Everyone and their second cousins milkman’s dog-walker has a take on the Byron Bitz signing – but you should read ours since we make fun of Dale Tallon, include Bitz’s work as a Vlogger and went to behindthenet to do some digging. Conclusion: Bitz is a large guy who is likely to be a run of the mill fourth-liner, but he’s pretty disciplined and has some potential upside.
CONSPIRACY MATERIAL: PHT’s James O’Brien has compiled some very interesting data about penalties called since the lockout. Guess who has had the third largest amount of penalties called against them?

The Canucks for Kids Fund announced their grants for next year. Cam Davie wrote a must-read personal response here. The twenty six year old fund raised over four million dollars this year, bringing the cumulative total raised by the fund during its existence to well over thirty-five million. Vancouver hockey fans should be, and are, proud to root for a team that places as much importance on community improvement as the Canucks do.
