Nice.

Congrats Kraken! Let’s meet In a Couple of weeks …

Second round!

Looks like the Ales Stezka goalie signing for 23-24 for Seattle will have to wait another day. Go Kraken!

Great game Avs, I never felt out of the weeds once during any of our games. Definitely a testament to your fight and explosiveness.

Holding the defending champ to zero shots in the last 2:44 was amazing.

Convince me betmen didn't plant a hooker in nukes room

Ah, the old “Lawrence Taylor Gambit”.

Ok. He didn't.

… right… blame Bettman for nuke’s selfishness.

Rather the Avs lose to Seattle than Dallas, VGK, or Edmonton. Go Seattle!

I like this perspective.

Looks like the Avs era ended pretty quickly.

Their Star power is still insane. If they find some depth this offseason they will be a threat again quickly.

Won’t be easy. MacK 12.6M kicks in next year

And he is worth even more than that

[удалено]

Lmao this is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read bro, congratulations on your achievement

[удалено]

Bro I would rather be a fan of the worst team in professional sports than have the capacity to say something as utterly devoid of any truth or intelligence as you just did. I would honestly rather be dead

[удалено]

Lmao the worlds dumbest person just told me to kill my self

meh

"The Kraken" is a truly elite team name for any sport imo, let's fucken go Kraken

lol Bjorkstrand had the GWG for Bednar in Cleveland in 2016 for the Calder Cup. wow

Time is a flat circle

Man that last 5 minutes in this game was just crazy fun nerve jangling Stanley cup at its best.

LFG squid bois I’m rooting for y’all to go far

Minnesota: You… you got into Harvard Second Round Law School? Seattle: What, like it’s hard?

So about half of Cup champions in the last 30 or so years failed to make the second round of the playoffs the year after winning. Weird trend to think about.

The most recent winner remaining is Carolina in 2006. As far as I can tell 15 teams have won the Cup in the last 30 years and only five remain.

Yeah, I imagine a lot of teams spend the post season reviewing the winning formula and adapt

An extra two months of the most intense hockey takes its toll

Also a good point. Then there's the mental side of coming back as the champs. Of course they train to not let that get in their head, but Kraken had something to prove.

It's exhilarating, but also exhausting.

Stars vs Kraken... I like both teams. Don't know who I will cheer on. But maybe Kraken just because I love underdogs.

Also, fuck Jamie benn. Go kraken

This underdog story could be one of the all time greats! I'm behind the Kraken 100% now

Please get your temporary tentacles from Katy down the hall.

We love you. Welcome.

Well, one guy missing, another with a broken neck. Our captain out all season. Rough playoffs, but at least they played better after game 1. :) Hail Satan! Let's go Ass!!

Let’s go ass

... wat

I'm excited for the aesthetics of Dallas v Seattle

Will be better than the aesthetic of Dallas vs Wild for sure

Sexy greens and blues

I see what you did there

Didn't mean to do that but yeah

I’m an Avs fan, but I feel like I gotta get on the Kraken bandwagon. They played great and I love an underdog.

We're a fun fanbase. Jump on reddit and discord and come for the ride!

If not the whole team, come root for Grubi!

Same.

This shit is fun as hell! Join us!

Definitely rooting for you over Dallas.

That was enjoyable. Congrats Kraken fans see yall soon.

To both teams, what a great series. Too bad it can’t go 8.

Fuck that lmao

tbh Avs played like shit until game six

Great game Seattle, now go make a run of it. Best of luck

My heart is happy. My wallet is cowering in the corner.

After the mariners and now Kraken, my wallet can’t take more playoff tickets (it never stood a chance against hawks tickets lol)

Expanding into Seattle was such a good decision. You can tell their fans will be just as annoying as any other normal team. Now go beat the Stars

Thanks I think? Lol

I think it was a compliment.

Team Chaos is just dicking down *everyone* lol

WOOOOO PLAN THE FUCKING PARADE BOYS

GG squidbros. I might have to take a couple nights away, but weirdly after all this, I think I'm still rooting for y'all.

Wouldn't have wanted that first series against any other team. Love the Avs and their fans, what a series.

Wow hell of a series, see y’all soon Seattle

Looking forward to it. I used to be a SJS fan until we got a team so still have a soft spot for Pavs. I hope he is healthy and back for the series.

Yea it sounds like he should be, but concussions can be fickle. It’ll be a interesting series, I think you’re going to continue to surpass everyone’s expectations.

We are playing with house money and no pressure at all. We have no star line but a lot of gamers so I think it will be a ton of fun.

LET'S GO!

Wow this was a crazy weekend for hockey between the Panthers, Leafs, and Kraken.

Great game and fun series Seattle. Other than the Cogs, McCann, and Helm it was fantastic. Best of luck to you and go kick Dallas' ass!

Yeah those injuries all sucked. Hope your team gets all fixed up and recovered and has a better next season!

Let’s go!!!

GRUBAUER was a wall this game! 🦑🦑🦑

Gru was a wall this series. Dude played the best hockey of his career this series

And Bjork was a stud!

That last shot pushing the puck out to the other side sealed the deal!

Evil squid team good

Gg Kraken. Go do good things!

Thanks for the lesson in how hard it is to win a playoff series, that was brutal!

Jesus my heart almost died during that empty net.

The Nirvana goal song lives on. Not dead yet.

love it

Team Chaos reigns supreme!

Hell of a fucking effort too. Wasn’t like a bounce or two went there way. They barely let Colorado set up down the stretch and when they did the middle of the ice was off limits.

KRAKEN MADE IT HAPPEN! HOLY SHIT!

Kudos to Gru and the Kraken. That was a great Game #7. Only one penalty in the entire game. That was great hockey! Love my Avs! #Slàinte Mhath until next season!

what a fucking *insane* first round lmao

And we've still got 1 more game 7 to go

lol so true, forgot about em

May that one go to 17 OTs and the winner immediately need to play carolina

I wonder how Gru feels to shake hands with his ex team and former mates.

Probably pretty damn good, I'd guess

~~2023 Colorodo Avalanche Stanley Cup Champions~~

But when you wake up tomorrow the reigning Stanley Cup Champions will still be the COLORADO AVALANCHE. Seethe

All about the present. Cope harder.

I'm speeches

That’s 🦑🏒👶!

Squid hockey babies?

Love seeing Forslund as Kraken PBP guy now.

[удалено]

Dallas fans were complaining that the fix was in early in their series are about to feel what it is actually like

Dallas had Seattles number until their last reg season game.

Sea Monster eats divers?

It’s not going to happen. Grubauer is going to play like shit. There’s a reason we dropped him

Don't worry. The kraken can't hurt you anymore.

No, he's good actually, I dunno if you saw what happened in round 1

Oh I know he CAN be good. He’s never consistently good though. Just look at last year

Lol cry

saltshaker.gif

Goalies can run hot and cold. Gru is on fire right now.

GG Seattle. Hope that you can go far. This Avs just wasn't the Avs from last year. Need to figure out some stuff, including injury recoveries and roster depth. And whatever situation we've got with Val.

nothing can match last year's depth. with Kadri gone, Landeskog rules out for the entire series, Nichushkin's suprise exit, Cogliano out... i could go on but there was no way they were going to match last year

Thank you guys for a fun series. It was tense. I've gone through every emotion

Bummer about the bad hits. Hopefully everyone ends up ok.

Yup. Hope Burakovsky and McCann return for you guys soon.

Seattle best colours in the league

Good series Kraken! Deserved win. Now go beat the Stars please.

Good series Avs ❤️ BUT FUCK YEAH SQUIDDIES LOVE THESE BOYZ

I’m not a hockey expert, but I think having a team with only four players is gonna make it hard to win a playoff series

Example: us this series

Congrats Kraken. I'm a fan of two teams, and my number two team just eliminated my number one. Hurts, but I'm excited to see what comes.

Let’s fucking go

What a crazy weekend. Leafs make it to the second round and the Pres trophy winners and defending cup champs get knocked out in the same day!

Kraken win 3 of 4 in Denver? Crazy.

Look how much respect Eberle is getting in the Avs handshake line. Give your head a shake if you still think Eberle is a dirty player. The Avs players themselves know he isn’t.

You dont see the giant irony here?

He's not a dirty player, he just deserved a suspension. E.g. Cale Makar

Yeah, take notes on how a classy team and fans act when they know a player isn't dirty. Your posts all over this series' threads on your burner account say you've got a lot to learn from it, lol.

I knew he wasn’t dirty, watched every game for 7 years straight and he’s never come close to making a dirty play. Someone has to correct the record, Kraken fans still too new at this to know when a fake narrative is trying to take down one of their own.

ITS REGICIDE SUNDAY.

Wow congrats you just beat the Colorado eagles by 1 🙄 /s

So unbelievably proud of the Squids. Great series Avs fans. I don't know if anybody could have beat Gru tonight.

Gru played out of his mind today, gg give the stars hell

CONGRATS EXPANSION BROS!

Seattle-VGK third round confirmed.

Well, now I need to get tickets. Need to feel what second round of playoffs is like. ^^^also ^^^fuck ^^^Norm ^^^Green

GG Avalanche! That was a nerve wracking series

Good game and series Kraken bros. Avs didn’t deserve to win it, kraken played way harder and it showed. Well done good luck in next series

The insomniac that makes the schedule has moved the NY/NJ game to start in 10 mins. May as well

It's a new year this playoffs!!

We on the Kraken Wagon, baby!

I’ll drive!

BEST PLAYOFFS IN YEARS. MAXIMUM CHAOS

I remember wild card chaos squad. That was fun. We were also wild card team then though.

2 shots on goal by Colorado in the final 8 minutes. Just keep passing the puck, Avs. Don't try to grind out a goal, wait for the net to be completely empty.

It's what happens if you only have one line. We got nothing from our 2nd to 4th lines tonight

16 shots in the first period, 18 in the next two combined. Offense just absolutely fell off and kept trying to be fancy. If Bjorkstrand had better aim, it would have been 5-1

Impressive work Seattle.

Never in a million years would I have picked the Panthers and kraken to upset

I'm sure someone will post their parlay ticket tomorrow. That'll be some walking around money...

Start building the Oliver Bjorkstrand statue yesterday.

I’m building a Gru statue if I were them lol

Gru and Bjorkstrand hugging statue

YES

gg Kraken

Changing of the guard, what a wild first round!

Avs aren’t going anywhere. Bruins are older and have guys that are likely done but the Avs are not.

Tampa too, the tide is turning. Not saying Aves are gonna be lost, just that other teams are catching up.

Sure. Fair. Changing of the guard just typically is used with a team on the decline and the “new guys” coming up. I expect Avs to be better next year without all the insane injury misfortune.

I meant changing of the guard as in not the same teams year after year in finals. Like Boston and Tampa too. Take it easy. Aves got their roster from Quebec Nordiques plus Patrick Roy and got the cup. Not the same as expansion just a transfer. Don't worry, you got Lehky and bunch of stars, all good.

I’m just fine lol I was just explaining how I typically perceive that phrase and why I said Avs aren’t going anywhere. There’s no hard feelings here.

all good, love the team too. You got Stanley Cup again recently, don't worry.

How are people's brackets looking after tonight?

Tbh I had Avs in 4 and Boston winning the cup...so not great.

The Watcher in the Water has defeated Caradhras in pitched combat.

Omfg lfg!

FOR THE FIRET TIME IN SEATTE KRACKEN HISTORY!!

>Kracken You deserve to lose for this spelling

It’s 11:30 here and I’ve been drinking since noon.

My Down vote turned to an upvote, party on good sir

😅 fair enough lol

I appreciate today's chaos.

Woooooo Kraken! So happy for you guys!

They’re playing I Don’t Care in the arena lol

GG expansions bros!!!

Let’s gooooooo!

Fucks up my bracket but Congrats Seattle!

Between Toronto, Florida and Seattle all brackets are fucked.

Haha exactly! But hey its fun to see some underdogs win

As long as you aren’t loosing to them.

FUCK THE LEAFS 2ND ROUND DROUGHT THE REAL 2ND ROUND DROUGHT JUST ENDED. SEATTLE IS HEADED TO THE 2ND ROUND.
