So yesterday wasn't an ideal way to celebrate your average hump day, but then again if you wanted a team with zero drama and the lack of outside critiques frequently centering on the word "enigmatic," you wouldn't be a Vancouver fan. So buck up kids, the sun will also rise and above all else - no matter what - please never forget that you're at least not a Calgary Flames fan.

Canucks News

• Ryan Kesler broke his foot in his first game back. On the plus side, he got his next injury out of the way early.
• Manny Malhotra crawled out from his hole, saw his shadow and now there are six more weeks of controversy.
• Cue the royal horns: with Kesler out and Malhotra suddenly in limbo, Andrew Ebbett makes his triumphant return.
• Kassian's TOI in the last game gives us a sad. Also doesn't help give poor kids dental work. AV is just so cruel.

Everyone Else

• Unexpected NHL awards so far this season. Spoiler alert: Ballard having a pulse isn't one of them.
• Via Kukla, another trade is coming this morning. Update: Preds actually get something for shitkicking Brian McGrattan back to Calgary because 1986 called and Feaster wanted its hockey logic back.

• Two Three years ago today Canada. Grab your junk and celebrate.

Oh What The Hell

• Google Glasses will make you "manly" says no one founder of the company who made them.
