Racin’ Raymond
I ran a Nike 10K once in Toronto and as soon as I crossed the finish line, I vowed to never run like that again, unless an insane clown or rabid bear were chasing me. Although I felt a swell of pride in what I had accomplished, it was overshadowed by pain everywhere - I think I was even hallucinating a bit.
If running is your thing and you participated in the Scotiabank Vancouver Half-Marathon & 5K this past weekend, well done! If you felt the pain I mentioned and were maybe even hallucinating to the point you thought you saw Canucks forward Mason Raymond, rest assured he was actually there.
Raymond was an honourary Scotiabank charity challenge chair; he posed for photos, signed autographs and was his general happy self.
Here are two photos Canucks photographer Jeff Vinnick snapped of him. I have no idea what is going on in the picture below.

A Map of Lou
I was cruising through the #VancouverCanucks page on deviantArt this morning when I came across the above image by *seanpt. As someone commented, it is both amazing and terrifying!

Art attack
It’s summer, the sun is out and the great outdoors are calling!
Don’t answer the phone.
If you go outside you’ll need sunscreen and bug spray and snacks and a new swimsuit – ain’t nobody got time for that.
Why not spend some time inside this summer and win a Vancouver Canucks team-signed stick?
(Drum roll please…)
It’s time for another Fort Nucks deviantArt contest!
(…pause for applause)
Your mission is simple: be as creative as freakin’ possible and put your heart and soul into a piece that best represents the theme Canucks in the Summer. That will mean something different to everyone and that’s awesome because there’s no right or wrong, just amazing art.
The fine print:
1. Sign up for a free deviantArt account, then join #VancouverCanucks page on deviantArt.
2. Create a fabulous work of art that fits into either cartoons and comics, digital art, drawings, paintings, or others, and submit it to the #VancouverCanucks page (click gallery, go into the contest folder titled: Contest – Canucks in the Summer, then click submit).
3. That’s it. (Contest is open to new and existing members)
The contest begins today, June 11th, and runs until July 11th. Hurry up and submit your art, or take your time sending it in, it’s up to you. Just know that after the deviantArt members vote to determine the Final 5, a secret panel of Canucks Employee Judges will determine the Grand Pooh-Bah Champion of the Art World.
The winner will also be inducted into the Fort Nucks Art Hall of Fame, alongside Shan317, kkylasmithh and ArtAngelo.
Why are you still reading this? Go do your thing!

R.I.P Krutov
It is with sadness that the Vancouver Canucks learned today of the passing of former Canuck Vladimir Krutov.
Krutov appeared in his only season in the National Hockey League with the Vancouver Canucks, becoming one of the first Soviet-born players to play in the NHL. He registered 34 points (11-23-34) in 61 games in the 1989.90 campaign.
The Vancouver Canucks sends our deepest condolences to the Krutov family.
