PUT IT IN REVERSE, TERRY! Kraken Reaction: NHL trade deadline recap and reactions. 3 Stars of the Week.

·1 hr 20 min·5 clips
Maddie Beniers played like a man possessed in the first game after the trade deadline.
Episode 143 opens with Jeff and Joey catching up after some time away. The trade deadline is the main topic, and they recap who is gone, who remains, and what that means for the Seattle Kraken. They also break down the last couple of games because, as the episode makes clear, some interesting things happened there. From there, the conversation shifts to what the team should be aiming for with about 17 games remaining. The offseason and the cap come up next, which opens the door to broader roster speculation. Joey and Jeff also get into free-agent dreaming, with Mitch Marner as the obvious headline name and the Maple Leafs becoming part of the discussion. The show leans into familiar hockey-fan banter and a little self-aware nonsense along the way, including side jokes and playful back-and-forth about how the episode could be edited. That humor is part of how they process the hockey, not something separate from it. The episode closes with their three stars of the week, followed by the chirp of the week and the familiar line about putting it in reverse, Terry. Overall, it is a Kraken fan conversation trying to make sense of a changing season without losing the personality of the show.
