KRAKEN (29-26-9) at CANUCKS (20-37-8)

10 p.m. ET; CBC, SN, CITY, KONG, KING 5, KHN/Prime

This sums up my feeling about this year. We have gone from what will take to make the playoffs?.....How much will it cost to re-sign Quinn?......to.....how many draft picks do we have and will Petey be around after the draft?

Are we the new Buffalo? I mean, their shitty ownership actually has a playoff team this year. Can the Nucks at least be a .500 team for the rest of the season? Jimmi, do we still get raises if the team sucks? Can the Nucks win 2 in a row for the first time since Dec 19-20th?

Status report

McMann will make his Kraken debut on the top line after being acquired in a trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs on March 6; he did not play the past three games waiting for his work visa to process. … The Kraken flew into Vancouver on Saturday morning after weather delays prevented them from leaving Seattle on Friday. … Hoglander, a forward, will be a healthy scratch for a second straight game. … Tolopilo will make his second consecutive start in goal.

Game Day Battle Hymn

Long end to the season when your team is dead last in the league. Jimmi started this genre and I am more than happy to follow his lead.
