VANCOUVER – The 40th player to wear a Vancouver Canucks jersey this season, goalie Nikita Tolopilo said Monday that the National Hockey League is a long way from his home town. He is from Minsk, in Belarus. But, really, the NHL is a long way from wherever you’re from. The best league in the world is just a fantasy, an impossible dream, for most players growing up. It’s an incredibly difficult destination to find, and even harder to stay for those lucky enough to get that opportunity.

VANCOUVER — There are always things to work on, but here are a couple of fundamental objectives when your team has been eliminated from the playoff race: don’t quit, and don’t get anyone else injured. It wasn’t just that the Vancouver Canucks went only one-for-two that infuriated them on Saturday night, but how veteran defenceman Derek Forbort was needlessly injured in the third period of the Minnesota Wild’s 3-2 overtime win at Rogers Arena. And it wasn’t even that Forbort was hurt in a fight.

DENVER – For young Elias Pettersson, the fight is just starting. Goalie Kevin Lankinen is trying to finish his breakthrough season strongly, and Dakota Joshua and Nils Hoglander are still trying to upgrade their years. Kiefer Sherwood and Conor Garland are chasing 20 goals. Meanwhile, a handful of young players – Aatu Raty, Linus Karlsson, Max Sasson, Vittorio Mancini and Pettersson – are auditioning for places in the National Hockey League next fall.

DENVER — Hello darkness my old friend, the Vancouver Canucks are here again. The misfortune and mistakes that plagued the Canucks this season, all the adversity and drama, reached a critical mass some time ago. But it took until Wednesday night and the Minnesota Wild’s 7-6 overtime win against the San Jose Sharks to finally eliminate Vancouver from the National Hockey League playoff race. “It hurts,” winger Brock Boeser, the longest-serving Canuck, said.

DENVER — The term “heavy lies the crown” is derived from a line in Shakespeare’s play Henry IV, Part 2. Had The Bard — tell me that’s not a great hockey nickname — been a fan of our game, he’d have written: “Uneasy lies the head that wears the ‘C.’”Quinn Hughes has felt the weight of that lettered patch this season, even when not wearing his Vancouver Canucks’ jersey.
