Release the Kraken: Fans react to new name for Seattle's NHL franchise

[micahdaenthusiast]

I don't even play or know hockey but this kind of hype that im seeing right now to this team is making me wanna watch their games

[Someone-evwo]

I bet they would build an intense rivailry against the canucks

[kennymeyer]

I am so excited for the Seattle Kraken to start playing! I love hockey!

[SquaboG]

I better see Liam Neeson yelling “Release the Kraken!” on the Jumbotron. Super stoked!

[swalterstennis]

I hate the name. We live in CrackTown USA already. But, I’m a huge hockey fan, thanks to the Seattle Totems and Seattle Thunderbirds, and I’m gonna support them 100%.

I love it! Love the fact that Seattle seems so excited to be getting an NHL team. Love the team name, logos and jersey! Welcome to the NHL Seattle Kraken!

I can only imagine the intensity of Seattle & Vancouver meet up for the conference finals. It is not just another CANADA vs USA but also their geographic proximity would amplify the given intensity

[McCool]

I bet they'll will the Stanley Cup before the Mariners win their World Series‼

[ternedo]

I just want them to draft Phil Kessel, so he can be Phil McKraken

[psychonaut]

Their theme song should be "Rusty Cage" by Sound Garden.

KRAKEN - German for Octopus
Red Wings Fan- Throws Octopus on Seattle ice for the first time.
Kraken Fan- Oh look Honey, someone threw a kraken on the ice for us we should start doing that!
Red Wings Fan- Face palm.

The smile the name is putting on everyone's faces is very enlightening.

I'm sitting here, imagining what opening night is going to be like. The music, the theme, the crowd reaction.
I so want to be there.
If anyone has an extra seat.
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!
