By Bo Crouch ~ Axess Sports SEATTLE — The Portland Fire took a calculated swing on upside Friday, selecting the contract of guard Nika Mühl from the Seattle Storm during the 2026 WNBA Expansion Draft. Mühl, originally drafted No. 14 overall by Seattle in the 2024 WNBA Draft, saw limited action in her rookie season, appearing in 16 games and averaging 2.8 minutes. Her development was then stalled by a significant knee injury — a torn ACL and meniscus suffered overseas while pl

With the regular season winding down, the Kraken return to Climate Pledge Arena on Thursday night needing more than just a strong effort — they need points. Especially on the heels of a tough road trip. Standing in their way are the Utah Mammoth, a team currently holding a Western Conference wild-card position and one that has already had Seattle’s number this season. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m

IMG CBS SPORTS By Bo Crouch ~ Axess Sports RENTON, Wash. —  The Seattle Seahawks didn’t wait for the market to catch up—they set it. In a franchise-defining move, Seattle signed star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba to a four-year, $168.6 million contract extension, making him the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history, sources confirmed Monday.

IMG New Amsterdam Vodka By Bo Crouch NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The margins are shrinking, the stakes are rising, and Wednesday night at Bridgestone Arena delivered a preview of what playoff hockey looks like in March. The Nashville Predators defeated the Seattle Kraken 3–1 in a game defined by patience, structure, and execution—three qualities that separated a desperate contender from a team still searching for consistency down the stretch.

IMG PWHL By Bo Crouch The Seattle Torrent kept things tight early but couldn’t contain a late push from Montréal, falling 4–1 in a game that slipped away in the second half despite a brief third-period response. Seattle leaned on structure in a scoreless opening frame, matching Montréal’s pace and limiting high-danger chances. Both teams traded possessions, but neither side could find the finishing touch as goaltenders controlled the tempo through 20 minutes. The game opened

Puck drop at Climate Pledge Arena comes at a critical moment for Seattle, which has stumbled in recent outings and is fighting to stay in the wild-card picture.

But in recent years, Jordan has made an impact in a very different arena — the high-speed world of NASCAR Cup Series. In 2020, Jordan shocked both sports and motorsports communities by co-founding 23XI Racing with longtime NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin. The team debuted in 2021 and i

By Bo Crouch SEATTLE — Sometimes the biggest impact on a hockey team doesn’t come from the biggest star, but from the player willing to do the gritty work in the corners, battle along the boards, and inject life into a lineup. For the Seattle Kraken, that role will increasingly be filled by forward Bobby McMann. Since joining Seattle’s lineup, McMann has quickly become a noticeable presence scoring 3 goals in two games, but not necessarily because of scoring totals, but becau

By Bo Crouch Axess Sports For decades, the Pro Bowl was supposed to be the NFL’s celebration of greatness — a warm-weather gathering of the league’s brightest stars just one week after the biggest game in football. But somewhere between half-speed tackles, player opt-outs, and falling television ratings, the Pro Bowl slowly lost its place in the American sports calendar. Today, the once-prestigious showcase has largely been reduced to a rebranded exhibition, its former identi

The Avalanche struck first when Martin Nečas buried a wrist shot at 3:45 of the first period , giving the visitors an early 1–0 lead

SEATTLE —  In a game defined by discipline, patience, and goaltending brilliance, the Seattle Kraken delivered one of their most complete defensive efforts of the season, edging the Carolina Hurricanes 2–1 on Monday night at Climate Pledge Arena.

The Kraken find themselves in the sixth position in the division but are coming off a nice win against the Devils. The Capitals enter this game in the middle of a rough road trip where they are just one and four in the last five.

This season has been up and down for the Huskies mounting some impressive wins and a few surprising losses. Although the 2025 campaign will keep them out of the CFB Playoffs they were still good enough to get into a Bowl Game. This year they will head to the LA Bowl facing the Mountain West Conference Champion Boise State. Washington is 4-2 all time but 1-1 in bowl games and haven't faced each other since 2023 when the Huskies dominated 56-19 behind Penix Jr. and company. Bot

The right guard position has been a weak link for the Seahawks all season with Anthony Bradford ranking near the bottom of the league at the position (PFF75 of 79). Pass blocking has been his biggest issue at times completely missing his assignment with just a 29.6 pass blocking grade. This has been allowing free rushers and leaving Sam Darnold scrambling to stay upright contributing to costly mistakes and turnovers. Bradford's penalties have dropped this year but are still a
