Here's the new one from Emei, hopefully the Kraken are back to the Regularly Scheduled Program of winning on Wednesday!

I play music sometimes, lately mostly at Kraken or Mariners games. Opinions my own, etc, etc.
I guess if there was ever a game to break this one out, it was at tonight's versus the Flames (Buddy's team in the song) with *checks notes* 18 penalties totalling 67 penalty minutes and 3 game misconducts across both teams?
So this is from a few weeks ago but it's been a busy summer and I haven't gotten around to much internet-ing. Anyway, shout out to @nikostratis.com whose phenomenal work I've been really enjoying this summer and who reminded me of the formative role Yankee Hotel Foxtrot had in my life
1-0 so far, if the pattern holds she may be onto something. (For now, just Sundays tho)
Mariners have an organist for every home game challenge
Pretty sure Ebs looked back and thought about passing that to Kokko before hitting the empty net
Alright, it's Saturday night, the Seattle OGs know that means one thing: Almost Live! (The theme to which, especially the second version in later seasons, absolutely rips). (My research skills weren't able to find who wrote or recorded it, so if anyone knows, hit me up)
Fun one against the 'Canes, here's some Iron Maiden
Heard Joe Doria play this one at the Pioneer Square Jazz Walk last week, thought I'd give it a shot.
Well, definitely some parts of that game I would black out of my memory, but some hustle in the third almost clawed it back! We'll see what Sunday looks like!
More sinking than swimming by Long Island tonight, but don't worry Isles fans, it'll get washed away with time
For anyone local to Seattle, I'm part of Seattle Rock Lottery 14 to help support the Vera Project, if you want to see me play some music not at a hockey game, roll though! (Code 'LOTTO' should get you $14 off tix) dice.fm/event/ww5xex...

I'll believe in a third period comeback on Pride Night... (This was, for the record between the first and second Seattle goals)
Really 'Feeling This' dub streak, let's keep it rolling (exciting game, didn't want to blink and risk missing a second of it...)
Clean New Sweaters on the ice, but some Dirty Old Bossa Nova on the organ (by The Howard Roberts Quartet, but notably sampled in 'The Jam' by A Tribe Called Quest )
Raising the [ice] Skate to a Kraken win against Philly with this number by @sad13.horse
Lots of folks nowadays talkin bout the fate of Ophelia, forgetting The Band was putting in the hard work way back in '75 asking where she'd gone. (Penned by Robbie Robertson whose family, like the Kraken's own Brandon Montour, hails from Six Nations, fitting for Indigenous Peoples Night in The Deep)
'A heartbreak in mid-December' is right, Neck Deep Here's hoping its not a long lonely December for the dub against the Kings and it gets a buddy soon
Also a while back someone requested 'All Caps' by Madvillain so here's that (Perhaps a bit on the jaunty side, but sometimes fitting stuff between a whistle and the puck drop requires a little creative license)
Kraken back in the dub column? Now that's Something Wonderful. And to do it in OT? This year, thats the SEAway
Lauded all across the ridgelines, fjords, and forests of the Northwest, here's one from @eric_howk called 'RENO' ahead of his stop at Chop Suey next month
Wait, what month is it? Oh right. It's 'December' (By Collective Soul)
Well, it's Thanksgiving, so here's a mercifully short and not 18 minute long version of Arlo Guthrie's 'Alice's Restaurant Massacree'
I don't have a clever caption for this one, I just think RAYE is neat, here's 'WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!'
50 years and 1 day ago, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald and her crew went down in Lake Superior off the shores of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. 49 years and 11 months ago, Gordon Lightfoot recorded a song about it. Today seemed as good an occasion as any to play it on an organ at a hockey game.
Sharks? Too aggressive for my taste. So here's a more friendly Phish instead, 'Character Zero' (featuring a weird click of something bouncing everytime I hit the sample pad, but you can't win em all)
You can take the boy out of Chicagoland but you can't take the love of Chance the Rapper out of the boy. Always try to rep some Chano when the Blackhawks are in town (In this case 'Tree' and via the hook on this one, 'Video' by India.Arie)
Bonus snippets from this evening, in case you had a Peso Pluma shortage I guess ('Ella Baila Sola' by Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma)
