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 [email protected] or tweet us @passittobulis. Or tell us some other way. The point is: we'll probably link it if we know about it.)
- The Canucks are bad at 3-on-3. Real bad. [TSN]
- Is Alex Biega the next Alex Edler? There are a lot of similarities. Their given names, for instance... [The Canuck Way]
- Jason Botchford breaks down a moment that Monday's game in Montreal that pretty much sums up this Canucks' road trip. [The Province]
- Hunter Shinkaruk talks about his first NHL game, which was a bit of a blur. [Vancouver Sun]
- Matt Bartkowski on the Canucks' overtime record: “Are we 0-6? Geez. It’s painful. There’s really no other word for it. We blew it. Those are the (games) where it starts to slip away and we’ve got to find a way to regain it and get it back. We’re going to be in these spots a lot more throughout the season, so hopefully this is the last time it happens and we can learn from it and fix it. [Vancouver Sun]
- I will never tire of Daniel Sedin's practical, optimistic approach. Even after a three-goal collapse, Daniel sees the positives: “We had a gameplan, we stuck with it for 60 minutes, and this was by far our best road game of the year.” Look at this spin king go. [Sportsnet]
- Why do the hockey gods hate Radim Vrbata? Is it because he double-dipped a chip at one of their parties? [Sportsnet]
- Ryan Miller seems tired. He looks tired. He sounds tired. [The Province]
- What's gone wrong for the Canucks on this road trip? Everything, but here's an itemized list. [Canucks Corner]
- "Jannik Hansen might sound like Kermit from time to time, or all the time, but when he’s with the Sedins….he’s an Animal." I'm a sucker for Muppet-based puns, so I love this. [Always 90 Four]
- Canucks' first-rounder Brock Boeser has been named his NCAA conference's rookie of the week after a five-point weekend. [UND Sports]
