They played shutdown defense, flummoxing the Avalanche’s heavy artillery with a quick, aggressive, structured game plan. Last week, in the Kraken’s first playoff appearance in franchise history, the second-year expansion club dominated the opening game. If MacKinnon taking over this series now feels inevitable, it certainly didn’t five periods ago when the Kraken had the Avalanche reeling. This sequence by MacKinnon was genuinely hilarious /ydSOMsambU He’s left a trail of broken ankles in his wake, the way he did in Game 3, with a two-goal effort punctuated by one of the sickest individual shifts you’ll ever see in the Stanley Cup playoffs:

The first documented observation of the dreamcatcher was in 1929, among the Ojibwe (known then as the Chippewa), by ethnographer Frances Densmore. Yet, legends surrounding the dreamcatcher exist in nearly all tribes across North America, and most of those legends revolve around similar themes: Spirits, spiders, and most prominently, dreams.
