It's not just the Kraken. But a lot of it boils down to lousy ownership and the league itself, which is also a joke.Sibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Wed Aug 20, 2025 7:59 pmEverything about this team is a joke, from the virtue signalling arena name to the clueless front office and greedy owners.
In my mind, Bettman has turned the NHL into a highly skilled beer league. Not much in the way of legitimate bodychecks and a lot of stick work. Players getting injured due to high sticks and dirty hits. And no enforcers, so it goes unchecked. Hockey isn't hockey anymore. It's overpriced entertainment for the masses (who can afford it). It's ticket sales, concession and merch. The game itself takes a back seat.
