Seattle Kraken: Can They Pull off the Upset against the Dallas Stars?

The Seattle Kraken entered the NHL this season as an expansion team and have had a rollercoaster of a season. The Stars are favorites to win this series. However, the Kraken have shown glimpses of their potential throughout the season, and fans are wondering if they can pull off an upset against the Stars.

Dallas’ Experience and Toughness

The Dallas Stars, on the other hand, are a seasoned team with playoff experience. They have a talented roster, including captain Jamie Benn, forward Joe Pavelski, and winger Jason Robertson. They also have a gritty and physical style of play that can wear down opponents. 

Seattle’s Hope: Will They Continue Their Momentum?

Seattle has momentum on their side heading into the playoffs, and they will need to continue their strong play to have a chance against Dallas. They have a balanced scoring attack, with Jaden Schwartz leading the way. Goalie Philipp Grubauer has also been solid and a big reason why they’re still playing.

The Kraken will need to play a disciplined game and avoid taking penalties against Dallas’ dangerous power play. They will also need to find a way to neutralize Pavelski, who has been on fire lately, scoring four goals in Game 4 to lead the Stars to a 5-4 overtime win.

Final Thoughts: Who Will Win the Series?

As much as fans want to believe in the Kraken, it’s hard to bet against the Stars’ experience and toughness. Dallas is still favored to win the series, even after their Game 4 scare. However, Seattle has shown throughout the season that they can be a dangerous team when they’re firing on all cylinders. This series could go either way, but for now, it looks like Dallas is still the safer bet.
