I don't really know how to feel about this, beyond the fact that Canucks fans hate it. So right now I like it.

Some gems from Draft Day 2013:

Vancouver:

Spoiler!

Velociraptor
With Shinkaruk, Erne, Mantha and Rychel all available with 5 picks to go, we could get two real quality forwards here today. Knowing Calgary they'll go with Fucale or Jankowski-esque swing for the fences.

Trade up! Trade up! Take Shinkaruk!!

(Flames Draft Poirier at #22)

BoHorvatFan
Off the board Feaster.

BrandonL
YES! I LOVE FEASTER
Makes Gillis look like an evil genius.

(Washington takes Burakovsky #23)

thefeebster
We can get hunter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't mess this one up.

Proto
Oh.. my... god. Gillis just had a gem drop in his lap. This is a coup.

(Canucks take Shinkaruk at #24)

StringerBell
**** yes!!!!

Bourne Endeavor
BOYAH! Gillis managed to do something right!

Hunter is a very determined and competitive offensive player. He has very good skating ability with speed, quickness, change of pace, agility and excellent balance, which allows him to play in traffic and versus bigger players without being nullified. He's hungry to score and will pay the price to score and get to the scoring areas. He has very good hands and can beat goaltenders in a variety of ways and he is able to make those plays quickly and in tight areas. Recognizes offensive opportunities and he 'jumps' quickly when he sees the chance to take advantage and he does so with or without the puck. He plays with a competitive edge where he is simply not going to allow himself to be denied and he wants to be a difference maker in the game.

JerkChicken
Effin' rights!
I CAN NOT BELIEVE that he fell to #24.
Wow, Flames fans must be choked. WOW.

From CP:

Only thing standing between the Flames and Shinkaruk is Toronto.

Erick Estrada
I hate the Leafs. I fully expect them to take Hunter.

(Leafs take Gauthier #21)

Flames: Poirier
Canucks: Shinkaruk
One way or another, we're going to be talking about this for a LONG time.

dissentowner
Well I hope now the rumours about him being a wussy db are true, perfect fit for the Nucks if so.

GirlySports
Hate him already.

FlameZilla
Shinkaruk will haunt us forever.

I doubt there's ever been a player who's had the Flames fan base turn on them so quickly, so fast, twice.

June 30, 2013 2:17 pm: WE WANT SHINKARUK!!
June 30, 2013 2:29 pm: EFF YOU SHINKARUK!! I hope you fail in heck forever!

February 22, 2016 2:51 pm: Shinkaruk? I hate that guy, lazy, no good, gonna be a bust, Canuck loser poop-face.
February 22, 2016 2:52 pm: Wait, what? For real? Is that confirmed? Woah...
February 22, 2016 2:53 pm: Top 20 scorer in the AHL! Hope he scores 1000 points in the league for us LOLZORS VANCOUVER!!!
