Fan(tastic) Appreciation

In a season of ups and downs and streaks, popular Kraken forward Brandon Tanev said the Climate Pledge Arena fans always delivered winning performances. “I think from day one when we arrived in Seattle for the expansion draft, we all knew what kind of sports town it is and how great the fans are,” said Tanev, one of six original Kraken introduced in person to the lively throng at Gas Works Park. It's no doubt one of the best buildings in the NHL to play. Tanev, of course, has a knack for activating the Kraken faithful, whether with a sudden burst of speed-up ice or the occasional squaring off with an opponent, gloves off.
