Let's be honest. It's gonna suck. The Vegas Golden Knights have been a wagon for a while, for various reasons {*coff* LTIR abuse *coff*} and we all know the outcome of tonight's game. The Canucks are going to lose, get their keisters handed to them on a platter. Hammered, dominated, blown up, destroyed. Dig out the thesaurus, it's going to be ugly, nasty, unpleasant.
But if you're going to suffer through the chaos, have some fun.
Here's the TANKO for tonight's game. If you fill out any line, drop your card into Bluesky into the #canucks hashtag. At least someone might win tonight, right?
