1, 2, 3, CANCUN! Kraken Reaction: hat trick intel from Piper Shaw, and is this team playoff worthy? NHL News: Hockey Canada's scandal. #NoDumbQuestions: most common score? 3 Stars of the Week.

THE Kraken Pod: a Seattle Kraken and NHL podcast

This team needs a break...and so do we. Jeff and Joey are coming in swinging going into the All-Star break as the two stayed up past midnight CST to watch the Seattle Kraken get blanked by the worst team in the league, the San Jose Sharks. This week's Kraken Reaction (7:15) covers a demonstrative win against the reeling Chicago Blackhawks, why the OT loss against the St. Louis Blues was the worst loss of the season, how Jordan Eberle's Dad Energy continues to greatly benefit the organization, and how in the hell the Seattle Kraken lost to San Jose before taking a much-needed break. Shocking to no one, the two have a different outlook on the last game of the first half of the season before Joey goes in on Hakstol and why his comments are the game were bothersome to him. Jeff shares some intel from friend of the pop Piper Shaw on what the Seattle Kraken are doing with the hats collected from the 1 and only hat trick of the organization so far and Joey recalls how it's similar to what they've learned about the Columbus Blue Jackets and their home barn. In NHL News: Jeff breaks down the deep waters that Hockey Canada is in following a sexual assault investigation amidst allegations from the 2018 World Juniors, why that's impacting the world of hockey now beyond the NHL, how this sport has a checkered past that needs to be addressed, and the two discuss what can be done in order to flip the script and do what's right moving forward. We're looking at you, Gary Bettman and Calgary Flames. No Dumb Questions (52:50) has member of the Kraken Pod Fam Ben Cumberland weigh in from Instagram on what is the most common outcome in NHL games which leads Joey down a deep dive of analytics covering nearly 60,000 hockey games, the statistical most likely outcome, how sports betting sites use that information to their benefit when setting lines, and why last night's Columbus Blue Jackets vs St. Louis Blues 1-0 outcome was a rarity seen in the NHL. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions with their improbable run that was cut short, "Monkey Man," Jeff discovering "The Office" two decades too late, Disney with the fam, Jon Stewart returning to the Daily Show, and much more. Ending, as always, with the Chirp of the Week.
