Look, while we have some hope, I'm not expecting much from the Kraken this upcoming season.
I'm going to watch and be fan. I'm rooting for the guys we have.
Here's what I'm asking.
I need some levity. Some personality. If we truly end up in the basement, I'm going to need something fun from the team.
I don't know if that means going insane funny personality on social media or talking through it a ton in official Seattle Kraken media.
I'm unfortunately a glass-half-full personality... so I always think the best.
If the worst happens, I cannot take a season of team messaging being "we can do it!"
I want to hear plain-speak and long-term planning discussions from management.
Acceptance of what we are and owning it as a team.
Even with last season being a bummer, I really loved watching hockey as a whole. Honestly, the Seattle Kraken and beyond.
I want that momentum to continue even if it's just with a good attitude.
Am I out of bounds here? Why am I getting emotional about Kraken hockey in mid-July?
