Somebody get Liam Neeson ... 'cause it's time to release the Kraken!!!
Seattle's new NHL team just revealed it's new name and look on Thursday ... officially going with the legendary sea monster.
FYI, a "kraken" is like a giant, angry octopus.
Other options were thrown around -- including the Sockeyes -- but the org. says it listened to the fans and gave them what they wanted.
"215,000 fan votes, 50+ fan forums & speaking engagements and over 12 months of social media listening have supported this phenomenon," the team said on the site.
