Jordan Eberle hands out the F1 movie racing helmet signed by Brad Pitt instead of a belt.

1. THE Kraken Pod episode 147 focuses on the Seattle Kraken’s early-season reaction and the “vibe check” around Lane Lambert’s first games. 2. Hosts Jeff Januzik and Joey Cirillo lead the show as Kraken fans and Seattle sports observers who trade off analysis and jokes. 3. The episode asks whether Seattle’s 2-0 start already suggests an identity, with Lambert, Joey Daccord, and the postgame room as the main clues. 4. Jeff points to the Anaheim opener’s first period and says it looked rough before Seattle settled into the game. 5. Joey describes the postgame locker room video where Jordan Eberle hands out the F1 movie racing helmet signed by Brad Pitt instead of a belt. 6. Lane Lambert receives the first game puck, and the hosts read his reaction as quiet confidence rather than celebration. 7. The Golden Knights game becomes the central example of how Seattle can win with puck possession, patience, and reset-after-reset overtime shifts. 8. Jeff says the Kraken kept entering the zone, winning puck battles, and controlling the pace until Father Cantenor scored. 9. Joey frames the team’s style as stingy defense, active sticks, and a hard forecheck that can grind opponents down. 10. Both hosts contrast that approach with last season’s losses and say boring hockey is acceptable if it produces wins. 11. Jeff says Lane Lambert’s introduction video, where he did not smile or wave, made him commit to the coach immediately. 12. Joey links Lambert’s demeanor to a new team culture and says the players seem to be feeling the vibe shift. 13. The discussion repeatedly returns to the word “identity,” which they think Seattle lacked in recent seasons. 14. Joey Daccord gets singled out for 61 saves in two games and a third-place NHL goals-against ranking in the tiny sample. 15. Jeff also highlights Brandon Montour, Vince Dunn, and Shane Wright as players with early-season storylines worth watching. 16. Joey names Maddie Beniers as a two-way player who impressed Lambert, and Jeff likes the confidence shown in that endorsement. 17. The tone stays loose and conversational, with broken equipment jokes, crickets, and side trips into Mariners and Seahawks talk. 18. The format mixes Kraken breakdowns with three stars of the week, letting the hosts jump between hockey and Seattle life. 19. Listen if you follow the Kraken, Lane Lambert, or Seattle sports momentum. 20. Skip if you want polished analysis without banter or side tangents.
