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.)
- “You need your whole team to shut him down,” says Jannik Hansen about Alexander Ovechkin, who the Canucks face tonight. That’s a problem, as the whole team isn’t allowed on the ice at the same time. That’s a guaranteed penalty. [The Province]
- Radim Vrbata has been reunited with the Sedins, which will hopefully help him bust his slump and hopefully help get his six-year-old off his back: “My older son is all over me now...I went to his practice yesterday but he didn’t score either.” [Vancouver Sun]
- Kent Basky isn’t happy that Yannick Weber is still sitting in the press box. Neither am I. Kent and I don't always agree, but when we do, it's because we're absolutely, completely right. [Nucks Misconduct]
- Dimitri Filipovic talks to Dan Murphy about John Tortorella, the Canucks’ prospects, and Ryan Miller. [Canucks Army]
- Speaking of John Tortorella, he apparently thought that Chris Tanev wouldn’t pair well with Alex Edler. Tortorella would likely also recommend pairing a Cabernet with sushi. Never trust that guy with pairings, is what I’m saying. [The Province]
- Alex Burrows thinks John Tortorella will do well in Columbus, says he’s a smart guy, and smiles and laughs about all the stories about Tortorella that he can’t tell. Oh that Alex. Such a tease. [Canucks]
- Chris Higgins spoke at the 2015 Sports Celebrities Festival about his sister, a swimmer who competes in the Special Olympics, and manages to burn both Alex Burrows and Jake Virtanen. [Canucks]
- Speaking of the Sports Celebrities Festival, here's a video behind the scenes with more of the Canucks:
- Is Trevor Linden leaning towards keeping Jared McCann on the roster and sending Jake Virtanen back to Junior? Maaaaaaaaaaybe. [VanCity Buzz]
- Hunter Shinkaruk tallied a hattrick in the Utica Comets home opener because he’s a boss. [Canucks Army]
- Shinkaruk isn’t the only Canucks prospect with a recent hattrick, as Brock Boeser scored one for North Dakota as well. [One Canuck]
