Seattle NHL Team is officially named !

[Columbia Craw]

It's official.  The new NHL Seattle Kracken.  So Liam Neeson get's a royalty everytime the announcer plays him saying " Release the Kracken!"  

Now the puns start.  The stadium will be referred to as the Krack-House and the fans called Krack-Heads.  The mascot could be Squidward from Sponge Bob Square Pants.  After the game we'll all go out to eat at the Kracken Barrel.  And so it goes.

I think the estate of Sir Laurence Olivier would have first dibs.

Hahahahah!!! At least you can have a laugh amongst all the craziness out in the PNW. Hockey has become quite popular in Nashville, hopefully it does well or better in Seattle

And the Redskins are now The Washington Football Team

I like the name, hopefully they keep it when they move the team to OKC.

Should have just called themselves Chaz...or Chop. Isn't Phil Macracken a Simpsons episode?

Glen made a funny!

Ktulus would have been better, maybe even killer whales (orcas) lol

I was always a fan of the Rain City B%$#@ Pigeons, but oh well. In all honesty, the logo is pretty slick. Hopefully they make waves and are competitive out the gate like Vegas.
