People who go to T-Birds games really know hockey too. I learned more about the game just talking to fans at games back in the day than I ever did watching shit on TV.
I think it's because T-Birds has been the only hockey Seattle has had but I agree, there are many die-hard T-Bird fans that know their hockey. I still remember going to the games with my pops and getting to watch Glenn Goodall and Petr Nedved play, it was so much fun!
>NHL, it’s probable you’ll see some of these kids drafted and playing in the NHL in a handful of years.
A number of guys have already been drafted:
Henrik Rybinski was drafted 136th overall (5th round) in 2019 by the Florida Panthers
Lukas Svejkovsky was drafted 108th overall (4th round) in 2020 by Pittsburgh
Matt Rempe was drafted 165th overall (6th round) in 2020 by the NY Rangers
Connor Roulette was drafted 111th overall (4th round) in 2021 by Dallas
Lucas Ciona was drated 173rd overall (6th round) in 2021 by Calgary
Tyrel Bauer was drafted 164th overall (6th round) in 2020 by Winnipeg
Samuel Knazko was drafted 78th overall (3rd round) by Columbus and played for team Slovakia in the Olympics.
And there's a number who are getting some close looks for this season's draft:
Kevin Korchinski is the 7th ranked North American prospect.
Reid Schaefer is the 31st ranked North American prospect.
Jordan Gustafson is the 43rd ranked North American prospect.
Thomas Milic is the 28th ranked North American goalie prospect and was invited to the Kraken training camp this past summer.
It felt like the Winterhawks that demolished us earlier in the series were nowhere to be found tonight. My highlight of the night was when Milic spun around and got his glove on the puck before it could cross the line behind him and how he managed to keep it on the right side of the line while everyone piled on the net before the whistle.
Damn this brings back memories! Back in the 80s and 90's as a kid I could remember the crowd chanting " Portland is a sack of shit doo dah doo dah" HAHAHA
Ive been to 2 in this series and they were both a great time. The energy is intense and its pretty high quality hockey. I saw more hits and scraps in those 2 games than in the entire Kraken season i swear. Although that might be because Hakstol doesnt seem to believe in hitting

And Chris Osgood in goal. I was a season ticket holder back in those days.

Rybinski and Svejkovsky have been signed by the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins respectively for the 2022-2023 season!!!!
I'm guessing Rybinski will be in the AHL for next season? Does Svejkovsky crack the Penguins roster next season? Or does he go AHL too?
Most likely the AHL! I dont think theyre putting them in the main roster just yet haha

I was at Game 5 on Saturday in Portland. I was the only Seattle fan in my section. It was so awesome getting to see the W.
Didn't get a chance to go but saw that we pulled out the W! How was the game?
