Five reasons why Seattle Kraken, Sharks will have great NHL rivalry

The NHL's newest franchise officially has its name: Meet the Seattle Kraken.

Seattle will begin play in the 2021-2022 season and join the Pacific Division. Just as they did when the Vegas Golden Knights joined the league, the Sharks soon will have a new rivalry.

And it should be a fun one.

San Jose and Vegas already have given us multiple instantly classic games. There's no love lost between the two teams, and gloves are bound to come off every game. We can only hope the same is true when the Sharks and Kraken first square off.
