The Mario Lemieux episode! Kraken Reaction: the March playoffs are AWESOME, the universe is speaking to us, and the boys are home. #NoDumbQuestions: what are waivers? 3 Stars of the Week.

The universe is speaking to us! This week's Kraken Reaction (16:00) has Jeff talking about why these March playoffs are so great, a breakdown of the road trip plus preview of the upcoming home games against the Anaheim Ducks, Ottawa Senators, and Dallas Stars, the outstanding play of Grubauer, Turbo's ability to hustle for that empty netter, and much more. Next, No Dumb Questions (44:23) has a Member of the Kraken Pod Fam ask exactly how waivers work in the NHL and the boys break down exactly why it's utilized, the specific deadline teams have to claim a player from another team off of waivers, and how it helps with parity in the league. Three Stars of the Week has Joey opening up about depression, the boys' excitement over more daylights, a flag football team update, and more. Ending, as always, with the Chirp of the Week.
