CANUCKS (2-2-0) @ Oil (2-3-0)
6:00 p.m. PT; SNP
It's the final winner-take-all division final preseason series! So much is riding on this home and home matchup. So much stuff, we're not allowed to say even how unimportant the stuff is.
Is this a division playoff rematch or a preview of a division playoff rematch? Good and useless question.
The Nucks started the preseason strong, dipped and drooped a little and have lost 2 straight. Oil started ok, got beat badly 3 times in a row, as is their wont and finally beat our new nemesis, the Krakling.
Today's game is happening up in the ice palace in the Place of Rogers. They're like all over the place. Some say they even own their sports TV network.
Today's the day. The day we see JT in a Nucks uni for the 1st time. This preseason. Exciting! Maybe. Taco could be saving him until after the pretend-Olympics-nations break.

Game Day 'Battle' Hymn
It's the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation here in this former British colony. Why not a song of reconciliation.
