Bo Horvat to the Islanders as the Canucks try to fix their mess of a team.

Too bad to see him go.  
Van. will be getting a good 20 y.o. Finn (Aatu Raty, 6’2") in return (along with 5-yr winger Anthony Beauvilier), but best of all a top 12 lottery-protected pick.  
Would’ve preferred some defense cah-cha-cha, but maybe down the road.  
Canucks are definitely going for a younger core - I just hope they won’t end up atrophying like other prospects have, there.

> Bobby Hull, arguably the greatest player in the history of the Chicago Blackhawks and one of the most feared goal-scorers of the 1960s, died Monday at the age of 84.

I’ll confess, I always thought he was a douchebag, but definitely a legend.

Not NHL _per se_, but good goalkeeping tips anyway.

ETA - no idea why it won’t play - just click on the @onthebenchcrew and it should be first tweet on top.
