The Morning After

Tonight, the Vancouver Canucks play one of the most pivotal games in their franchise history.  Tonight is game 6 of their first round series against the Chicago Blackhawks.  I have always believed that a winning hockey team is a combination of a lot of things.  Strong offence, solid defence, coaching, depth, preparation… but let us not discount the all important, black magic.

This whole series, I have done my part crafting powerful audio incantations to try and get inside the heads of the Chicago Blackhawks to kick them in the mind, while simultaneously raise up the spirit of the Canucks.

As of late, my spells have fallen short… and so today I reach deep into my sack of warlock magic. I have created a set to bring some inspiration to all the long suffering Canucks fans out there in the 40 year drought territory.

Fore maximum effect, 30 some-odd minutes before game time, turn your TV to a hockey pre-game.  Mute the television and hit play on this.

I hope you enjoy the set and never forget…. Patrick Kane sucks.

Go with yourself.
