MAJOR THINGS HAPPENING IN THE ORGANIZATION! Kraken Reaction: Dear or No Deal - 4 major things that need to be talked about. 3 Stars of the Week.

·1 hr 15 min·5 clips
The Kraken front office reportedly had two factions, with one side blocking Ron Francis’s preferred coach.
Episode 137 rolls straight into a late-night Kraken reaction with very little attempt at restraint. The hosts call it therapy because the Kraken coaster is sitting at the bottom right now. They dig into the organizational mess, and the question hanging over everything is simple: what is going on with the Seattle Kraken? Todd being on the road with the team comes up as part of the picture. So does Spronger’s situation. Borgen’s trade request gets treated as a real sign of frustration, but not as some kind of dramatic betrayal. The show keeps circling back to the fact that losing changes how every story sounds. Professional athletes are trying to protect their careers, not perform loyalty for the fan base, and that lands hard here because the hosts are openly wrestling with how attached fans get to individual players. The conversation has that familiar Kraken-pod rhythm where a serious point turns into a joke, then another serious point, then another joke. They sound like people who have spent years living inside this team’s nonsense. Joey gets cast as the therapist and Jeff wears the positive-guy crown while trying not to completely lose it. The episode leaves room for anger, sarcasm, loyalty, and resignation all at once. It is not polished. It is not measured. It sounds like two fans trying to make sense of a very annoying hockey reality while refusing to stop caring. The ending stays loose and self-aware with the one-game-win-streak bit and the usual fan-banter energy. It closes like a show built for people who want Kraken talk with teeth, not a clean corporate summary.

A raw Kraken check-in that turns roster drama into honest fan therapy.

The episode settles into a late-night Kraken therapy session, with the hosts sorting through front-office tension, Todd's road-trip perspective, Sprong's comments, Borgen wanting out, and the larger question of who is actually running things.
