By Bryan Reynolds -
Well now... anything we need to talk about today? Let's see here. Canucks were in town, Luongo was chased, the Sedins scored some points, and the Wild thumped the 'Nucks. Yeah, no nothing special here. Just not sure why everyone is hanging out around here... I mean what is it you're looking for?
Before we make the jump, if anyone knows the fans that were involved, send either me or Nathan an email, would you? Or contact us on Twitter. This is a site for the fans after all. A fan was involved, and we would love to hear their story.

Please stay tuned to Hockey Wilderness and Nucks Misconduct as this story unfolds. There will certainly be more, as the NHL will not sit around and wait, since the Canucks play the Hawks tonight. Although, they could certainly do what they did with Avery and suspend him "indefinitely" pending a hearing.
