Canucks waive Kyle Wellwood

When an NHL team picks you up off the waiver wire and your stint with them starts with the coach publicly impugning your fitness, it’s probably not a good sign.

That was the case with talented Canucks forward Kyle Wellwood, who was sent back to the waiver wire Friday after playing in just one regular-season game and recording no points.

It’s a shame, as I had high hopes for Wellwood. I really thought he’d have learned his lesson after he fell into the river of chocolate and the Oompa-Loompas sucked him up through that tube, but I guess not. Just goes to show, you can lead an athlete to a million-dollar contract, but you can’t make him work for it.

  1. I’m confused… Did Wellwood break his leg falling into the river of chocolate?

    And…

    Is that a Oompa-Loompa standing on the right?

    It appears to be a lifeguard. Not that I’m looking at her ass or anything.

    Wellwood kind of looks like he’s preparing a left-handed cigarette.
