Mostly everyone prob knows this already, but for context it’s a reference to the Pike Place fish market in Seattle

Seattle is absolute genius for the sea theme! It makes the netting around the ice seem like part of the theme and not a safety eyesore. Perfect hockey aesthetic.

This is just unfortunate. Unfortunate all around.

Did anyone else want to see a fish bounce off a head?
Players looked annoyed.

Part of me wants to think it’s stupid but the other part likes the Detroit fans throwing the octopuses or Florida throwing rats so I don’t want to he a hypocrite lol
Definitely funny either way

It’s so cool that Vegas and the Kraken brought back their vintage jerseys they wore back in the early 2020’s.

Easily best winter classic in recent years. And why are the Kraken so likable?

A lot of people here don’t seem to know this is a tribute to the very famous Pike Place fish market.
It’s right up there with the Space Needle for iconic Seattle scenes.

I’m not sure if Tanev actually thought he was going to need to dodge flying salmon pregame today. But that made me laugh!
Purple_Map_507
I thought for sure someone was going to get a fish to the face.
Side note: that kid killed it on the anthem.

Anybody else watch that just to see a player get hit with one of those lol

Remember when hockey was hockey and there were no crazy performances? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

This is the oddest thing I’ve seen in a while

One of the stupidest things ever seen in sports.

So many people in this thread are upset…it is a silly entrance, silly is fine, don’t hurt yourself complaining about it.

Best part is they infringed on a copyright for their logo and are being sued. Such a « classy » team Seattle isn’t.

People can shit on this all they want, but every major sports league has made it a point to take the fun and levity out of their respective games. The commentary around most sports sounds more like a corporate merger than a game. It’s supposed to be fun and light hearted and they should take chances like this to be campy, even if they miss, because I prefer that over content that feels like it went through 7 rounds of market testing and is so forgettable that you can reasonably say it never existed in the first place. With that spirit, I’m eagerly awaiting my Devils to one walk out to satanic priestesses tossing around the severed heads of goats or virgins.
