The Seattle Kraken Reveal Their Mascot and It's Quite Embarrassing
The Seattle Kraken are the NHL's newest expansion team totalling the leagues thirty-second team. The Kraken follow the Golden Knights who were the most previous expansion team to enter the league. The Kraken had quite the dreadful first season, quite the opposite of the Golden Knights first year in the league. The Kraken finished dead last in their division and were not even close to a playoff spot, the top team in their division finished with 110 points (50 wins), and the Kraken finished last place with 60 total points (27 wins).
With all new beginnings set for these expansion teams many new things are needed, one of those being a teams mascot. The Boston Bruins have a bear, the San Jose Sharks have a shark.. but what do the ''Kraken'' and Golden Knights have??
Fans were sure the Golden Knights had to have the most random mascot, as they announced their mascot will be named chance, and also a reptile (dragon), which has nothing to do with the Golden 'Knights'.
The Seattle Kraken are sure giving Vegas a run for their money in the worst mascot race, as they have announced their mascots name will be..
''Buoy'' the troll, yes, you read that right. Buoy the troll is the Seattle Krakens mascot name, nothing to do with the Seahorse that is their logo, or the sea, or anything to do with Seattle. Check out the photo below...
