What a week! The guys put a ton of work into transforming Barr Down Studios into a real podcast studio and making the video production feel like... well, a real video production, and this episode is the one where they finally unveil the new and improved look.

Segments include a Kraken Roundtable, Down on the Farm, Weekly One-Timers, and What's Good. SUBSCRIBE! ENJOY! REVIEW!

NO VIDEO THIS WEEK! Although the guys reference their new studio a LOT in this episode, you'll have to wait one more week because Darren was a dumb-dumb and accidentally recorded the video in slow motion. Oopsy daisy! Nonetheless, it's a great audio episode, with two fun interviews with Kraken prospects--the last in the Dev Camp series--Loke Krantz and Clarke Caswell. Also, some fun "Roundtable" discussion thanks to our Patreon subscribers. SUBSCRIBE! ENJOY! REVIEW!

With minimal Kraken news over the last week, this is an interview-heavy episode, but it so happens that Former Best Friend of the Pod Chris Peters is a VERY capable talker. As always, fantastic conversation with him. Also, the series of Development Camp interviews with Kraken prospects continues this week with Jakub Fibigr, who also turns in a fun chat with the guys. Segments this week include Down on the Farm and Weekly One-Timers. SUBSCRIBE! ENJOY! REVIEW!

It's something of a "mega" episode this week, with two Seattle Kraken prospect interviews - featuring Jake O'Brien and Hawke Huff - plus lots of discussion about the news from the last week that Shane Wright requested a trade. Also, takeaways from Kraken development camp, and plenty of nonsense, like Get Off My Lawn and Food for Thought. Segments this week include Weekly One-Timers and What's Good. SUBSCRIBE! ENJOY! REVIEW!

A LOT has happened since the last episode, but the guys are here to bring you completely up to speed on all things Kraken. From the Jason Robertson fallout to the NHL Draft, in which Seattle appears to have gotten a great break, the guys have it all covered. Also in this episode, No. 7 pick Chase Reid joins from Kraken Development Camp for a really fun conversation. Plus, SOH does its best to wrap up a chaotic week around the NHL. SUBSCRIBE! ENJOY! REVIEW!

It's been a wild week in the NHL in the lead-up to the NHL Draft, and the Seattle Kraken played a part in it, trading for Mackie Samoskevich and re-signing prized forward Bobby McMann, who was set to become a free agent. The guys give their reactions to those deals, plus the massive trades made around the league. Also, lots of crow talk, colonoscopy talk, and segments that include Weekly One-Timers and What's Good? SUBSCRIBE! ENJOY! REVIEW!

FYI, we intended to have this one available on YouTube but had some technical difficulties, so audio only this week. With Curtis out of town, our good buddy Blaiz Grubic joins the show this week to fill in, making his Sound Of Hockey Podcast debut! Lots of discussion on this episode about what the Kraken can learn from the Hurricanes and what the guys took away from Carolina's impressive Stanley Cup run. SUBSCRIBE! ENJOY! REVIEW!

Emily Kaplan returns to the Sound Of Hockey Podcast for the first time in... oh, about EIGHT YEARS! It's a great conversation that ranges from the Kraken's addition of Melinda French Gates to their ownership group to the current Stanley Cup Final. Plus, the guys continue their journey through Kraken trade targets with a game of "Stay Away or Make a Play." Also, lots more Seattle Torrent talk. SUBSCRIBE! ENJOY! REVIEW!

While there hasn't been much news on the Seattle Kraken front, that doesn't stop the guys from having a robust conversation about the team and where they might look to improve this offseason. Plus, lots of talk about the Seattle Torrent and who they chose to protect... and expose to expansion. Segments include Bad Boys, Down on the Farm, Weekly One-Timers, and What's Good? SUBSCRIBE! ENJOY! REVIEW!

Despite very minimal Kraken news over the past few weeks, the guys still put together a fun episode this week. The Everett Silvertips won the WHL, and John is considering what is considered a “nap” and what is just sleeping. Plus, NHL playoff talk, Down on the Farm, Let’s Get Quizzical, Bad Boys, and Weekly One-Timers. SUBSCRIBE! ENJOY! REVIEW!

The Seattle Kraken have begun their oddly very publicized internal audit, so the guys discuss what that means and share why they think it’s all a bit overblown. Plus, a discussion on whether the team should keep its UFA’s before heading Down on the Farm. Other segments include Weekly One-Timers and What’s Good? SUBSCRIBE! ENJOY! REVIEW!

As you may know, the Sound Of Hockey recently started putting podcast episodes on YouTube. That led to a little screw up on this episode, in which the guys talked for 13 minutes before realizing they weren't recording, then had to start over, which puts things in a funny state to start this show. But... The guys are also in a negative mood after the NHL Draft Lottery, which leads to lots of talk about the future of the Seattle Kraken. Plus, a massive listener MAILBAG. SUBSCRIBE! ENJOY! REVIEW!

Since the guys last recorded, there hasn’t been much Kraken news, other than Jason Botterill’s end-of-season press conference. So, on this episode, you’ll get a recap of that and more of the “Underachieve/Overachieve” game that got started last week. Plus, lots of Torrent talk and the regular segments. SUBSCRIBE! ENJOY! REVIEW!

The Seattle Kraken season is officially over, and the guys have thoughts. On what went right, what went wrong, and so much more. In this episode, they get granular about the performances of several players, locker cleanout day, and whether Bobby McMann will stay. Plus, what to do with all that trash. SUBSCRIBE! ENJOY! REVIEW!

With just a couple meaningless games left for the Seattle Kraken this season, things are very much winding down on another disappointing season. After the Los Angeles Kings clinched a spot by beating Seattle, the guys discuss what might have been if the Kraken had just gotten a little hot down the stretch. Plus, more talk about Ron Francis departing and Tod Leiweke’s press conference, and much more Kraken talk. Segments include Weekly One-Timers and What’s Good? SUBSCRIBE! ENJOY! REVIEW!
