The Amazing Kraken! First huge upset, the Avs, ranked #1. Second upset pending, the Stars, ranked #2.
(Oh, and the Hurricanes are having quite a playoff streak. But, this is a Kraken post.)
Kraken! Kraken! Kraken!
(not just for the Pacific NW)

(Todd, the Kraken are a hot, hot, hot new trio specializing in harmonic nose flutes)

I have no idea what you are talking about but it’s nice to see you so happy about something that doesn’t involve trombones.

I too, have no idea what Epaul is blathering on about, but since it apparently has a PNW connection, must be about a new Seafood restaurant. Or wine.

Are krakens those fried pork skins I see in the liquor store?
I don’t think I could ever eat those.

Hint: They're still playing hockey.

Too early for this. I could have sworn the subject line of this thread read: KAREN! KAREN! KAREN!
My copy editing skills are honed to a fine edge.

Yes, that worked out pretty darn well. The worm might be turning in Chicagoland. Da Bears are looking golden, and now here come the Blackhawks. Not to mention all the brewpubs, open mics, and pickleball courts. Looking good, Chicago!

Well, the Kraken took it on the chin last night, so that series is even.
I love the Stanley Cup playoffs, and I am watching as much as I can.
Will Florida complete the sweep tonight? They sure are playing great hockey right now. I think the Stars will eventually eliminate the Kraken, and I think Carolina eliminates the Devils in their next game. The really fun series right now is Edmonton vs Vegas.

Ironic.
I posted this as gesture of sporting fellowship with our two Pacific NW residents by joining them in celebrating the young Krakens early and unexpected playoff success... and neither has even heard of them.
Oh well. Rick, a little support here?

OK, since they don't care...
Go Stars! A powerful, balanced, four line team built to take it all (with a great goaltender from Lakeville, Minnesota, Jake Oettinger).
(but, it is always fun when an underdog makes an unexpected run. Only their mothers expected the Kraken to beat the Avs.)
- Ken, if you're here, sorry about the Lighting. (But, that team has paid its fans several years' worth of fan dividends!).

I’m currently interested in the Portland Thorns, the women’s soccer team. I don’t follow sports, but I like their “away” jerseys.

Well, the Leafs finally won one. I think it just delays the inevitable, though.
I won't stay up late enough to watch the Oilers and Golden Knights. I love watching McDavid and Draisaitl, though. I hope they win tonight.

The Kraken's backs are against the wall. They need every NW Pacifican in their corner chanting "Kraken, Kraken, Kraken" when the puck drops Saturday night.

I think you have to treat Kraken like octopus. Boil or steam it, for just a bit, then grill it for a hint of char around the edges. Then served it with a light lemon butter sauce. But beware, if you over cook it, it can become tough.
