#SeaKraken

Big cheer by the #SeaKraken fans for Anze Kopitar taking a final goodbye after the game.

They know this is the last time for a real great one.

The Seattle Kraken have been defeated by the Los Angeles Kings.

Final score:
Kings 5
#SeaKraken 3

And that'll be a wrap for the home games for 2025-2026.

Kings score on the empty netter to give them a 5-3 lead with 1.6 seconds left.

#SeaKraken

Vince Dunn is boxed for tripping, seriously putting a damper in the #SeaKraken comeback hopes.

Seattle! Kraken! GOAL!!

Bobby McMann, the greatest player in NHL history, is set up beautifully by Matty Beniers to make this a one-goal game!

#SeaKraken

We heard Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” on Women in Hockey Night (I think on the organ? I’m trying to remember) but I don’t think we’ve heard it otherwise.

Until tonight, that is.

#SeaKraken

It's Anze Kopitar's final game of his career in Seattle and he gives the Kings a two-goal lead when he sets up Adrian Kempe on the two-on-one.

#SeaKraken

DJ Cide knows exactly what he's doing and I love it

We're getting some different Blink-182 these last couple of games and I am not mad about it. All the Small Things obviously a classic, but last game we got What's My Age Again and The Rock Show; tonight First Date played over a "thank you to the fans" montage.

#SeaKraken

Music we don’t usually hear:

“Pour Some Sugar on Me” by Def Leppard

#SeaKraken

Seattle Kraken GOAL!

The #SeaKraken's forecheck is more like a fivecheck and Kaapo Kakko finds Freddy Gaudreau for the goal to pull within one!

They put a black cat on the screen to curse the other goalie with “What’s New Pussycat,” which is 3-0 this season in breaking shutouts.

#SeaKraken

Seattle! Kraken! GOAL!!

The fans won't be shut out tonight! Adam Larsson's shot looks like it hit SOMETHING. Maybe it'll be credited to Jaden Schwartz, but regardless it's a #SeaKraken goal!

One final colors hoisting.
One final Kraken releasing.

And the final period at CPA this season is

under
way!

#SeaKraken

After two, the #SeaKraken trail by three.

Well, we've had some good shifts, but one of these teams is desperate for a playoff spot and the other team is playing for draft position.

3-0 Kings
2nd int.

LA with a good shift and the pressure gets through with Trevor Moore scoring.

I think a Kings fan thought it was Byfield because there was a hat on the ice. Or maybe they were just like "hats off to you, Trevor Moore!"

We will never know.

#SeaKraken

Will the #SeaKraken come back from two goals down? Is that even what we want?

And the second period is

under
way

After one, the #SeaKraken trail by two.

Quinton Byfield has both goals, both unassisted, both on odd-man rushes. Kraken have had some good net front pressure, but have been unable to stuff anything home.

2-0 Kings
1st int.

Eeli Tolvanen has been boxed for tripping and Seattle's league-worst PK (by a tenth of a %) will attempt to stem the bleeding.

#SeaKraken

If you are a "not wanting Quinton Byfield to score a second unassisted goal this game" enthusiast, I have terrible news for you. Puck takes a bad hop over Lindgren's stick, leading to a breakaway and a two-goal LA lead.

#SeaKraken

Jacob Melanson and Samuel Helenius aren’t done brouhahaing, having been released from the penalty box and going right back at it

#SeaKraken

Jacob Melanson and Samuel Helenius engage in mutual brouhahaing and both receive two minutes for roughing. Guess they didn't feel it was a fight. We play 4-on-4 for the next bit.

#SeaKraken

Hell yeah we’ve got some Britney tonight

#SeaKraken

Oooo the crowd is extra zazzed tonight here at CPA

Quinton Byfield opens the scoring for the Kings on a two-on-one. Wasn't sure if that was a goal realtime and I thought it hit the crossbar, but it definitely was a goal.
