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 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.)

- Jannik Hansen took the high road about his fine for embellishment, though he did ask if he could spear 3/5ths of Brad Marchand鈥檚 groin and make it an even $5000. Also, Chris Tanev is back! []
- Friday will be Kevin Bieksa鈥檚 first game back in 麻豆传媒映画since he was traded to Anaheim. Treat him well, folks. []听

Virtanen, who is one of just two Team Canada forwards without a point, will have to be better in the quarterfinals if they want to get past Finland. []听
- With all the injuries on defence, 21-year-old Ashton Sautner got called up to the Canucks. Then he got sent back down almost immediately. So just who is Ashton Sautner? []
- Thomas Drance has his monthly prospect report, with some interesting details on the reason behind Cole Cassels鈥� slow start and the possibility of Nikita Tryamkin leaving the KHL. []

- Former Canucks Manny Malhotra and (I guess) Cory Conacher and Derek Roy just won the Spengler Cup with Team Canada. Not going to lie: I'm pretty happy for Malhotra. I love that guy. []

- Want to end 2015 on a downer? Here are the top-5 most disappointing Canucks things from the last year. []听
