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.)
- Unsurprisingly, the Canucks have exhausted their trade options and opted to place Chris Higgins on waivers. [Vancouver Sun]
- Jason Botchford has the inside info on Monday night's wacky game with the Florida Panthers, and between Denis Potvin and Shawn Thornton, there's quite a bit of name-calling in this edition of The Provies. More than normal, even. [The Province]
- And here's Botchford on Luongo, with whom the city of Vancouver has a curious relationship, to say the least. We've never been consistent with this guy. Fans were cheering and booing his saves in equal measure last night. [The Province]
- The near-brawl between the Canucks and Panthers at the end of Monday night's game made Deadspin, so if you missed the whole thing, get yourself caught up. [Deadspin]
- Jeremy Davis goes all in on Willie Desjardins' player deployment, which makes little sense, at times. [Canucks Army]
- David Joun believes the decision to trade Chris Higgins is just the beginning of what could be a busy month for the Canucks. Trade all veterans. Kill all humans. [The Canuck Way]
- Guts McTavish hopes so, arguing that Jim Benning needs to move out several veterans. Fine, and fair. Although this sentence, I could do without. "They have to know Burrows is a league-wide embarrassment who has to go." Whoa, whoa, whoa. Guts. Whoa. [24 Hours]
- That said, the Canucks do have much better trading options than Chris Higgins. [One Canuck]
- Thomas Drance talks Jacob Markstrom, who looks confident and, uh, startery. He's been great in Ryan Miller's absence. [Sportsnet]
- And another from Joun: Jim Benning is risking his job with the Emerson Etem trade. [The Canuck Way]
- ESPN rains on Vancouver's parade, pointing out that, despite last night's win, the Canucks and Panthers are going in different directions. Why you gotta be like that, fellas? [ESPN]
- 2016 is totally gonna be Bo Horvat's year. This article is like Days of Our Lives in the mid-90s. It has Bo and hope. [Always 90 Four]
