-So Mike Gillis participated in the Canucks' skate prior to the Kings game. I think he's gearing up to play 3rd line center if all else fails. More pictures from yesterday including the pic on the left found at Canucks.com.

-A recent Canucks trip to the Children's Hospital was cancelled, so the Canucks made a DVD for them instead. Here is some video footage of that event. Good stuff.

-Goodbye monkey, hello Kristin Reid! Wellwood changed the blades on his sticks before last night's game.

-I thought I had read somewhere that Rick Rypien had injured his hand. Now, nobody on the Canucks is saying what his injury is. Alain Vigneault is saying he is day-to-day. He is doubtful for tomorrow's game against the Coilers.

-Seen on Twitter:

"This is the first bright spot since Luc's death," said Luc Bourdon's mother after carrying the Olympic Torch earlier today! -vancan19

Keep your head up, Mrs. Bourdon. We Canucks fans will never forget Luc and always remember you, your family and Luc in our hearts. Hang in there.

Covers a lot of ground there…doesn’t it?

I think with fighters, you don’t give away too much if you can get away with it.

You know some guys will target it if its true…though a broken hand sounds likely the way he throws em.

The earliest use of the word with the spelling we recognize today is found in "L'Acadie: or Seven Years' Exploration in British America" by James Edward Alexander, published in 1849:

We also met a lusty fellow in a forest road with a keg of whisky slung round him who called to us 'Come boys and have some grog, I'm what you call a canuck"

So glad to hear that she got to carry the torch…thoughtful of the Relay mavens that pick who gets to…thanks for posting that.

Whats with that Jofa helmet though Mike? Are they even legal anymore?

Well he likes Swedish players is my guess. Remember Don Cherry used to heckle this guy for wearing one?

Is that one a Jofa? Looks like the new fangled one. Mike’s is circa Kurri and Wayne…old school…maybe its just the last one he had when he stopped playing…pulled the gear out of the closet and said fuck it.

Though you would think the GM of an NHL club could get his hands on a new helmet pretty easy….

Rypien needs dental work, actually, gonna have some teeth pulled … outta his hands.

The opposite of serious is not funny; the opposite of serious is unserious.
