The Seattle Kraken officially arrived in the NHL today. Their name is rad (sorry, TJ), their logos are rad, and their jerseys are rad.
Later in the day, the NHL officially welcomed the 32nd franchise into its “official” group chat, and you guys, there’s video of the exchange.

These team interactions are so dang good. My only beef is they spelled Ovi, Ovie.

The Kraken updated their Twitter bio in the afternoon and that’s when things got too real for me.
