What sucks is that since teams don't play enough divisional games anymore(thanks to the huge divisions), I feel like the only way this rivalry is ever going to be one is with a playoff matchup and who know how many years that will take.

A+ gif and reference. That movie is such schlocky fun.
If we win tomorrow, the Cup is ours. If we lose, the season's over.
Pre-season is too long and it means nothing. Starters are going at 60-65% max intensity, players shaking off the rust, the play is choppy, just a warm up for the regular season, shouldn’t take too much from a player having an outstanding pre-season, Sergei Shirokov scored 7 points in 4 preaseason games, everyone thought he was the second coming of Pavel Bure, his NHL regular season career lasted 8 games.

Expect to see a lot of Raty and Lekkerimäki in these pre-season games.
5 games in 7 nights then a 3.5 day break to play 1 more pre season game, 5 days before the season opener ffs
There’s absolutely no good reason why we should play our first pre season game 3 days after the first league pre season game being played.

That's the spirit! After all he has sucked hard in his Canuck career so far, right?

I wonder if this is the byproduct of doing the "Young Stars Classic."
In either case, this is an exciting opportunity to play guys like Max Sasson and Jet Woo non-stop!

Did not need to click play.
The song is etched in my brain from childhood and just seeing the logo started those synths going

This song is one of the most killer examples of great song vs. movie ratio.
Although I enjoyed the movie - the song is absolutely epic.

I'm guessing we see a fairly veteran lineup given it's on home ice. Conversely, I expect we'll see a desperate group of players on the Kraken looking to earn a job. And many years watching pre-season hockey have taught me to always favour that team to win - hungry guys playing for their jobs/careers usually take the cake over established vets coasting through a pre-season trying not to get injured (unless you're Conor Garland and you just go balls out in scrimmages)
