The Seattle Kraken is also a member of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference.
On the night of May 15, the Krakens played Game 7, against the Dallas Stars. The Seattle Kraken was eliminated after the Stars won the match, scoring 2-1. According to ESPN, professional ice hockey player Jordan Eberle, commented on the Kraken’s performance as a team so far. He said that no one expected the team to make it up to Game 7 becoming a playoff team and coming this close to the Western Conference finals.
He further said that even the team’s win against the Colorado Avalanche was unexpected. Eberle, addressing Kraken’s elimination, said that it is necessary to learn to first lose and then find a path to win. Seattle Kraken has advanced a lot more than its first season and has scored 40 points more, qualifying for its season 2 playoffs.
