  1. Dudes better come out guns blazing if my Europe-gang alarm rings on 2:45 am on a workday

  2. Hope they open with some signs of life after that lifeless 3rd vs. the Wings…They just about smashed the hope tank… 😒

  3. Just need 23 points in 14 games. That’s less than 2 points per game, no problem.

  4. Whippet27

    Dylan Cozens will have a big night. He’s only 1500 miles from Whitehorse Yukon, so it’s like a home game for him.

  5. Surely they will have to beat the kraken at some point in history. Maybe tonight is that night

  6. PrinciplesRK

    Bold prediction: we lose tonight and everyone is sad and then they go 3-0 against Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary and everyone is back on board

  7. StartButtonPress

    Good luck, have fun.

    I’m guessing 2-2 on the west trip

  8. AgeOfTheExpandingMan

    Hey, bro, pass that hopium pipe my way
