Seattle Kraken 2024-25 Stanley Cup Betting
In their second season, the Seattle Kraken shocked the hockey world. Not only did Seattle show a 40-point improvement from their inaugural season, but the Kraken also upset the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche. Colorado was a prohibitive favorite, and the Kraken took the town by beating them. However, that proved to be the pinnacle for the Seattle franchise. Since that upset, the Kraken have fallen back and missed the playoffs for the past two seasons. And after firing Dave Hakstol after an 81-point season in 2024, the Kraken slipped to 76 points under Dan Bylsma.

Seattle Kraken History
For the first time since 1924, Seattle put a National Hockey League team on the ice. The Seattle Metropolitans won a Stanley Cup championship in 1917 but folded in 1924. On October 12, 2021, the Kraken played their first ever game as a franchise at the Vegas Golden Knights. On October 23, 2021, Seattle hosted the Vancouver Canucks in their first home game at the Climate Pledge Arena. The Kraken and NHL hope an intense rivalry between Seattle and Vancouver will develop based on proximity.
Seattle got off to a promising start with a distinguished logo and snappy uniforms. The Kraken is already emphasizing community involvement and inclusion. The city of Seattle developed a poor reputation for handling riots and the CHAZ Zone in the summer of 2020, and it is hoped that the Kraken can help change the narrative and improve the lawless and radical image of the city.
In goal, the Kraken went with Philipp Grubauer as the number one. Grubauer arrived from the Colorado Avalanche, where he backstopped a team tied with the Vegas Golden Knights for the best regular season record in 2020-21.
Of course, the Vegas Golden Knights’ incredible run to the 2018 Stanley Cup Final as a first-year expansion team puts plenty of pressure on Francis and Hakstol. But Seattle vows to build for the future regardless of those comparisons.
The best part of the 2021-22 season was the tremendous fan support from Seattle. Fans showed great enthusiasm and loyalty.
Television play-by-play man John Forslund is arguably the best in the NHL. Exciting news came when Ed Olczyk was hired away from the Chicago Blackhawks, where he was their long-time color commentator. Olczyk has also been on NBCSN and TNT national broadcasts for several years.
