If you’re a Canucks fan and you’re thinking “everything is bad,” you are right. But even when one of them is hurt, I can guarantee that the Sedins will make you smile if you read on. The other guys, too, maybe. 
  • Before we get to the Sedins, here is a child that perfectly describes what it feels like to be a Canucks fan these days:

  • The Canucks sent out their seasonal e-greeting and it’s pretty weird. Animated versions of Henrik, Daniel, Horvat, and Hamhuis team-up to send holiday wishes to the fans. You can also play dress-up with some cartoon Canucks. Be sure to check out Chris Tanev’s doodled flow. Find it all right here. 
  • Some Canucks also joined up with other Vancouver sports personalities and CTV to sing Jingle Bells. Hutton cannot sing, Markstrom misses a word or two, and I have no idea what Virtanen is up to, but it’s a very fun video. Kendall Waston of the Vancouver Whitecaps steals the show.

  • And this photo of him being Kevin McCallister from Home Alone:

  • The Canucks made their annual holiday visit to BC Children’s Hospital this week and there are some very sweet photos from the day. 
Check out more photo here – there are so many cute ones. 
  • Finally, when the Sedins aren’t reminding fans that they’re still really good at hockey, they’re reminding fans that there are more important things to be really good at. My favourite moment from the BCCH visit comes via Canucks fan Chandler, who shared this story about her friend Peanut and Daniel Sedin:

“My friend Peanut was diagnosed with Leukemia last year. He’s only 18. He missed a good chunk of school and he had to quit his job which he loved. He’s in remission now, but he was recently re-hospitalized for multiple bacterial infections. He was just told that he has to spend the next six weeks (including Christmas) at children’s hospital because of it. He’s been kept in isolation because his latest problems were contagious, and any visitors have to wear full suits, masks, and gloves in order to see him. During the Canucks annual visit to BCCH, Daniel Sedin suited up and spent a good chunk of time chatting with my friend. Danny was even told at one point to move on but said he needed a few more minutes. Peanut was so touched, all he wanted was for Danny to sign his hat, but he gave him so much more. I couldn’t be happier knowing that my little buddy was given a chance to smile during such a shitty time. This is what Christmas is about.”
