·1 hr 4 min·4 clips

The U.S. “blitzed Canada” with fights, then shut them down after McDavid’s goal.

1. The Kraken Pod episode 141 centers on Seattle Kraken news, the Four Nations Face-Off, and Todd Leiweke’s comments on the franchise. 2. Jeff Januzik and Joey Cirilla host the show, and their beer-and-hockey banter shapes how they frame Kraken and NHL updates. 3. The episode asks what the Four Nations Face-Off means for the NHL, the Kraken, and the next stretch of the season. 4. Jeff says he only recently learned that the Four Nations Face-Off is a replacement for the NHL All-Star Game. 5. Joey describes the U.S.-Canada matchup as one of the best hockey games he has seen. 6. Jeff says he missed the U.S.-Canada game because of work, a birthday, and a planned comedy show. 7. Joey says his family was amped enough to let the kids stay up and watch the U.S.-Finland game. 8. The hosts react to three fights in the first nine seconds of the U.S.-Canada game. 9. They also discuss Connor McDavid’s goal and the crowd reaction that followed. 10. Jeff says the United States shut down Team Canada with one of the best defensive efforts he has seen. 11. Joey says the NHL “nail[ed] it” by making the tournament a better showcase than the NBA All-Star break. 12. Jeff says he wants to watch the Thursday rematch between the United States and Canada. 13. The Kraken news section notes that Jordan Eberle was recalled from his conditioning loan with the Coachella Valley Firebirds. 14. Jeff says Eberle still needs to be activated off injured reserve before he can return. 15. The hosts mention the Kraken’s next game at the Florida Panthers on February 22 as a possible return date for Eberle. 16. Todd Leiweke’s 93.3 KJR comments say the Kraken want to build through the draft and are also ready to win now. 17. Jeff reads Leiweke’s line that the team needs to “press” harder and says the ownership group wants to move faster. 18. Joey says Leiweke sounds like someone who gives a fuck about the team and wants it to succeed. 19. The show’s tone is casual, argumentative, and conversational, with frequent detours into beer, food, and jokes about names. 20. Fans of Seattle Kraken talk, hockey rivalry breakdowns, and loose sports conversation will like it; listeners wanting a tight, serious recap may skip it.
