WEATHER GATE! Kraken Reaction: goalie controversy, and an all-time streak. NHL News: Merzlikins drama in Ohio. #NoDumbQuestions: where do the hats go?! 3 Stars of the Week.

SHUT THE STATE DOWN! Jeff and Joey turn The Kraken Pod into a weather podcast with cold weather shutting down the state of Louisiana and Jeff's kids taking advantage by getting some TOI in the driveway to work on their slapshot. This week's Kraken Reaction (12:03) covers the all-time winning streak that just ended, what went right in every game for the Kraken during that period, why the match up against Columbus was the most impressive win of them all, and Joey goes all in on Dave Hakstol who he believes made a crucial goalie error during the road trip. Jeff goes into this week's NHL News by updating everyone on the status of Connor Bedard as well as sharing what's going on with Elvis Merzlikins in Columbus and why a trade seems imminent at this point. This week's No Dumb Questions (47:31) comes all the way from Japan where Jay asks what do NHL teams do with all of the hats that are thrown onto the ice following a player completing a hat trick. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from moving limbo to a wild head coaching carousel in both the NFL and college football, an EPIC RANT from Jeff on his personal history with the Detroit Lions and why their win on Sunday is about more than sports for the people of Detroit, flag football news that rocks Joey to his core, and soup season featuring some homemade Chicken Tortilla soup that Joey made coinciding with a much needed discussion on chips. Ending, as always, with the Chirp of the Week. Subscribe: On All podcasting apps, rate & review on iTunes, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify!
