ALL ABOARD THE KRAKEN WAGON! Kraken Reaction: Bedard to Chicago, Father Canner's return, and death by 1,000 cuts. #NoDumbQuestions: playoff beard history and rules?! 3 Stars of the Week.

THE SEATTLE KRAKEN PLAYOFF VIBES ARE PEAKING! Jeff and Joey quickly catch up on life before Jeff opens up discussion around how Chicago landed Connor Bedard by securing the #1 pick in the upcoming NHL Draft. Is the NHL rigged? Also, a prediction from Jeff regarding the Original Six franchise on how they plan to turn everything around. Next, this week's Kraken Reaction (10:30) covers games 1-3 against the Dallas Stars, predictions for game 4, a breaking update on Jared McCann and how that energy and storyline could propel the team to the next level, how the Kraken are STILL being underrated by national hockey media, NHL playoff coverage around the league, and much more. Next, No Dumb Questions (38:20) has long-standing Kraken Pod Fam member James Sullivan ask about playoff beards, whether they're in the player's contracts, when they're allowed to shave / not shave, and much more. Joey takes it as an opportunity to deep dive into the history of the playoff beard dating back to the early 1980's with the New York Islanders. Three Stars of the Week covers everything ranging from fuck the Astros, water slides, golf tournaments, coffee, and much more.
