Great moment ruined by Leah Hextall's voice

Kraken hockey, baby. Although it's too bad we didn't get to hear Forslund losing his damn mind.

[JRennick]

Just like she always does, Leah Hextall ruins a great moment

[ChippNDipp]

Wasn't expecting the fans to roast the casters like that 😂

[kyerannisbet]

Nothing like a ton of silence to celebrate a team clinching a playoff spot for the very first time 🙄 Way to go, Leah

Congrats to the Kranken and their Fans! And to Ebs and Lars! Still love you guys here in Edmonton.
Go out there and Do some damage. Anything can happen in the playoffs.
Remember, you have a winning record against the Avs this season. And your one loss was in OT. You can do it!

Welcome to the Stanley Cup Playoffs Seattle!!! 😀After a tough expansion year last season the Kraken have already matured into a legit playoff contender in the West in just their 2nd season. Good Luck in the playoffs!!

With it having been 106 years since a Seattle team won the Stanley Cup (Seattle Metropolitans, 1917), it's about time for the Stanley Cup to come back to Seattle. LET'S GO KRAKEN!

Congratulations to all Kraken fans and the organization! Well deserved.

[davezarvan]

And of course Leah Hextall had to be there to ruin it.

Vegas may have made it look easy having a run to the finals in yr one but dont let that miracle take anything away from what an accomplishment this is! (and im a NYR fan!)

[nidavelllir]

Man Seattle should’ve had a team a long time ago, congrats to kraken!

[warrenash]

For all the nay sayers out there, the Kraken were better than expected and have clinched a playoff birth, their first. Not gonna sit here and say they are a cinch for the cup or that they will win any games, much less series. I do know that the Kraken have beaten the best in the league this season and they do have it in them to play well against talented teams.

However, the playoffs are a different brand of hockey. Everyone starts over. 0 -0. It is just exciting that the Kraken have made it to the playoffs. Want them to win but know how difficult it is to win the Stanley Cup. Was a Blues fan waiting years for them to win and they finally did. Moved to Washington state and became a Kraken fan when the team was announced. I will be watching, and rooting, for the Seattle Kraken. Whether they win it all or they go winless, I will continue to root for them. They are my team.

Congrats Seattle best of luck here's hoping your can keep your "Thunder"

[nyrangersfan]

Hextall is still calling games eh? 🤕 Inclusion is nice, but the ability to do the job must also be present. Sadly, in her case, the ability, most obviously, is just not there.


In lighter news!! Congrats Kraken!!! The team deserves it!!!
