The Canuck Academy Awards

In honor of the Academy Awards coming up this Sunday, we here at Pass it to Bulis have taken it upon ourselves to award our own versions of the Academy Awards to our beloved Vancouver Canucks.

So let's take this opportunity to feel good about the team, pat each other on the back, and dress up like we're going to a shindig on Persephone.
