New season, new running playlist on Spotify (I know, I know...) of what I've played at games this year:

Now that the season is *officially* over, here's some 'Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes' by Fall Out Boy from the last home game so we can all sit in our feels about the length of time before more Kraken hockey

Good day to leap over the Penguins, so seemed appropriate to drop some of 'Leap Year' by

9 innings of shootouts, but rooting for the home team all the while, so it seems appropriate to play 'Watching All Your Friends Get Rich' by local superstars The Home Team

So, here's the deal: there's a few whiffed notes in this one, but I'm choosing to blame that on the panicked start as I was in the middle of explaining 'So there's an Eeli Tolvanen specific thing...' on comms when I got the whistle to start playing. In any event, on meillä...

Since today is Trans Day of Visibility (you are seen and you are loved!) and Thursday was Pride Night, seems appropriate to share some 'Immaterial' by SOPHIE on this sunny Sunday afternoon!

Also, these past 8 days have required burning the midnight oil to get through 5 games, a day job, and making sure my dog and wife don't forget what I look like, but the midnight oil has lasted! So here's '8 Days (Of Hannukah)' by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings

Welp, that's a wrap on another season for me. I'll post my full set list in a couple days after I get it sorted but in the mean time, I still can't believe they let me do this. Grateful for the opportunity, the team I get to be a part of, and for everyone who's said 'hey'

The boys are getting well and getting points again, so looks like we've successfully said 'Down with the Sickness' (and I'm not Disturbed about it)

AND because this was the last game during Women's History Month and I haven't been able to stop listening to the actual version of this song since a photographer I follow on IG posted it, heres 'GIRL$' by Stand Atlantic/PVRIS/Bruses (ft. someone's ringtone that kind of lined up?)

Well, it would appear we didn't quite have Kenough to send Vegas crying back to the desert, but if it's any consolation you can laugh at my questionable toque and headset combo (forgot my usual hat today, but looking a fool is my gift to you)

We *could* talk about the game, or we could talk about a topic of greater import: the dearth of irregular meters in arena music. So to combat that, here's '15 Step' by Radiohead (the '15' in the 3.141592653589 represented by song titles/album names in the setlist this evening)

'Why do you make me hate Boston

Last thing for today: I apologize, I sincerely thought that playing 'Skinner & The Superintendent' during goalie matchups would ruin Stuuu-ARRRT's roast, but lamentably I have to admit, he steams a good ham.

I don't have a clever caption for this, it's a bit quiet because tech gremlins, and I accidentally swapped the order of the bass riff (To err is human? To forgive....), but is that going to stop me from sharing '99 Luftballoons' by Nena with you? Apparently not!

I know 'All You Wanted' was a Kraken win for the last home game, but you can't always get what you want. Maybe the *real* victory was the friends we made along the way. But in any event, enjoy this Michelle Branch classic.

How do you bounce back after a skid?
'Like That'

I much prefer the shutout, but it's important to me that you all know the post-away-goal hit if needed was going to be 'One Day More' from Les Mis....because today was....well, you get it

Much like Inspector Clouseau, today's game was not without some comedies of error. Unfortunately *unlike* Inspector Clouseau, it didn't manage to somehow work out fine anyway...

Strategy for this game? A Simple Plan: walk out with two points, singing 'I'm Just a Kid' [and life is great because the Kraken just won]'

If there's one thing you're just not gonna do, it's score on a breakaway against Daccord. Just save your energy, it's not gonna happen.
