NHL to keep professionals home from Olympics, send Vancouver Canucks instead

VANCOUVER, B.C.—In a controversial decision, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman announced this week that, for the first time in since 1994, NHL professional hockey players will not attend the 2018 Olympics in South Korea. Instead, the league will send the Vancouver Canucks, a plucky group of hockey amateurs who are expected to be happy just to be there.

Though he knows some will be disappointed by the move, Bettman says that he's extremely confident it's the right decision. "The Olympics take place in the middle of February, in the heat of our playoff hunt. For that reason it just wouldn't be acceptable to have our best players suddenly disappear from the league at that exciting time. We can, however, part with the Vancouver Canucks, who will not be contenders, and whose players' talent level, on a scale of 1 to 10, is an 'Aw, they look like they're really having fun out there.'"

Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins, who would travel with the team, is looking on the bright side.

"I mean, we just take it one day a time," said Desjardins.

"So we're happy to take it one day at a time here in Vancouver, or on the road, whether that's Arizona or Pyeongchang. I mean the road is the road, and you give 110% just like you would at home, and you just take it one day at a time. I assume a day is as long over there as it is here, and if not we'll take it just less than or just more than one day at a time."

At press time, the NHL announced that it would attempt to still do its part to aid the Olympic effort by giving free power-skating lessons to any member of the team who wants them, every Saturday until the Olympics.

CBC being absolutely SAVAGE :okay:

100% on point

:lawl:

Spoiler!

I'm a little sad with the lack of "really good" in the fake quote from Willie.

Colorado still worse :okay:

How exactly did Colorado manage to shit the bed this hard this year?

Under Roy they were decent and seemed to be on their way to becoming contenders. They definitely have skill and youth on their side.

Biggest game of the season tonight !!

I'm actually excited about tonight's game but I'm sure the canucks will win and fuck us like usual

They'll screw us, they always screw us. They might even tease us by losing tonight but winning the final two, we have no chance.

Even if Canucks finish second last, the lottery is going to fuck us anyways.

Hell with Canucks luck, say we win the 1st pick, we're probably going to fuck up that player anyways and he will end up being a bust.

All is good :victory:

who thought they could actually tank properly

Yotes probably on team tank while Vrbata is on 'screw you canucks for giving me up' and scores 2 goals lol

That worked so well last time he was playing for one :pokerface:

Nobody else fucking score

Brock's goal was so nice

Fuck I think I spoke too soon about the tanking properly part

It would be so like the Canucks to rally a comeback down 4-1 in a must lose game. Fucking Sedins
