Itā€™s time for ā€œStick 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.)

  • ā€œYou need your whole team to shut him down,ā€ says Jannik Hansen about Alexander Ovechkin, who the Canucks face tonight. Thatā€™s a problem, as the whole team isnā€™t allowed on the ice at the same time. Thatā€™s a guaranteed penalty. []
  • 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: ā€œMy older son is all over me now...I went to his practice yesterday but he didnā€™t score either.ā€ []
  • Kent Basky isnā€™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. []
  • Dimitri Filipovic talks to Dan Murphy about John Tortorella, the Canucksā€™ prospects, and Ryan Miller. []
  • Speaking of John Tortorella, he apparently thought that Chris Tanev wouldnā€™t pair well with Alex Edler. Tortorella would likely also recommend pairing a Cabernet with sushi. Never trust that guy with pairings, is what Iā€™m saying. []
  • Alex Burrows thinks John Tortorella will do well in Columbus, says heā€™s a smart guy, and smiles and laughs about all the stories about Tortorella that he canā€™t tell. Oh that Alex. Such a tease. []
  • 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. []
  • 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. []
  • Hunter Shinkaruk tallied a hattrick in the Utica Comets home opener because heā€™s a boss. []
  • Shinkaruk isnā€™t the only Canucks prospect with a recent hattrick, as Brock Boeser scored one for North Dakota as well. []
