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.)

• Which Canucks Twitter archetype are you? I love this post. It's hilariously accurate. It's maybe my favourite Canucks blog post of the year so far. []
• The injury to Brandon Sutter has left Bo Horvat with a lot more responsibility, and yielded this great quote from Jim Benning explaining why the Sutter trade was made in the first place: “We acquired Brandon to try to take the load off of him and so Bo could just keep developing at his own pace. But when Brandon got hurt, now there’s a lot more responsibility on him." []
• Forbes has valued the Canucks at $745 million, so if you've got an extra billion lying around, I say treat yourself. []
• "The Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół»Canucks can make the Hamonic trade happen. And Chris Higgins holds the keys." []
• Remembering Pat Quinn on the first anniversary of his death. []
• The Canucks have hit the quarter mark of the season. How have they been? Totally average, says Craig Button. []
• I hate that Jeff Paterson is writing from home now instead of under the Bell umbrella, but I like what he has to say. J-Pat checks in after the Devils loss. []
• Are the Sedins and Jannik Hansen the new West Coast Express? Nah. They're not even from the West Coast. A more geopgrahically appropriate nickname would be the Konnection. []
• I like the Canucks' new "fanboni". That is all. []
• Why are the Canucks struggling defensively? The same reason all my relationships fail: not enough communication. []
• Daniel Sedin is the NHL's second star of the week. Meanwhile, Henrik Sedin, who had the first five-point game of his career, received zero plaudits. []
