Kraken Round One GAME THREE GAMETHREAD

Sports

The Kraken has returned to its lair. For the first time in Seattle since the year 1924, there will be postseason hockey played there. Unfortunately for them, they were unable to prevail against the Vancouver Millionaires, and as a result, no club from Vancouver advanced further in the playoffs. This is the last example of what a goaltender used to look like back in those days. At that time, masks did not exist, and the PCHA was the location where the "penalty shot" was first developed. People who competed in sports in the past were widely regarded as being completely…

Who is Millie Bobby Brown engaged to

Celebrity

Okay, let's get one thing out of the way: I do not wish that I had gotten engaged at the age of 19, like Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown recently did to boyfriend Jake Bongiovi, but that's mainly because my pool of suitors at the time was pretty much limited to whoever hadn't paired off yet at the frat party and wasn't actively giving active "I will murder you, and there will eventually be a gripping campus documentary about your death" vibes.
