those. Good price, can't go wrong. Picked up a Caymen Reef on sale at Wine and Beyond. Nice smooth, reasonable price for those that don't like the dark or amber stuff as much. Caymen 5 yr old if you're interested. Reasonable mixer.

I'm always glad to steer people away from the Lambs and Bacardi type stuff. Kraken is a step above that, barely. Kind of high on the molasses taste and not a lot else going on. I like subtle or more overtones, thus Baron Samedi being decent.

I might give it a shot. I wasn't much a fan of the Gold Seal you recommended though. Is Caymen closer to Gold Seal or the other two.

I don't mind it for molotovs.




disclaimer; strictly jk.


but....what kind of lambs. Don't say white, you'll be drinking that horrid Malibu in no time. girly drinks..

Caymen Reef is closer to Amrut Old port I would say. Its an amber. Its aged, goes down smooth. Has a cork top which is kind of a nice touch. I just bought it because it was discounted tbh. But I'd buy another at same price 28bucks. if its back to 39 definitely I go with Baron Samedi instead. Can't go wrong there.

Haha it’s dark rum. My father in law always makes me one when I visit the farm. Lambs has really grown on me.
