Itās time for āStick in Linkā, 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 flew into Ottawa on Tuesday night, which meant they were able to attend the Remembrance Day ceremony at the National War Memorial on Wednesday. The players found it to be a moving experience. Also, Jacob Markstrom calls Justin Trudeau āthe boss.ā []
- For more pictures of the Canucks at the ceremony, as well as practice photos, including a shot of just how close Derek Dorsett came to losing an eye and some truly horrific hair from Chris Higgins, check out the latest Behind The Lens. []
- Jim Benningās trades, even the ones that have seemed incredibly foolish, have pretty much all worked out really well. Suspiciously well. Mainly theyāve been working out because horrible things happen to the players he gets rid ofā¦ []
- Alex Burrows doesnāt think he crossed the line when he trash-talked Jordin Tootoo and insists it had nothing to do with Tootooās heritage or personal history. Still, he will be talking to the league on Friday about the incident. Hopefully this will all turn out to be a wacky misunderstanding based entirely around Burrowsā completely indecipherable French accent. āI didnāt call you a f***ing turd: I said āgood luck in the third.ā []
- Ryan Miller is understandably sensitive about the idea of shrinking goalie equipment, partly because he broke his thumb while using a blocker that had less protection. Also, he questions why Ray Ferraro is obsessed with his pants. []Ģż
- Thereās no goalie controversy in Ā鶹“«Ć½Ó³»right now, which means itās the right time for an article about how Miller isnāt concerned about the possibility of a goalie controversy, right? Right. []
- Speaking of goalies, are we making enough of this save by Jacob Markstrom? I donāt think weāre making enough of this save.
- Dimitri Filipovic has noticed something unusual: the Sedins are still good. Remember when everyone was talking about how they had ālost a stepā and āgotten hella oldā and ālooked like a couple grandpasā and āare literally the worst players in the NHLā? Remember that? Well, all those people were wrong and stupid: the Sedins are still dope as hell. Dimitri says all this with more numbers and stats and charts and stuff. []Ģż
- Along the same vein, Rob Vollman put together a 35+ All-Star team and courted controversy: Daniel is on the team, but Henrik isnāt. []Ģż
- As Iāve been saying all along, Jannik Hansen belongs with the Sedins. I just havenāt been saying it like this: āJannik Hansen might sound like Kermit from time to time, or all the time, but when heās with the Sedinsā¦.heās an Animal.ā []Ģż
- This is a pretty cool story about Fin showing up at a wedding. Donāt worry, he was invited, and he only ate, like, two guests, so itās cool. []Ģż
- Brandon Prustās fiancee said that hearing about Prust getting traded from Montreal to Ā鶹“«Ć½Ó³»āwas like going from being the happiest girl in the world to the saddest.ā []Ģż
- Hey Canada: you donāt have to hate the Canucks any more. []
- In a nice change of pace, the Canucks currently have excellent prospects in every single position. Thatās kind of confusing and discombobulating, actually. I feel like Ricky Bobby: ā.ā []
- One of those players in the Canucksā system that has been getting a lot of attention is Anton Rodin, but he apparently just suffered a broken collarbone, which might derail his hopes of getting back to the NHL a little bit. And yes, .

Per GM Jim Benning, Anton Rodin has a broken collarbone... He'll go watch him overseas, but that plan's on hold
