between the Seattle Metropolitans and Montreal Canadiens.
Those who do fill Seattle’s home building on Saturday night will be getting rewarded with the next chapter in the city’s hockey history. Acknowledging the past has been a staple of the franchise well before they were known as the Kraken – whether it was Seattle’s history with teams in leagues other than the NHL like the Thunderbirds, Breakers, Totems and Ironmen, and of course the Metropolitans.
"It can sound corny sometimes when you talk about the fans, but really think about the journey they’ve been on," Kraken CEO Tod Leiweke said. "They responded to billboards and some press releases and signed up. They’ve been with us the whole way. They didn’t know that we were gonna end up developing the arena the way we did. They didn’t know the team name. They didn’t know the players. They didn’t know the GM. They didn’t know the coach.
If winning 11 of 12 playoff series over the past three postseasons taught coach Jon Cooper and his players anything, it’s to not ride the emotional roller coaster of winning big one night and not playing well the next.
