If you’ve written a blog-post, produced a tribute video, birthed a clever .gif into existence, or have a hockey-related cause you’d like to see promoted in this space, please tweet or DM us at CanucksArmy on Twitter!
The obvious topic of the week stemmed from various reports out of Twitter which suggested that Canucks management was frustrated with the amount of negativity surrounding the team:
