This week was all about balance for the Canucks. Those two losses that offended fans with their lack of offence were balanced out with two comfortable wins. Nick Bonino, Jannik Hansen, and Derek Dorsett scored, and nothing says balance quite like secondary and tertiary scoring. Some of the Canucks even did yoga, which might be taking the whole balance metaphor thing too far, but whatever. 
  • If the Canucks’ sixth defenseman spot comes down to a yoga contest, Luca “I can high five myself” Sbisa is going to have to start practicing his Downward Dogs and Cobras if he wants to beat Yannick Weber:

  • Trade rumours are happening and they’re really fun. Jeff Vinnick actually managed to snag a photo of the moment Jim Benning suggested to Willie Desjardins that the Canucks acquire a player with no connection to the Medicine Hat Tigers:

  • Dan Murphy will never know peace as long as Kevin Bieksa is a Canuck. For a full breakdown of this incident and the innocent Canucks accused of assuming Bieksa’s role, check out last night’s Provies. We should know by now that when it comes to Dan Murphy, it’s always Bieksa. Always
 
  • Suddenly Emotional Alex Edler is probably the best part of Alex Edler’s new identity. Look at him go:

  • Kevin Bieksa, meanwhile, is trying to find out where Wayne Simmonds’ head got to:

  • Luca Sbisa’s grandfather thinks that ice is for drinks, not for playing sports upon. Classic Gianni.

  • And has there ever been a name greater than Massimo Sbisa? 
  • In extremely important news unrelated to the Canucks, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and the Syracuse Crunch held a ceremonial faceoff that saw a Taco Bell Sauce Packet drop the puck.
