I prefer to live in the world where the Kraken were dominating and up 1-0

Didn't really have time to write it up so I'll post it. Flying somewhat under the radar in Red Wings news is the fact that Lucas Raymond's development is on par with some notable elite wingers.

He's in year 1 of an 8 year deal and he's just 22 years old

Derek Torstenson holds a sign in favor of trans rights while people hold signs that say "stop transing gay kids" behind him as the U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments over an appeal by U.S. President Joe Biden's administration of a lower court's decision upholding a Republican-backed ban in Tennessee on gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors, outside the court in Washington, U.S., December 4, 2024.

Scenes from outside of SCOTUS this AM as ppl rallied during an appeal on a Republican-backed ban in Tennessee on gender-affirming medical care for trans minors. Chase Strangio, the first openly trans person to argue at the court was enthusiastically received by the crowd afterwards. #LGBTQ #PJ

Eeli Tolvanen is not on the Finnish 🇫🇮 #4Nations roster.

It's looking likely that no Kraken players will be in the tournament.

😒🤦🏽

Suddenly it feels like a good time to have a statistically notable pain tolerance

I would say I'm shocked that more women - specifically Black women - have not been included in this hiring cycle in the #WNBA or even rumored as much

But that would be a lie

Depending how things shake out in Seattle, the league could be without at least *one* for the first time since 2009

Happy game day, y’all! #Seakraken face the Carolina Hurricanes tonight—big game in need of a big win. LFG!

Burakovsky, Sprong are healthy scratches.

Ryker Evans dealing with an injury and won't play tonight. No formal designation from coach.

Matty told me he "loves" that he's playing alongside Yanni-- said Yanni can support him at center and brings obvious grit, especially on the wall.

Kraken coach Dan Bylsma says an update is expected from the team later today regarding Jordan Eberle, so stay turned.

Also said defenseman Vince Dunn will go on the road trip to continue practicing with the team ahead of a possible return late next week.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Happy birthday, Junior!

A big win on a special night 💜

THAT’S HOW YOU END A HOMESTAND

Our key Kraken player to watch tonight is Daniel Sprong. "Spronger" had a breakout season with Seattle in 2022-23 setting career highs in nearly every offensive category. Sprong has five points (4g/1a) in nine career games against Nashville.

Occupational pro-tip: any time a colleague needlessly mentions AI in a conversation, just reply quizzically but with sincerity “Allen Iverson?”

Happy game day, folks! LFG!

Thanks Wes! Haha all good, I feel it. Thought I heard my name a few times here or there, too, but I’m also a bit hard of hearing. Spent a lot of the day like this

Thanks CSSmin! Love the community that we’re building across the interwebs.

Many of you will know our lead photographer, Liv Lyons!

Follow her on here to see her great work, whether it’s for us, the Kraken as their team photo editor, or so many other amazing ventures she’s part of in her wonderful journey!
