Kraken are actually good, because despite no star forwards, they have a lot of quality players at depth, along with great goaltending by Groobs. So basically same as what Vegas did. Kind of the opposite of the Leafs and Oilers really (and Lightning, Bruins and Avs, who are all out).

I don't know if it's the right recipe to win a Stanley Cup - Vegas never went all the way either - but it seems to be doing OK for them so far.

Most important to me is that they are fun as hell to watch, and easy to root for. I'm glad Seattle has a team to root for after losing the Sonics (took long but they got it) and wish them all the success.

It's going to be hard for me to choose who to root for if it's Kraken vs Oilers in the western finals.
