It's official boys, leafs no longer have the longest drought lmao

[ramon]

The Seattle Metropolitans were the first American team to win the Stanley Cup and they beat the Montreal Canadiens so it is fitting to raise it tonight

[bartholomewesperanza]

Ah yes, I remember that run like it was yesterday. Seattle’s star rover, Rodger “two fingers” McLean scored a fantastic goal where he skated from coast to coast because forward passing was not invented yet

[davidford]

That's so cool to see them do this, to preserve heritage like this

[EveryTimeIDavid]

I love this. This franchise has been so much fun to watch on and off the ice so far.

[JDH]

They should make throwback jerseys to honor them.

[robsenz.]

they're going to catch up with Nashville in no time at this rate!

[johnmcnulty]

I was disappointed they didn't do this for the home opener, but it's fitting that they did it against the Canadiens.

[BrendanP]

If Seattle is doing this, we in Vancouver should do this for the 1915 Vancouver Millionares.

[olmrgosh]

Seattle kraken should bring back the Seattle metropolitans alternate jersey

[michaelhiltz]

So if the Kraken can raise an old teams banner, can't vancouver?

[Nexility_]

*Nashville reveals a division championship banner*

Seattle: Hold my coffee

[JoeGreen]

I’ve been waiting for a long time for this banner to be raised.

Imagine if the Habs did the same with each Stanley cup a Montreal team won. It would add those won by the Montreal Hockey Club, the Montreal Victorias, the Montreal Shamrocks, the Montreal AAA, the Montreal Wanderers, the Montreal Maroons which would add 12 more Stanley cups banners to the 24 the Habs already have lol

[benderbendingrodriguez]

So Seattle has a 102 year drought, quick, someone tell the Leafs

[thinhnonyt]

Nah mock them all we want, I think this is a good move. Honour an important part of hockey history in Seattle.

[alexfilion]

2 home games, 2 banners raised. There you have it, the team that'll finally beat the Preds!

[brentos]

Next week the Jets are gonna put up three Stanley Cup banners for the Winnipeg Victoria's Stanley Cup championships in 1896, 1901 and 1902. 🏆

[AGL_AerialsTampa]

I like how they used the Remember The Titans theme song for this

[jameson]

So Winnipeg and Vancouver get there banners when?
