Kraken and Huskies Win On New Year's

I thought when the Seattle Kraken won
Monday afternoon  at T-Mobile Park  
over Las Vegas  3-0 it was a good sign
for the Huskies in the Sugar Bowl  which
turned out right.

It was a big win for the Kraken beating
the Golden Knights  who were last year's 
Stanley  Cup champions and are tied
with Vancouver as the leaders in the 
Pacific division.  Vancouver had a poor
season year has been a big surprise.

The Kraken got off to a poor start 
have played well of late. They are
15-14-9. They are 4th place in the Pacific 
division and just outside of the playoffs.
They have received points in their last
nine games. A shutout  like this against 
one of the best teams in the league  is 
a good sign and hopefully keep them
going.
The Huskies beat the Texas Longhorns in
the semifinals for the college national 
championship 37-31. It was a close
game with it going down to the last
play of the game. Dillon Johnson was
hurt under a minute left in the game
for the Huskies so the clock had to
stop. Dillon  had not been  injured the
the clock would have run down meaning 
the Huskies could have kneeled on 
fourth down instead the Huskies  had
to punt to Texas which gave them a chance
to win. The Huskies  defense was able to
hold the Longhorns including a ball being
hit out of the receiver's hand in the end
zone with no time left in the game.

The Huskies now play Michigan  in the
National Championship game  against 
Michigan next Monday in Houston. 
Michigan beat Alabama  27-20  before
the Huskies in the Rose Bowl. Another
close game as the game went into 
overtime. Michigan is favored by five
points, however, the Huskies are used
to being underdogs. Go Dawgs!
