Sometimes there香蕉视频直播檚 so much going on that we just want to cover it all, so on these occasions we will offer up a little 香蕉视频直播楽ports Potpourri香蕉视频直播� for your enjoyment.

Unless the free-agent signing of Northeastern University香蕉视频直播檚 Aidan McDonough rocks your world, you know the Vancouver Canucks season is officially a washout when most of the activity on social media revolves around The Athletic香蕉视频直播檚 Thomas Drance and his coverage of the hockey club.

Drance has taken a firm stand in how he would like to see the Canucks get out of the mess they are in: namely, by trying to accrue as much draft capital and salary cap space as possible.

Drance wasn香蕉视频直播檛 a fan of the Canucks re-signing Andrei Kuzmenko to a two-year deal at $5.5 million per year as he would have liked to have seen Kuzmenko traded at the deadline in exchange for draft picks while at the same time clearing up some cap space.

I wholeheartedly agree with Drance香蕉视频直播檚 feelings on the subject and don香蕉视频直播檛 understand why he香蕉视频直播檚 taking so much flak from Canuck fans.

Yet Drance continues to take heat for calling it the way he sees it 香蕉视频直播� and props to him for not backing down despite Kuzmenko香蕉视频直播檚 success this season.

Those people on social media calling him 香蕉视频直播榥egative香蕉视频直播� are probably a little too young to remember The Province香蕉视频直播檚 Tony Gallagher or CKNW香蕉视频直播檚 Neil Macrae in their prime. Drance香蕉视频直播檚 writings pale in comparison.

It香蕉视频直播檚 a great time of year if you are a sports fan.

The NHL playoff race is winding down and the same holds true for the NBA.

The World Baseball Classic has that sports fans buzzing and golf is doing just fine with Scottie Scheffler winning The Players Championship just weeks before The Masters.

Throw in some NCAA March Madness and it香蕉视频直播檚 a smorgasbord of activity for sports junkies.

Yet when it comes to the North American landscape, it香蕉视频直播檚 a sport that is NOT being played that still manages to dominate the headlines on both sides of the border.

Even though National Football League training camps are months away, there is never an 香蕉视频直播榦ff-season香蕉视频直播� when it comes to the NFL.

Whether it香蕉视频直播檚 the NFL Scouting Combine, the subsequent draft, trades or free agency, 香蕉视频直播楾he Shield香蕉视频直播� always manages to be front and center.

A perfect example was the recent trade between the Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers in which the Bears gave up the first overall pick in the draft to the Panthers in exchange for a package of draft picks and wide receiver D.J. Moore.

TSN Sportscentre led off its sportscasts with news of the trade 香蕉视频直播� given us a much-needed break from all the Maple Leaf and Raptor propaganda 香蕉视频直播� but also demonstrating just how big the NFL is even in Canada by knocking off the Toronto teams as the lead story.

With names like Jimmy Garappolo, Tremaine Edmunds, Darren Waller and possibly Aaron Rodgers changing teams, the NFL will continue to dominate the headlines through the draft on April 27th.

The B.C. Lions have made yet another commitment to getting fans from around the province to attend games by announcing this week that they are launching a six-game season bus-and-ticket package for fans from Vancouver Island and the Interior.

The package includes tickets for five Saturday games and one Sunday game all of which feature 4 pm kickoffs.

This comes on the heels of last year香蕉视频直播檚 successful bus-and-ticket packages for the Western Semi-Final Playoff game versus Calgary.

With most packages ranging from $170 to $500, it香蕉视频直播檚 obvious that this isn香蕉视频直播檛 going to be big money maker for the Lions but what it does do is allow fans from all parts of the province to feel invested in the team.

It香蕉视频直播檚 just another example of Lions owner Amar Doman and his front office led by Lions President Duane Vienneau trying to connect with football fans in this province.

I have to give out some props to my old friend Rob Fai.

The former TSN 1040 host and play-by-play voice of the Vancouver Canadians is doing fill-in work on the Corus Radio Network but it香蕉视频直播檚 his wrestling promotion that is his real passion.

NEW 香蕉视频直播� National Extreme Wrestling 香蕉视频直播� has sold out it香蕉视频直播檚 next card at The Commodore on Friday, March 24 with just over 900 tickets being accounted for.

Growing up as a fan of All-Star Wrestling in the 70香蕉视频直播檚 with the likes Gene Kiniski, The Brute and Dutch Savage, it香蕉视频直播檚 great to see a local, independent circuit do so well.

Fai香蕉视频直播檚 extensive resume can now include 香蕉视频直播榳restling promoter香蕉视频直播� as well.
