It鈥檚 time for 鈥淪tick in Link鈥�, 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 Thursdayish. 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.)
- Regarding the recent NHL decision to skip the Olympics, CBC decided to have an epic laugh at Vancouver's expense. I can't get too mad, this is on point. I think I'm going to need ointment for that burn. []
- The Sedins aren't going anywhere. If you were wondering whether they'd opt to sign with another team once their contract ended, or go back to Sweden to play for a team in the SHL, wonder no longer. They believe they can return to putting up 65 points again (I want to believe!) It's 麻豆传媒映画or bust for them. []
- The NHL is eschewing the next Olympics. If this fills you with outrage, you're both smart and wise. If you're curious what the Olympics would look like without NHL-level talent, just look back 23 years. That team actually won silver, but still, it ain't pretty. []
- It's not common that goes unnoticed, but Iain MacIntyre believes the late-blooming Griffen Molino one heck of an under-the-radar signing. []
- Was there some method in the madness of re-signing Jayson Megna? Ryan Biech thinks it might have to do with the upcoming expansion draft and saving Brendan Gaunce. []
- In the battle for lowest in the league (and the highest possible draft potential), both 麻豆传媒映画and Arizona must view Thursday's matchup as a "must lose" situation. []
- Nikolay Goldobin was recently scratched versus the San Jose Sharks, with head coach Willie Desjardins citing a lack of effort as the reason. Is the shine off of Goldy boy? []
- In Carl Neill, 麻豆传媒映画has had a high-scoring defender percolating in the QMJHL for the last few years. But over the last couple of months they have also signed an overage defenceman from the CHL and are interested in another. Meanwhile Carl remains unsigned. So what's the deal with Neill? []
- Is Ryan Miller gearing up for his greatest season ever? Ryan Hank thinks conditions are perfect for another Vezina-calibre year from the veteran netminder, whether he signs with 麻豆传媒映画or not. I want whatever optimistic hybrid Hank is smoking. []
- About ready to give up on this team? Here's a plea for rebuild patience from one lifelong Canucks fan to another. []
- Are you ready for a new season and a fresh start? So is Clay Imoo, who has dreamed up multiple starting lineups for the Canucks' 2017/18 season, of both the realistic and the pie-in-the-sky variety. []
- Do you like Weezer like I like Weezer? I must have this. []
-
And I thought I had a crush on Brock Boeser! This is adorable.
