It’s time for “Stick in Link”, the feature where we just plug in a bunch of stuff written by others! Featuring a smattering of links from around the Smylosphere and beyond every Tuesday and Thursday. Warning: our links are so hyper, they change colour when exposed to heat. (Have something for us to share in the next edition? E-mail us at passittobulis@gmail.com or tweet us @passittobulis. Or tell us some other way. The point is: we'll probably link it if we know about it.)
- Justin Galo has some bones to pick with Willie Desjardins. What's the deal with Alex Burrows? What's the deal with Yannick Weber? And I have some bones to pick with the title of this article. "Top Three WTF"? You're plural country, friend. Top three WTFs, please. [Canucks Corner]
- Brock Boeser has picked up his first hat trick in the NCAA. Naturally, people are excited about him. [Vancouver Sun]
- Daniel Sedin's miss the other night was pretty bad, but there have been worse misses in Canuck history. [Always 90 Four]
- Derek Dorsett and Brandon Sutter each received a vote for "most underrated" on this NHL player's poll. Crazy. I didn't know Willie Desjardins was a player, or that he got two votes. [Puck Daddy]
- Through six games, Bo Horvat has one measly point. Is this a concern? I'm gonna say not just yet, since that point is the team's only powerplay goal. That's a bigger issue, to my mind. [TSN]
- Plus the Sedins are off to a sluggish start too. No surprise. They're an ancient, ancient 35 years old now. It takes a little longer to get going. [The Globe & Mail]
- I got on Brandon Prust's case a little last week for being slow. Turns out he's recovering from an ankle surgery. “I was about three or four weeks behind and I kind of used the exhibition for conditioning and building and just kind of finding my rhythm,” says Prust. “I seem to have found it a bit and I’ve just got to keep it going. The surgery kind of set me back more than we thought and that’s why I’m just starting to find my stride. It (ankle) was sore. I changed my skates and have a lot more cushion in the ankle. It’s good now." [The Province]
- The Canucks are 3-1-2. How much do we panic? Don't you dare say to stay calm, because I just put on my panic pants. They're water-resistant. [The Province]
-
Who are these Canucks? Do we know yet? What's going on? Where am I? [Nuck Said]
- Finally, as Sportsnet continues to inflict the "McDavid meets Messier" ad on us, Vancouverites continue to recut it. In this version, McDavid just ignores the call, as he should.
