One of the reasons I think the crowd was sort of silent was that none of the players have a history in that town (there hasn't been time for any "favorites to develop"). Ryan Reaves, David Backes, and Ryan Orielly always got the cheers they did in St. Louis because we all had fond memories of them playing for us.
A lot of rowdier sports fans who make noise and establish being a tough place to play are not upper-middle class yuppies or tech nerds. Seattle lacks a critical mass of blue collar people who put the fear in away teams. Everyone knows your city is a bunch of introverted dorks. I almost took a job there out of college until i saw how expensive it was. I ended up staying east and moved to Philly
Seattle is relatively new to the game. More Canucks fans converting to Kraken fans. Vancouver is really quiet too. Not many stars on Seattle like Vegas had too. I think in a few years it'll be popping like how the Seahawks can get
It shouldn't lay on the success of brand new NHL Seattle Kraken organization because before relocation to Oklahoma city Seattle Supersonics resume speaks for itself.
@@shawnauddette8199 What I mean is that the Sonics should be brought back as an expansion team with history just like NFL and MLS both did with the Cleveland Browns and San Jose Earthquakes, respectively.
Seattle seems like a place that needs more professional sports teams. The only that comes to my mind naturally are the Seahawks. An NHL team is a great start and a basketball team is a possibility.
@@liveinfinityprod.9525 they should do something with that baseball team,they have been pathetic since they became a franchise in 1977. Bad ownership since
97 years after the metropolitans left Seattle the the krakens are now Seattle's new team same city with different arena it's not same arena since the metropolitans did.
I expected more life from the crowd. I’m not mad nor disappointed, but a bit shocked tbh. Then again I heard some bad things like the prices and the food.
Very cool video, Jen. It’s funny reading the comments. From someone who was absolutely in the building that night…the crowd was fantastic. They went bonkers for their new team. Unfortunately, that didn’t translate well over the broadcast. Nobody was booing Grubauer…they were chanting GRRUUUUUUU! And I didn’t forget Nathan Bastian’s name, lol. We had a miss communication between our on-ice staff member and the in-game director which caused the pause. When it was corrected she called for Bastian’s name to be called. *listen carefully to the call, you’ll hear a female voice call “14-14” in the background.
5 games in Oilers fans acting like they won the cup and didn’t get sent out in the first round. Watch how quiet you losers be some once your pretending team starts to struggle. Hng yourself
This is the saddest shit I’ve seen, it’s nearly silent. I think the Seattle Krakens deserve to be hyped and deserve to be better then they are this year.
Did anyone hear Gary Bettman said Seattle Kraken is the 37th franchise of the NFL? There should be 6 teams went straight to defunct, neither relocated nor merged.
@@manmorales16 Honestly it's a cheap shot to play music from anyone signed by or associated with Ed Banger (Daft Punk, Justice, SebastiAn, Kavinsky, ect) but come on.... who DOESN'T love French Touch?
@@EdgarAllanPogo hockey is badass! I like it a lot better than football who stop every minute and are continuously playing definitely gonna be watching it more :D
I'll bet if hockey returned to Quebec City or Hartford it wouldn't be this quiet....but don't worry...Bettman will announce another expansion team soon (probably in New Mexico to get a rival for the Coyotes) because he needs the fee to save a watered down league...
No smoke? No giant inflatable tentacles? No water reflection projections? No epic creepy eye opening at center ice? Who is their art director? What's the point of having a stupid name if you don't have fun with it. (still bitter they didn't go with Sockeyes) Nothing about this looks like Seattle or a Kraken. Thanks for helping me decide to never go to a game.
Why isn`t the crowd much much louder and the players more pumped up for this to many corporate tickets in the stands people sitting on their hands holding their beers and food to clap stomp their feet mouth full of food to yell and scream I do not get it should be way way louder non stop cheering and yelling this is the very first home game for an expansion team
No worries. Seattle’s crowd was very loud. Someone did a bad job at espn and this broadcast sounded super quiet. As someone watching the CBC broadcast, I can confirm it was very loud

Go blues 👍🏽💯
I live in Seattle, the seats are so effing expensive, no wonder the crowd is dead
@@EviIjordan poor people cheer harder, the aristocracy can’t be bothered
They're pissed at this lame opening ceremony. Vegas did it better for the Kraken and it was an away game lmaooo
It's probably like Toronto, corporations owns a lot of seats.
ye, bunch of tech boys with they amazon money

Its me or the crowd is dead for their first home game?
Those fans could be new to hockey and don't know their players very well
They must have muddled it I am suprised it was that quiet
Yeah no kidding eh?
I think most of them are new

They don’t deserve our Bastian :(

Hopefully, the success of the NHL's Kraken will lead to the NBA bringing back the Sonics in Seattle.

Imagine being a part of an expansion team and you come out of the tunnel for the first time and it's almost silent
stop hating
@@tyrous1743 lmfaooo how is that hating ? It’s clearly quite over there compared to other expansions/relocations.
Shhhh…the Kraken sleeps, don’t wake it. Or maybe it’s in a coma
Audio feed on this is from the PA system not picking up as much noise
Bullshit it was ridiculously quite
Gonna miss Tanev and McCann in Pittsburgh.
Wow no energy in that building what so ever. This is the first ever home game and it feels like a game in the juniors
They cut out like 95% of the crowd noise because it was like static. I swear i was deaf when i was there
Have y’all seen the menu? They sell roasted bone marrow. Who wants that at a game.
Also water is $9
Bone marrows not bad I’ve tried it
@@oilers4life780 I like bone marrow but that's super weird to have at a hockey game
Better than watered down hotdogs and cheez whizz nachos
The water’s $9 because it’s artisan water collected from roof rainwater
I'm sure they have vegan options. Barf
I am a bolts fan. Y’all got a great player In Yanni. Good luck this season.
97 years after the metropolitans left Seattle the the krakens are now Seattle's new team same city with different arena it's not same arena since the metropolitans did.
Lol judging from this crowd reaction, this franchise is moving in 5 years.
They had to wait 45 years for a team (they were supposed to get a team in the canceled 1976 expansion).
They’re new hockey fans. They don’t know anyone on their team.
No worries. The fans were much louder on the SN broadcast.
Maybe all that mask crap
And go watch when they scored. Crowd was so loud you couldn’t hear goal horn
Habs fans were louder for Alex Belzile, who has since been sent down to Laval and wasn’t even playing in the home opener.
I expected more life from the crowd. I’m not mad nor disappointed, but a bit shocked tbh. Then again I heard some bad things like the prices and the food.
It’s Seattle. What else would you expect
@@Pattyboytheking fair point
lots of people here disappointed the crowd was so quiet
i was there, that shit was loud - it just didn't come through whatever this was recorded on
I was there, the crowd sucked
@@blank-dr2kx psh you wish you was
@@blank-dr2kx bro hockey fans r loud I mean very loud and that's coming from a basketball fan

takes me right back to 2007
I live in Washington and I'm an Edmonton fan and a thunderbirds fan but its cool we have the NHL in Washington now
Mark Giordano is a team captain of Seattle Kraken.
This is the player introductions of the inaugural team of NHL, the Seattle Kraken!
Yeah I think we all got that from the title, you don't need to tell us what the video is about
Now he's signed for 800k with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Very cool video, Jen. It’s funny reading the comments. From someone who was absolutely in the building that night…the crowd was fantastic. They went bonkers for their new team.

Those jersey colors are so sick.
I wonder when Seattle will have an NBA team again, it's the only major sport they're missing now.
“# 37 Yanni Gourde “
Seattle fans : 🦗🦗🦗
Tampa fans : Yanni’s The Alternate !!! LFGO
Ladies and gentlemen, your 2021 Seattle Kraken!
Can’t wait to say leafless in Seattle when they play the laughs
Lol 😂
Nice one lol (leaf fan as well)
5 games in Oilers fans acting like they won the cup and didn’t get sent out in the first round. Watch how quiet you losers be some once your pretending team starts to struggle. Hng yourself
@@SchuperNaturalistic 🧂
@@uaho180 hng yurself
14 videos in 1 day, you can calm down jen lol
That arena looks insane!
Yanni looks so good with the A 🥺
Is it the high roof that’s taking the crowd out of it?
Their first game at Vegas had WAYYY better theatrics for the opening ceremony. The knight fighting the kraken was siccc! This, this is just lame 👎
The owners of kraken are too cheap to put on a good show, it's all about profit unlike Golden Knights .
@@GalaxyChris640 what r u talking about cheap they can put a good show on I mean there just starting give them time
@@jamesdukes1869 I know some of the owners. So uncreative. Hence the stupid name and the lame generic everything else.

Why is the crowd so quiet? Also love the awkward pause with “Number 14...............Nathan Bastion”
Damn announcer forgot the dudes name lmao
It’s quiet because it’s the mic feed
The song is Genesis by Justice. I’ll give them credit for a pretty sick song choice.
It should have ended with Liam Neeson saying: Release the Kraken!
This is my favorite sports channel. 😂
Lol seems the announcer forgot number 14s name
Awesome
Genesis by Justice sounds badass
I’m a ranger fan but that was sick
This is the saddest shit I’ve seen, it’s nearly silent. I think the Seattle Krakens deserve to be hyped and deserve to be better then they are this year.
its just the audio, if you see their first goal footage fans were absolutely nuts u couldnt hear the goal horn
I just know Appletons missing the jets already
At least Poolman's doing fine.
Well this will be the hockey team I'll be a fan of since it's brand new and my first time watching hockey ever😊🏒
Silence like in a nirvana (badum-tss).
New team name is Seattle Grunge or Seattle Nirvanas (badum-tss).
The Kraken has returned to their home after it's completion of construction.
Thank you!
Team logo is pretty doggone cool.
imagine falling during this
Seattle, hope you're taking care of Grubauer!
Did u do this for the islanders when they played the 1st UBS game?
Did anyone hear Gary Bettman said Seattle Kraken is the 37th franchise of the NFL? There should be 6 teams went straight to defunct, neither relocated nor merged.
And people were saying this was going to be the loudest fan base and building in the league…..LOL

Love that color
The only good thing about all this is Justice playing
This was the first time I ever watched hockey and I got hyped justice playing lol

It's actually the Formula one soundtrack lmao god knows why they used that
@@blank-dr2kx oh really it is so amazing!!!
@@blank-dr2kx maybe they used that soundtrack because it sounds like a Seattle Kraken song!
@@TerriZandecki I doubt it since f1 has been around alot longer lol
Song is called Genesis by Justice. They're basically the little brother of Daft Punk, even being managed by the same guy.
Seattle first game , first loss and now first home game loss again! Lol
The house that Krak built.
Miss you gru and donskoi !
Imagine having the hansons in the stands
The Bell centre makes more noise during the intermission breaks than this crowd did lol
Appropriate intro song. Genesis, by Justice.
GENSIS FROM JUSTICE??? AWESOME WTFFF
great 5/5!
Too bad we'll never get Quebec Nordiques back, these players would have alot more fun.
They wouldn’t have fun paying the Canadian tax
Lol this team feel like a make a wish put together.
Nhl should have logos on there helmets like nfl instead of plain
Wow.......is there even a crowd there?at least they like Turbo
The Kraken's moving but the Fish are sleeping 😴.
How did Las Vegas and Phoenix get an NHL team before Seattle?
The original Winnipeg Jets moved to Phoenix in 1996, Vegas Golden Knights joined the NHL in 2017-2018.
"climate pledge arena" is such a dumb name... i know its owned by amazon, but thats cringe
Makes sense for a very liberal city. Lol
Should have been the kraken theme from potc
Most of the players looked so bored without a smile seems like they hated being there and being a kraken
Damn 😂🥴
Go Kraken!!!
*Seattle Squid perfect name*
Yay
All that excitement just to loose
We miss you yanni gourde
Captain as a first introduction man what a waste
I wish they saved him for last "AND FINALLY, YOUR CAPTAIN, NUMBER 5, MARK.... GIIIIOOORRRRRDANNNOOOOOOOOO!"
I think team should be in Quebec. Seattle nead basketball
Yall treat swartzy good now ya hear. LGB's
And we lost, lmao, what a great start…
I think the Kraken are going for more of a 3 year plan kind of thing. It will be hard to replicate what Vegas did.
Oughta sue Dunkin for false advertising they ain't out here
No smoke? No giant inflatable tentacles? No water reflection projections? No epic creepy eye opening at center ice? Who is their art director?

Lol crowd was far from dead, it's just the way it was broadcast. Watch the highlights--crowd is loud. It's Seattle.
Did they boo Grubauer? Or is it just me?
A year later now they crowd be cheering lols
I would have expected the Seattle crowd to be a lot more excited than that
They were more excited about the riots 😅😅 ... Not a hockey town at all!!!
So quiet that’s mad embarrassing. If I was there and Yanni came out I swear to god I’d be screaming like a banshee. Miss tf out of that guy
Number 14....
...
...
People saying shit about the crowd must feel real stupid now after seeing highlights of the game
Nordiques return would have been far more exciting
Well. That was depressing.
Pretty pathetic that the Vegas vs. Kraken intro in Vegas was better than the Krakens own home opener.
What’s Kraken my man ?

Kraken? More like Crickets
No worries. Seattle’s crowd was very loud. Someone did a bad job at espn and this broadcast sounded super quiet. As someone watching the CBC broadcast, I can confirm it was very loud
Lame crowd, cool jerseys
You know half the fans were out looting and rioting last week.
