Go Sharks 🦈 Go👍👍
Keeping our playoff hopes alive: ❌
Knocking Nashville out of the playoffs as revenge for them knocking us out: ✅
Revenge game, bring in ReavO
I’d rather lose and get a better pick than try and keep infinitesimal hopes alive
Should have put a W in front of Colorado too for the Edmonton pick! (Just nitpicking 😜)
Not with the coach they have. Give him the boot.
