Acknowledging the past has been a staple of the franchise well before they were known as the Kraken – whether it was Seattle’s history with teams in leagues other than the NHL like the Thunderbirds, Breakers, Totems and Ironmen, and of course the Metropolitans.

Seattle took a 3-1 win in Game 1 and had an early two-goal lead in Game 2 before watching the Avalanche rally for a 3-2 victory to knot the series.

It seems unlikely anyone who was at the Seattle Ice Arena for those games 104 years ago will be under the roof of Climate Pledge Arena on Saturday night when the Kraken host the Colorado Avalanche in Game 3 (10 p.m. Surely you remember the 1919 Stanley Cup Final between the Seattle Metropolitans and Montreal Canadiens.
