Are the Seattle Kraken actually legit? Boomer, Pinder and Rhett Warrener take a closer look at one of the biggest surprises of the 2026-27 NHL season as Seattle prepares to face the Calgary Flames for the third time this year. The Kraken have already beaten Calgary twice by identical 6-1 scores, outscoring the Flames 12-2, and now sit at 8-4-1 with 17 points through their first 13 games, the best start in franchise history. That's a pretty remarkable opening month for a team not many people expected to be near the top of the NHL standings. Seattle has scored 48 goals while allowing 46, with Kaapo Kakko producing 10 points and players like Matty Beniers, Jordan Eberle, Brandon Montour and young Berkly Catton giving the Kraken plenty to talk about. But are they actually as good as their record suggests? Despite their success, Seattle has struggled to protect leads, surrendering multi-goal advantages in the third period in three of its last four games. With the Calgary Flames looking for revenge after two ugly losses and trying to bounce back from their Battle of Alberta shutout against the Edmonton Oilers, the boys discuss what has changed in Seattle, whether the Kraken can keep winning and if this team is a legitimate playoff contender in the Pacific Division. It's still early, but how many people honestly saw the Kraken starting the season like this?

Dylan Larkin's time with the Detroit Red Wings appears to be over, but how does this whole situation finally end? Boomer, Pinder and Rhett Warrener react to the latest developments after Detroit suspended its former captain without pay on October 29 following his decision to stop playing until he's traded. What a year it's been for Larkin, who requested a trade after the Red Wings missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the 10th consecutive season, lost the captaincy in September and has now reached a complete standstill with the organization he's spent his entire 12-year NHL career with. Larkin has 649 points in 818 career games, scored a career-high 34 goals last season and still has five years remaining on his eight-year, $69.6 million contract with an $8.7 million annual cap hit. According to reports, he's expanded his list of acceptable trade destinations from three teams to 10, but interim general manager Shawn Horcoff isn't willing to move him without getting a return that helps Detroit. Meanwhile, Larkin is reportedly losing more than $41,000 per day while suspended. The boys discuss how things got to this point, whether Larkin has handled the situation the right way, what the Red Wings should expect in a trade and how much longer this can possibly drag on. With Larkin refusing to play another game for Detroit, it feels like the relationship is beyond repair. Now it's just a matter of figuring out where he goes next.
