BEST REALITY

David Booth is out with an ankle injury. He’s expected to be out for some time. How will the Canucks replace him? He doesn’t kill penalties. He doesn’t score. He doesn’t play on the power play.

BEST RUMOUR

Marian Gaborik to the Canucks. Hey, he’s an oft-injured, underachieving winger. He’d fit right in.

BEST CHIRP

“Big night tonight. The Canucks celebrate not having a cup win in Vancouver since 1915.”

BEST PLAY

Alex Edler completed a two-zone drop pass. He didn’t do much else.

BEST SHOUT OUT

“To the #Canucks for only ordering 400 #Millionaires jerseys for their #Vancouver fans. The day inventory already sold out (at 11 am).

BEST SHAP

“Who knew the Millionaires PP was worse than the Canucks?”

— twitter.com/@taj1944

BEST STAT

Leafs have given up 35 goals in last nine games. Who needs Roberto Luongo?
