It’s a scary time of year. No better place for that than Vancouver, the city where a pair of decrepit, identical ghouls shamble north and south on a team that is undead but doesn’t know it.
Despite a .500 record early on, the Canucks are probably in for some suffering this season. But that doesn’t mean they won’t be dangerous against the Caps tonight. Doomed hero Loui Eriksson has some life in him still, and the Caps’ special teams have a dark secret (they’re bad).
Game’s on at 10 PM on CSN. There will be blood.

I’m thinking there will be a lot of Luke Cages, Elevens, Barbs, Harley Quinns, Harambes (RIP), and evil clowns.
Anyone being David Pumpkins — sorry, David S. Pumpkins — should get a high five.
But if you see a Ken Bone, it’s okay to throw things at him. You have my permission.
Any questions?
