They Learn The Art Of Trolling At A Young Age In Vancouver
This young Canucks fan just couldn't help but give Kings coach Darryl Sutter a piece of his mind—or, at least, his mouth—during a break in the action of last night's Stanley Cup playoff opening game of the L.A.-Vancouver series.

Canucks Fan Throws Large Salmon Onto Ice To Honor Dead Son
There's nothing more tragic in life than an uncompleted mission.

Once Upon A Time, Charles Wang And Mike Milbury Royally Fucked Brian Burke
In 2001, the Canucks broke camp with two goaltenders: lifetime backup Dan Cloutier, and some dude. (Martin Brochu is about as "some dude" as a pro hockey player can be.
