The Canucks are honoring Gino Odjick at tonight's game. The music they were playing during this ceremony was the intro to Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here." Very fitting, and it gave me goosebumps.

RIP Gino. You are very much missed, on and off the ice.

The Canucks are all in on honoring Gino

For clarity, I am not dead nor am I the Cleveland Guardians drummer.

I did meet him though and he was a nice guy. Bought his own season tickets. The only thing the franchise did for him was store his drum.

Yes, on the drive home I realized I might have phrased that poorly.

That's the understatement of the decade. It's like saying Neil Armstrong was an American astronaut. ;) Raquel Welch was iconic. Her name was literally a synonym for sex symbol.
