BEST QUOTE

"I don't believe in everything the Catholic Church does, but I'd still show up to the Vatican and say hi to the Pope.

"I have no problem with his personal beliefs, but [Thomas] can suck it up for an hour, say hi and be with the team, and avoid all of this.

"Respect the [presidency]. He plays for Team USA and he has no problem making millions of dollars in the USA, but he can't go say hi to the president."

— Cory Schneider on Bruins netminder Tim Thomas, who boycotted the team's visit to the White House for political reasons

BEST PROMISE

That would be David Booth. If he can continue to score goals like the one he got Tuesday while piggy-backing Taylor Hall, the Canucks' second line is going to be dynamic.

BEST NICKNAME

Kid Clutch for Cody Hodgson.

BEST SHAPE

Even when he's struggling, you have to admire Mason Raymond's defensive abilities. Terrific job of shutting down Oilers' 3rd line.

BEST MILK

Sportsnet is replaying the Bruins-Canucks game from two weeks ago on Sunday. Now that's milking it.
