Seattle Kraken: Losing McCann and How it Affects the Series
The Seattle Kraken are up 3-2 in the series, with a chance to finish the series at home in front of their faithful fans at Climate Pledge Arena. This will not be an easy feat to pull off.
It’s important for the Kraken to stay out of the penalty box and not physically retaliate on Makar. Instead, their best plan is to beat Colorado, where it hurts the most, on the score sheet.
There is an unwritten rule in hockey: if you injure another player, be prepared to answer the bell (in the way of a fight). And Friday night will be Makar’s first game back since the suspension.
However, the way this retaliation should be remembered forever is by pulling off the upset of the year. Imagine how the defending Stanley Cup champions losing in the opening round, when all the major analysts deemed the Seattle Kraken as significant underdogs, will look in the headlines.
Besides, no one said Makar had to pay for his crimes immediately. The Seattle Kraken can afford to be patient.
How do you think the Seattle Kraken should respond to Makar’s return?
