Novelty is wearing off for the #Seakraken and without much success over three seasons, fan interest is waning. Pressure to win is at an all-time high for Seattle, not just to fill the trophy case but to continually fill the stands. For @DavyJonesLR davyjoneslockerroom.com/troubled-water…

This is one of the problems with the use of press conferences as a straight-to-audience video product. The question you're calling stupid is not meant to sound intelligent to PatsFan49. It's meant to produce a valuable answer.

So far, WA Gov. Bob Ferguson has held more Seahawks flag-raising ceremonies than press conferences dedicated to taking wide-ranging questions from reporters. His avoidance of regular open Q&As is a departure from past governors — limiting public scrutiny of his office. #waleg

In addition to today’s news, a Kraken spokesperson also confirmed to @933KJR that video analyst Adam Purner has left the organization.

An update from #SeaKraken EVP & General Manager Jason Botterill. Read more → bit.ly/CAMPBELL0430

Jessica Campbell will not return to the Seattle Kraken bench next season, sources told ESPN. The Kraken are supporting Campbell as she receives interest across NHL. All positive, contract expires this summer.. sounds like they even left door open for her to return to the org.

The privately financed project will include a city-operated community center, restaurant and team store. bizjournals.com/seattle/news/2…

Gov. Ferguson's office rolled out a policy last summer requiring most agency media communications --- including email replies to reporters --- to go through them. They also have told agency staff not to tell reporters about this media policy.

Jason Botterill, if Ron Francis – who he mentioned as a mentor – had any influence in decision making last year:

#SeaKraken CEO Tod Lieweke says there is not yet a timeline for the audit to formally begin or conclude, though he says “it’s already going on now” internally. Outside candidates are still being evaluated. “We’re going to leave no stone unturned” in pursuing a winner.

"Maybe join a jazz trio... I gotta find a new purpose so I don't get all depressed over the next few weeks." Devin Cooley on the offseason 😂

Grubi took some interesting (implied) pot shots at Dan Bylsma, saying the coaching this year was the biggest reason for his improvement. When asked about changes to his game: “Not anything crazy, I think maybe, I was not as aggressive anymore because, like last year, what system did we play, if there was a system, right?” Said it was a “night and day” difference playing behind Lambert’s defense. #SeaKraken

U.S. Thanksgiving is often used as a benchmark by the NHL for what the playoff picture might look like by regular season’s end… #SeaKraken were the only team in western conference this season to go from being in a playoff spot to missing it entirely.

Interesting stuff from Jared McCann on leadership needing to keep the younger players focused.

Pending UFA Bobby McMann says there haven't been any extension talks with the Kraken yet. On what he's looking for when deciding where to sign: "I think the biggest thing is winning."

😬

Lane Lambert says Jaden Schwartz will not play in tonight's season finale. Was originally ruled out before last night's game in Vegas (upper body). #SeaKraken

Kraken players line up to shake hands with Anze Kopitar, who's retiring at the end of the season.

Last home game of the season! #Seakraken Nikke Kokko and #GoKingsGo Anton Forsberg just led their respective teams out for warmups.
