On Sunday night one of the biggest upsets in the NHL happened in the Mile High City of Denver. The Seattle Kraken, in their second year of existence, knocked off the reigning Stanley Cup Champion Colorado Avalanche on their home ice. As heavy underdogs, the Kraken were widely expected to be dealt with in short order by Colorado. Instead, the Avalanche were pushed to 7 games and lost to Seattle.
This continues a recent trend in sports where the Emerald City continues to absolutely dominate Denver in all sports. Of course, the first and biggest example has to be the Seattle Seahawks’ complete annihilation of Peyton Manning’s record-setting Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. The greatest single season offense in NFL history was held to eight measly points after three full quarters in a 43-8 embarrassment.
