There have been, like, a billion songs written about the Vancouver Canucks this postseason. We wish this was an understatement. At this point everyone in the city has appeared in one of these videos. Twice.
As Game 2 against the San Jose Sharks looms on Tuesday night, we wanted to provide a little musical accompaniment. Frankly, we're in awe of the quality and the quantity of these tunes — some of which you've heard before and others that we haven't featured.

Finally, this is a song we featured the other day, but now there's an accompanying video that's … like … we don't have the words. Ladies and gents, Ivan Hrvatska believes the Canucks will make love to the Stanley Cup.
