THE BOYS ARE HOT! Kraken Reaction: Bjorkstrand the All-Star, and Joey Daccord on Spittin' Chiclets. NHL News: Connor Bedard on IR, Nylander gets the bag, and a blockbuster trade. #NoDumbQuestions: All-Star selection? 3 Stars of the Week.

THE Kraken Pod: a Seattle Kraken and NHL podcast

THE BOYS - BLOCK IS HOT! Notorious rap guy Jeff Januszek starts off this week's episode droppin' bars as the boys catch up quickly on the new year feeling refreshed after a 5 game pause in action. This week's Kraken Reaction (3:40) covers a beatdown of the Ottatwats, a breakdown of the biggest road test of the 2023-2024 season, highlights from Joey Daccord's interview on Spittin' Chiclets, and Oliver Bjorkstrand's anti-climactic All-Star selection that had him canceling plans on an Air B&B in San Diego. Next, in NHL News the boys discuss Connor Bedard's fractured jaw and why the Chicago Blackhawks are cursed, why Nylander is a top 10 players in the league and was rewarded the biggest bag in Toronto Maple Leafs history, and a blockbuster trade between the Anaheim Ducks and Philadelphia Flyers with Cutter Gautier citing GM and coaching concerns before John Tortorella sounds off in a post-game interview on the matter creating some drama in the league. No Dumb Questions (56:55) comes from Joey this week who asks exactly what the All-Star selection for the NHL looks like after a very underwhelming All-Star selection announcement from the league and the surprise but deserved pick of Oliver Bjorkstrand had Seattle Kraken fans with their heads spinning and why the NHL Operations Department has a heavy hand in all of it. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from Mardi Gras and King Cake to Daisy Jones and the Six, the Seattle Mariners (despite Joey's reluctance), the Captains of the World, the Detroit Lions and much more. Ending, as always, with the Chirp of the Week.
