There has been little hockey news after the initial onslaught of free agency, especially regarding the Minnesota Wild, but that just leaves more time for analysis and retrospective.

The lack of news also gives one plenty of time to catch up on shows, and as it happens, Game of Thrones returned last night. In honor of the season premiere, here’s one of my favorite artists’ songs about the show.
“Miracle of Sound” is just the internet handle of Gavin Dunn, who records and mixes almost all of his songs by himself. This one happens to be a collaboration with another musician.
