·1 hr 3 min·4 clips

A 7-0 loss is framed as a locker-room moment before the March 7 trade deadline.

1. THE Kraken Pod episode 142 mixes Mardi Gras in New Orleans with a Seattle Kraken reaction segment recorded during a 7-0 loss to St. Louis. 2. Jeff Januzik and Joey Cirilla host the show, and Joey's New Orleans setup matters because the episode keeps cutting between parade talk and live Kraken updates. 3. The episode asks how the Kraken's late-season results, trade-deadline decisions, and young players fit together while the hosts are in Mardi Gras mode. 4. The hosts recap Seattle's 2-1 win over Florida after the Four Nations Face-Off break and note that Jordan Eberle returned for his first game since November 14. 5. Jeff says Eberle played about 14 minutes and took two shots on goal, while the hosts joke that his pelvis looked great through his hockey pants. 6. Shane Wright gets two assists in the Florida game, and the hosts emphasize that his line with Capo Caco and Matty Beniers has looked strong. 7. Jared McCann also scores in the Florida win, and Jeff treats that as a sign of how strange the season has been. 8. Joey Daccord is credited with 26 saves and the team is said to have blocked 15 shots, which the hosts frame as a full-team effort. 9. The next game against Tampa Bay turns into a 4-1 loss after Seattle leads 1-0 through two periods and then fades in the third. 10. The hosts note that Tampa Bay is 7-0-1 all-time against Seattle, with the Lightning's only loss coming in overtime. 11. Ian Furness's stat about the Kraken going 0-9 in the second half of back-to-backs becomes a major talking point because it ties directly to missed standings points. 12. Jeff says that 18 possible points were left on the table and argues that a 4-5 record in those spots would have put Seattle within a point of a wild-card position. 13. The hosts use that number to argue that the team does not have enough talent to survive heavy scheduling spots without a superstar carrying the load. 14. They connect that argument to the approaching March 7 trade deadline and say the roster could look different very soon. 15. Shane Wright's appearance on the Sheet Podcast with Jeff Marek leads to a long discussion of his mindset, including his goal of one day playing for Canada internationally. 16. The hosts say Wright works with a doctor or sports psychologist to manage mistakes, confidence, stress, and emotions, and they contrast that with the pressure of playing in front of hockey fans. 17. Wright also talks about keeping up with former teammates, cheering for Brennan Othmann's call-up to the Rangers, and appreciating coaches such as Jessica Campbell and Dan Bylsma in Coachella Valley and Seattle. 18. The episode's tone jumps between parade banter, real-time game commentary, and a structured Kraken breakdown with lots of side jokes and local details from New Orleans. 19. Listeners who follow Seattle Kraken prospects, back-to-back stats, and trade-deadline talk will get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a clean, game-by-game hockey recap without Mardi Gras detours may skip it.
