Beware the Wrap-Thieving Ostrich
Dear neighbor, I know you saw five-foot-two-inch me struggling. Stretching and straining in vain to get my fingers around the last spicy lentil wrap at our neighborhood Trader Joe’s. Its delicious sauce calling to me from the very, very back of the top shelf in the prepared foods section. Oh yes, I know you saw […] The post Beware the Wrap-Thieving Ostrich appeared first on The Stranger.

Pop Loser: Josie and the Pussycats > The Beatles
Welcome back to Pop Loser! This week, Ben Gibbard pissed people off by saying that the Velvet Underground is better than the Beatles. While I wholeheartedly agree, saying that anyone is “better than the Beatles” is a tired rage-bait tactic. But while we’re here, I also believe that Josie and the Pussycats are better than […] The post Pop Loser: Josie and the Pussycats > The Beatles appeared first on The Stranger.

I have woken up in the very unenviable position of having to write Slog AM, our daily news roundup, the morning after news broke that our editor, Hannah Murphy Winter, is leaving The Stranger. Instead of letting other outlets talk around it, and skipping the headline entirely, let me just say, straight from the source: […] The post Yes, Hannah Murphy Winter Is Leaving The Stranger appeared first on The Stranger.

DJLR Free Agency Frenzy LIVETHREAD
Welcome to free agent frenzy, friends. The NHL has already begun making goofy trades all over the place after the Kraken made a perfectly reasonable call for Mackie Samoskevich, so let’s enjoy the magic as it unfolds! What do the Kraken Need? The Smart-ass answer is “everything”, but I think we can be a little more specific than that. Dire Needs: Younger, more mobile defenseman The Kraken’s biggest achilles heel on D is that they’re old, slow, and struggle with adjusting in net-front work. Adding Brandon Montour last season helped, Chase Reid will absolutely help in that regard, but work still needs to be done in order for this team to compete with the Pacific, which has doubled down on offensive skillset across the board. High-End Goalscoring Forward It’s a constant struggle and it’s always a real pain to keep bringing it up, but yes; the Kraken need somebody who’s willing to go to the net and shoot there. Re-signing Bobby McMann definitely improves the going to the net part, but the Kraken desperately need at least one higher skill forward that can allow them the ability to take over a shift or two and quarterback a power play. Would be nice to have: Left Wing Depth According to EliteProspects.com, the Kraken only have four natural LW players in the entire system; including the NHL team. Obviously it’s fine if you plan on converting a couple of your undersized Centers to wing full-time, but it absolutely can’t hurt to have at least one more! An Upgrade at Center (strictly NHL) I’m not looking at a specific player at the moment! Certainly not! I’m just saying that if the Kraken mean to improve for next year, then they should think carefully about the contract terms of their Center depth, and then make some decisions on possibly upgrading them. Maybe not a wild change, but definitely one that could improve by subtraction or by creating opportunity for other players. Clearer Answer for Goaltending depth in Coachella The goaltending situation for the Kraken seems to be okay at the moment? Definitely not perfect, but they were able to make it work. Their AHL squad meanwhile, has Nikke Kokko on the last year of his RFA contract, Victor Ostman actively looking for his first contract out of RFA, and Kim Saarinen waiting in the wings. As Seattle’s luck has often lent the Coachella Valley netminders a chance to play at least a couple games in the NHL, it would be a good idea for the team to look at the development of these players and come up with a clearer picture. Stuff they’ve already done: Given Lleyton Roed and JR Avon 1 year contracts Said goodbye to Jaden Schwartz 🙁 Let madness continue!

Dear Hendrix
Dear Hendrix, As you’ve noticed by now in these letters, I’m obviously a very devout, religious person. If nothing else, I believe that spirituality is the foundation of a good… oh, who am I kidding?
