Seattle Starts Three Game Road Trip Monday In San Jose
Doesn't matter if you were at Climate Pledge Arena Saturday for the Seattle Kraken 3-0 loss to the Dallas Stars or not. Doesn't matter if you were keeping one eye peeled on hockey while watching baseball on TV or not.
Regardless, you'll find new and entertaining perspectives on the game from our eagle-eye photographer Dexter Guiang.
The captions, as always, are my fault.
As Matty Beniers demonstrates, hockey sticks do in fact flex - quite a bit.
As Brandon Tanev demonstrates, sticks can also distract the goaltender.
Brandon (13) wasn't the only Tanev on the ice; sibling Chris (3) plays for Dallas.
The Brothers Tanev is my favorite Dostoevsky book. But hold on a second - are we SURE that they're brothers? Let me see a profile view.
Okay, they're brothers.
Kraken rookie Logan Morrison always wanted an up-close look at the NHL... maybe not THIS close.
"To make things more festive, I filled one of the water bottles with sparkling cider."
Kraken defenseman Adam Larsson (6), wondering if he's been transported inside a snow globe.
When Larsson was given a major penalty and ejected, not all Kraken fans agreed with the call.
Mr. McNasty, either disputing the call within earshot of the referees doing video review, or exaggerating the size of the salmon caught on his last fishing trip.
Kraken goalie Joey Daccord, who had recently visited a Hibachi Grill restaurant, wondering if his stick can slice and dice the puck.
Kraken defensemen Jamie Oleksiak (24) and Will Borgen (3), ready to spring into action, just like they learned to do at Black Friday sales.
Kraken defenseman Brian Dumoulin, startled by a fan wearing a sea monster mask, asked Daccord if he could hide underneath his goalie pads. I don't know if this is true.
