Why are you a Kraken fan?

Grew up in Seattle, got into Roller hockey in the 90's. If anybody ever watched Airborne that was my jam. My first ice hockey game was a T-birds vs Tacoma Rockets, where there was 5 fights, I caught a puck and we won in OT(6-5, I think back in Petr Nedved days). I was fucking hooked on Hockey. Paul Kariya caught my eye winning the Hobey Baker and followed him to Anaheim Ducks. Ducks have been my squad ever since. I switched to playing ice hockey in college and never went back to Roller. Now that we have local team, I am full in on the Kraken and scored seas ok n tickets. I will still keep an eye on the Ducks, but with their current rebuild, I am choosing to not get into the newer players. Once Getzlaf retires, it will be easy to focus solely on the Kraken. When the Ducks come to town, I definitely will be rocking my Kraken Jersey!!!!

One thing I somewhat worried about with watching Hockey. Since there was no local team, not many people talked about the games or the scores or anything, so I would DVR alot of games and watch them on my own time. It will be hard to not see the Kraken game score now.
