As that Vegas mainstay Elvis Presley once implored us in song, "A little less conversation, a little more action, please."

It's been a full year since the NHL announced that its signature in-season event, the Winter Classic, was coming to Seattle.

The conversation is almost over, and the action will begin shortly after 12 noon Pacific Time (TV: TNT).

The host Seattle Kraken and visiting Vegas Golden Knights will emerge from the dugouts at T-Mobile Park and walk along makeshift piers to a rink constructed between first and third base.

We said the conversation was almost over. In our final Kraken Reaction video prior to gametime, we size up the defending Stanley Cup champions with THN Golden Knights site editor Paul De Los Santos.
