Together we want to offer fans a chance to win a signed @BoHorvat jersey & a freshly branded bucket too.

A post-WJC quote from one of Vasili Podkolzin’s teammates:

Quote from Podkolzin's teammate: "Vasily Podkolzin was a good captain for us, he motivated us and kept us going. Unfortunately, we couldn't follow his words of advice. We let him down... We didn't crash the net enough. Vasily did that, but we didn't."#Canucks https://t.co/V1WOf3ywhi
