So apparently I did not in fact write "The Imperial March" and my old account was suspended because of adding music to a four-year-old tweet. Good times.
Anyhoo, toss this a re-tweet if you could, so I can try and re-connect with all my old followers. Would be appreciated! :)
So many insane moments at the end of that game. Tocchet pulling the goalie with lots of time left. The Preds hitting the post. Hughes with the spin move sending that Nashville player into the shadow realm. And of course clutch Boeser & Lindholm. Just a bonkers collection of plays
REPORTER: you struggled to hit the net this year, Ilya. Can you speak to that?
MIKHEYEV: *angrily* says who?
REPORTER: well the numbers -
*Mikheyev throws water bottle at him but it goes way wide*
If the Canucks put Virtanen on the 2nd line in place of Eriksson whenever they’re looking for goals to tie a game, shouldn’t he just always be there? Seeing as how you need goals to, you know, win.
REPORTER: who's in net tonight
STECHER: Thatcher Demko
*Green glares at him*
STECHER: er, uh, not Thatcher Demko
*Green glares harder*
STECHER: Datcher Themko
*Green glares even harder*
STECHER: I'm in net tonight
SEATTLE NHL FRANCHISE: call us...The Kraken!
BETTMAN: sounds good
KRAKEN: we'll play in the Krak-house
BETTMAN: wait what
KRAKEN: and our fans are the Krak-heads
BETTMAN: nope, don't like that
KRAKEN: guess what we call our fans that sleep around a lot
BETTMAN: please stop
*post game presser*
TOCCHET: any questions
*everyone’s hands shoot up*
TOCCHET: that aren’t about the Griddy
*all hands go down except one*
TOCCHET: yes
REPORTER: uh…*flips papers* what is your favourite dance move
👀 We “C” you, Quinn Hughes.
While the

captain finds himself atop the NHL scoring leaderboard among defencemen, Quinn also paced all skaters with 7 assists & 10 points as NHLPA Player of the Week!
So many callers expressing their thoughts on Botch and how much he'd love to be watching this
#Canucks
team right now. Super heart-warming and awesome to hear. Very touching stuff, and I concur completely.
Nikita Zadorov on the market in Vancouver: Hockey in Canada is different. I can compare it to Calgary, but the Vancouver fanbase is bigger. Calgary's not even the number 1 team in Alberta.

@Sportsnet650
On a serious note, I’d just like to say thank you to all of you for listening. When I first got into radio, my goal was always to end up at 1040. It truly was a dream job. Thank you to TMart for taking a chance on me, and to all of my co-workers, it was a blast. I’ll be back.
I asked a security guard in front of Rogers Arena if he’s heard anything on the JT Miller front and he said “who are you” and then “please leave” so make of that what you will.
BOESER: sign me
BENNING: We’re out of money
BOESER: how
*Benning jumps out of window and is caught by a helicopter flown by Jay Beagle and Loui Eriksson*
As the last remaining Canadian team, the Edmonton Oilers now have the support of an entire nation.
Just kidding. That's not how this works.
A huge number of
#Canucks
fans are Team Tanev now.
*Pearson showing Toffoli around the Canucks locker room*
Toffoli: why is that guy wearing a bathrobe praying in front of an empty net with lit candles all around him
Pearson: oh that's Loui, try not to make eye contact
SHORTY: thoughts on the game so far, John?
GARRETT: lots of players on the Wild have last names that start with the letter Z
SHORTY: ....
GARRETT: ....
SHORTY: thanks John
GARRETT: you’re welcome
So, some news.
Starting June 20th, I’ll be on board as a producer at

A big thanks to Tom
@TheSportMarket
for having me onboard at Bloomberg 1410 this past year. I had a blast.
Plus a big shoutout to
@CamJBarra
for the opportunity.

The year is 2562. The NHL has over three hundred thousand teams spread across the known universe. The Vancouver Canucks are still chasing their first Stanley Cup. “I think this is our year”, says Jim Benning’s head in a jar.
If Aquilini doesn't seriously start thinking about making some big changes, coach, GM, entire management group tbh...if he's just content to be happy with the last eight years and decides to sit by and do nothing, he doesn't deserve to own the Canucks.
KUZMENKO: is Calgary cold?
RUTHERFORD: you’ve been there before, Andrei. Many times.
KUZMENKO: i don’t want to go somewhere cold
*Rutherford and Allvin look at each other*
ALLVIN: …it’s quite warm
KUZMENKO: ok good ☺️
*Benning calls press conference*
*Horvat only player present*
Benning: we are pleased to announce, the new captain of the Canucks
*Messier comes out from behind curtain wearing jersey with C on it*
*crowd gasps*
Benning Bros: honestly not a bad move, I can see an upside to this
when Chicago drafts Bedard he should go up to the podium, rip off his suit, showing that he is in fact wearing a Vancouver Canucks jersey, lean in to the mic, and request a trade
*NHL all star game next year, Raffi takes the stage*
BETTMAN: phew, this should be fine
RAFFI: how the fuck’s everyone doing!?!?! *crowd goes nuts*
BETTMAN: oh come on
The Canucks, from the top on down, are a joke of a franchise. I’m sick of this team being the laughing stock of the NHL. I hope fans voice their displeasure loudly and proudly over this home stand. Eight years is enough.
*Canucks end-of-season presser, Benning takes to stage with Sedins*
MODERATOR: first question for Jim Benning, from, uh, the Sedins??
DANIEL: Hey Jim, um, why are you still here?
CROWD: oooooooo
HENRIK: *leaning into Daniel’s mic* fuck him up, Danny
