Start of the season looking very promising

Lost in the Mariners playoff run and a promising start to the Seahawk season is the start of the Kraken season.

Most sports pundits have the Kraken placed at being the fourth-worst (or 29th best if you're an optimist) team in the league this season. Young players like Beniers who aren't panning out, middling players playing top-line minutes, and bad contracts like Stephenson's being cited.

Yet here they are 3-2 with both losses in OT (one in a shootout which they have about a 10% chance of winning due to lack of skill), and as stupid as "loser points" are, those points are HUGE. Eight points in five games is great. Plus they've beaten the Golden Showers and Gayple Leafs (in Toronto) in OT so they're off to a great start. Maybe they'll be a playoff team after all.
