Kraken vs Golden Knights Rivalry Insights

Here are some fried facts (hot takes and fun tidbits) about the Seattle Kraken vs. Vegas Golden Knights rivalry in the NHL:

1. Expansion Team Rivalry?

The Golden Knights (2017) and Kraken (2021) are the NHL’s two newest teams, making this a battle of the league’s freshest franchises.

Vegas had instant success (Stanley Cup Final in Year 1), while Seattle took two seasons to make the playoffs (2023).

2. Playoff History: Short But Spicy

Their first-ever playoff meeting was in the 2023 Western Conference First Round—Vegas won 4-1, en route to their Stanley Cup championship.

Mark Stone (VGK) was a Kraken killer, with 6 points in 5 games, while Jordan Eberle (SEA) led Seattle with 5 points.

3. The 'Original Misfit' vs. The New Kids

Vegas built its core from the 2017 Expansion Draft (Marchessault, Karlsson, Smith) and won a Cup with them.

Seattle took a more analytical approach, building depth before making big moves (like trading for Matty Beniers).

4. T-Mobile Arena vs. Climate Pledge Arena

Vegas has one of the loudest home atmospheres in the NHL (complete with pre-game sword fights).

Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena is the greenest in the league (carbon-neutral ice, rainwater collection).

5. The William Karlsson 'Revenge' Angle

William Karlsson (VGK) was left exposed by Seattle in the 2021 Expansion Draft, but Vegas made a side deal to keep him. He then torched the Kraken in the playoffs.

6. Adin Hill: Kraken’s Nightmare

Vegas goalie Adin Hill (a former Sharks backup) went 4-1 against Seattle in the 2023 playoffs with a .932 SV%.

7. Seattle’s Revenge Tour?

The Kraken swept the Golden Knights in the 2023-24 regular season (3-0-0), outscoring them 12-5.

But can they beat them when it actually matters (playoffs)?

8. The Battle of the Mascots

Vegas: Chance the Gila Monster (a nod to Nevada’s desert wildlife).

Seattle: Buoy the Troll (inspired by Fremont’s famous troll statue).

9. Front Office Connections

Kelly McCrimmon (VGK GM) was almost Seattle’s GM before staying in Vegas.

Ron Francis (SEA GM) built a slower, defensive team—very different from Vegas’s high-speed attack.

10. Future of the Rivalry?

With Vegas remaining a Cup contender and Seattle rising, this could become a Pacific Division blood feud.

🔥 Final Fried Take: Vegas owns the playoff legacy, but Seattle is hungry to flip the script. Will the Kraken sink the Golden Knights’ ship next time? Stay tuned.

Who do you think wins the next big matchup? 🏒⚔️
