Canucks Stuff: Out with the old, in with the new

The Vancouver Canucks hockey blog goodness previously achieved by going to both the Yankee Canuck and Waiting for Stanley has now been combined into one force at SB Nation: Nucks Misconduct. I’m a big fan of both of their original blogs, and the combined effort will be brilliant, I have no doubts.
I’m digging the site’s logo, too. I just can’t decide if they’re giving homage to 1950s U.S.S.R. socialist unity, or to George Orwell. Either way, I approve. 
On other matters of a Canuckish nature, the team now has—as everyone knows by now—a glorious one-game winning streak going on. The playoffs are practically a sure-thing. (Okay, maybe not.) For a more reasonable view of the team’s status quo, you can check out the latest episode of The Crazy Canucks.

Oh geez, you’re totally right. It’s a lot like that Obama art!
But I don’t think we want to insult the American first family by finding comparisons that go any further than the logo.

Thanks Alanah!
We thought about the tagline “Finally, fisting has a home” but decided against it.
(I can’t take credit for that either. I’ll protect the innocent parties!)

Sweet geezus. You and Sean are just a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Thanks Alanah
Yeah, we are a lawsuit waiting to happen! haha. Should be fun.
The SBN creative made the logo and we liked it.
I think it looks Commie, as does my Russian wife. She doesn’t like that. I do.

In addition to writing Canucks & Beyond and helping manage Kukla’s Korner, Alanah was one of the founders and co-hosts of The Crazy Canucks Podcast. She has contributed pieces to FoxSports.com and the New York Times Slapshot blog, as well as other stray destinations in cyberspace.

Their logo kinda reminds me of Barack Obama’s campaign logo during the US election.
That being said, it is entirely appropriate to think of Mike as Barack and Sean and Michelle.
