At this point, playoff losses are old hat and yet… despair still creeps in. No time for sadness here, though. The Canucks got sexy and it needs to be analyzed.
  • Here is the full Canucks pre-game video. Ten current Canucks appear in the black and white close-up bit that starts about a minute and a half in:
  • First, we see captain Henrik and future captain Bo. Henrik goes with an air of kind wisdom, while Bo seems to be going for “dazed yearning”.
   
  • Next, Alex Edler finally shows the world his inner male model and Derek Dorsett stands slightly too close to the camera. 
   
  • Daniel looks far angrier than his brother and Chris Tanev looks like a confused college student who has just been woken up.
   
  • Burrows goes with the classic smoulder and Eddie Lack shows off his every-cliche-you-have-ever-read-about-nice-eyes eyes. 
   
  • Kevin Bieksa looks sort of like he doesn’t want to be there but wow, Radim Vrbata brought his smoulder game. Look at that. 
   
  • Overall, what the Canucks lacked on the scoresheet, they made up for with their weird, slightly seductive intensity in the pre-game video. Nice job, Canucks.

  • On the topic of looking snazzy, check out Eddie Lack’s pre-game look. Three piece suit, pocket square, and is that a floral shirt I see? Beautiful.

  • In 5 words, Ronalds Kenins has perfectly described the Stanley Cup Playoffs. 
Favourite #Canucks quote from last 2 days was from Kenins, on how he’s feeling ahead of playoff debut: “Bad sleeping all the time.”
  • Because we all need a little bit more pain in our lives, let’s all think about Henrik Sedin passing the Stanley Cup to Daniel Sedin.

  • My goal is to cheer people up though, so back to the happy stuff – here are the top 10 goals of the regular season. If I’m honest I’m surprised at how cool some of these are. Vrbata owns. 
  • Eddie Lack’s parents are adorable. Which is how genetics work I guess. Here is Eddie’s papa reacting to his son’s effort last night:

  • Ok so Forbes estimates that it would cost $1.7 million to clone a human being.  That seems low but whatever. I’m no mathematician, but I believe that the Canucks could have taken Sbisa’s $10.8 million contract and spent $1.7 million on a clone of Chris Tanev (he would have to consent to this but he seems like a chill guy). The rest of the money could go towards signing Tanev 2.0 to a solid little contract. Identical DNA = awesome hockey players. We know this. Clone Tanev.
