Pets are family. If you've ever lost one, you know how heartbreaking it is.
Also, Indigenous people are very spiritual. They're more connected to nature than your avg person.
Ethan also just lost a good friend/mentor (Gino).

I know people don't want to hear this, but Lindholm is also Petey insurance if Vancouver ends up in a Matthew Tkachuk situation. I'm not saying Lindholm can replace Petey, but if he does want out, trading Petey for a boatload and signing Lindholm to an extension is a solid plan B

Since joining the

Once again, these playoffs have shown how vital goaltending is. Yet year after year, TO/EDM trot out middling options & watch it cost them their season.

When Bruce Boudreau says he doesn't like the "Bruce There It Is" chants, he's just being a good guy. He doesn't want the spotlight. He wants the players to get all the credit. But make no mistake, deep down inside, that man loves every bit of it.

Filip Hronek now has 11 assists in 11 games.
Revisiting the trade, VAN acquired FH and a 4th round pick for 1st and 2nd round draft picks.

Can we take a second to acknowledge the absolute wizardry that Allvin pulled off earlier this year?

Twitter almost unanimously agrees that Conor Garland is on a very good contract.

Some ppl refuse to say VAN is 2nd in the NHL, citing P%. But the difference between VAN and everyone else (besides NYR) pretty much comes down to loser points (OTL). That's not a measure of greatness. Regulation wins and goal differential is a better indicator. VAN leads in both.

With 4 games remaining and the playoff chances all but over, Iain continues to cover this team objectively. He doesn't cover the NHL standings, he covers the Vancouver Canucks. Believe it or not, there's still a lot of us out there that appreciate that.
Hobbled by slapshot to knee in 3P on Thursday, J.T. Miller will be leading Canucks tonight in Calgary.
Q: Was there any chance you wouldn’t play tonight?

Q: Did you get an X-ray on your knee?

1 thing I'll say about Rathbone - through all the scratches/demotions/injuries, we didn't hear a single complaint from him or his camp. When things didn't go his way, he put his head down & worked his ass off for the next opportunity. That's what being a professional looks like.
"Felt good. Huge effort from the guys...I thought we played a great game."
🗣 Jack Rathbone speaks to the media after tallying a goal against Dallas.
