Le Seattle Kraken a fait ses débuts avec une nouvelle intro d’avant-match lors de leur match de la LNH contre les Kings de Los Angeles le 15 janvier 2022.
I still want Jimi Hendrix to play the National Anthem via hologram. The mascot named "Dangle" and her little son "Greasy" who's always into mischief.
I can appreciate the hard work. But a reference to KING 5 news??? Seriously? A deadliest catch intro??? A few references of Washington towns and such??? I don't know man. I am trying to see how it gets me pumped for a hockey game. I feel like it's B roll that anyone would come up with. I feel like a scene of a boat in rough water and a handful of Seattle references is great, but I just didn't feel it, and being a Seattleite all my life, that I feel is something. Maybe if I go to a game I'll feel differently. Problem is disabled vets don't make that kind of money.
I love the Kraken. I got some Kraken gear right away and have followed them the entire time. Way before we were announced as an NHL franchise. I'd follow and read anything I could get my hands on. I got an espn subscription, only to find out the games are blacked out.
And while I am at it…IT IS NOT "SEATOWN"!!! I understand all the transplants call it that. Good for them. But is it REAL Seattle??? Nopers, it's not. John Forsland especially. I am talking directly to you! Stop with the "Seatown", seriously. It's not a thing. It's "bro culture" speak and they are not Seattleites. It's a smaller segment of first and second generation transplants for outside the state. That's it. Nobody else. Certainly not actual Seattleites born and raised.
I mean we got folks in their towers complaining about how the lights on the Great Wheel are always on and blocks their view at night. I swear, it was in the "Rant/Rave" paper column. To which I thought "Ummm…What view? It's night." and "Are you kidding me?" Chances are good the Wheel was there before your tower. And even if it isn't. It's nighttime. Also? We can bring the viaduct back for ya if you want something to actually complain about?
It's not SEATOWN and never has been and never will no matter how hard John Forsland tries to fit in and sound hip. John, be careful of the company you keep. They may be imposters and posers.
Am an Islanders/Canucks fan but that is definitely IMAX/Dolby Cinema quality right there! What a pregame intro like no other! Definitely want to check out Climate Pledge Arena someday! Good luck to Kraken Nation!

Love the intro! Gonna miss Josh Hunter as the PA announcer but his replacement does sound great!

What a production, now get some performance on the ice and the DEEP will rise up !!

Must have gotten some ideas when they played Dallas. Lol
More tentacles would be nice
I didn't think anyone had the balls to take what we did with the Knights and not only double the length, but the production quality.
Seeing this live is amazing!
I want to go to a kraken game so bad
When I first heard this nickname, I nodded soberly. "Yes."
No Liam Neeson…release the Kraken?
That intro is absolutely incredible.
Absolutely brutal wow
Goosebumps

They really need to play that clip right before the boys come out
One of my top10 fav teams
That was really well done.
