1. Some of these have got to be in the running for the “most intimate NHL media day photos ever taken”

2. This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen and I fucking love it

3. The Burakovsky one is great

4. This is so ridiculous it’s actually awesome

5. [Here are more photos!](https://www.instagram.com/p/DAIATRbxX5V/?igsh=MTZnanR2ZXQzZzJ1bg==)

   Should be Kraken’s 2024-2025 calendar. Maybe?

6. I thought this was AI for sure for like a minute

7. Matty Beniers looks like he’s attempting a “how do you do, fellow kids” even though he’s literally a fellow kid dude has been 40 years old since he was 12

8. Is Larsson trying to seduce me with that fish? Coz it’s working.

9. I love this so much

10. Happy for Bjorkstrand and Burakovsky, didn’t know

11. Hell yeah

12. San Jose should be doing the exact same thing.

13. I fw this heavily

14. I’m so glad I picked Seattle as my 2nd team. This is so silly, I love it. 🐟

15. This…

    This is art.

16. Larsson is incredible oh my god.

17. My only gripe is the lack of good old wild eyed Tanev

18. I’m gonna need other teams to take notes

19. Strong **Zoolander** vibes here, for me😂

20. I have a biologist friend in BC who worked the salmon death beds. I bet she can smell this photo.

21. god i love when teams have a personality

22. That’s attractively gay

23. I have to hand it to them, the Kraken have really helped remind people that Seattle is a seafaring nation. I’ve never been there but before the kraken I’ve always associated Seattle with hipsters and homelessness. Having a hockey team there has unironically improved the reputation for Seattle in at least one person’s eyes lol

24. I feel like Seattle has an unusually handsome roster, going by NHL standards

25. lol

26. Seattle has done a fantastic job building up their team. Even in choosing their name, they’re not afraid to lean into the fun and absurd.

    Also, shoutout to their broadcasters. They tailor their broadcast to fans who are likely to be new to the sport and break down the game as it happens. Bravo, Kraken.

27. Just going to leave this here for all the Kraken haters

30. Derek Shepherd is back in Seattle? Or is that last pic somebody else?

31. Should have gone all the way and used real salmon.

33. It’s refreshing to see hockey players show some personality and having fun with stuff like this.

34. I need that picture of Larsson framed on my wall

35. Do i get these pictures in fantasy thumbnails…. Please?

36. bless this team and their media people. i love their sense of humor

37. Missed opportunity to have Brandon Tanev blatantly stare at the camera for one of these.

38. Miss you Burakovsky

39. This is hilarious

40. Well now I want our guys posing alluringly with the cannon.
