“You know, you’ll read all these things about this or that unhappiness, I can tell you this: they’re happy for J.T. They’re genuinely happy for him.” - the actual Michael Bublé

Canucks roundup February 2nd 2025 - February 9th 2025 (featuring more Bublé):

Sherwood after missing four games: "I haven't chirped anyone in a week. Feels like a couple months."

Michael Bublé on Demko, Petey, and J.T.:

“I wrote Thatcher last night [after his 3-0 shutout against the Avalanche] and told him that I was just happy for him. I know it means a lot, and he loves the people here, man. He just loves it, it means a lot to him. He’s a really competitive guy, and I know they care. They want to be here.

“I can see Petey’s turning it on, and he’s happy, and he’s doing - he wants it real bad. You know, he wants to show everybody, he wants to show the doubters, and he wants to do it for himself, for his coach, for his teammates.

“You know, you’ll read all these things about this or that unhappiness, I can tell you this: they’re happy for J.T. They’re genuinely happy for him. Those guys are happy for his success, they know he had to go, of course they know what they’re losing, but they’re also happy for themselves. That’s a happy dressing room. That’s a bunch of guys who are really excited to show us that they’re galvanized, that they want this badly.”

D-Petey has been learning how to fight from an Abby teammate:

Quadrelli: “I got told very recently by a source out in Abbotsford that, either after after a practice or before a practice, D-Petey was out with one of the AHL guys learning where to grab on the jersey, and he was practicing some form for how to fight […] he was just out there practicing his technique.”

Chytil on Hronek (who chirped him in Czech during the media scrum) after getting to Vancouver:

“Yeah, we’ve played a couple tournaments together […] he’s a very good guy. When I heard about the trade, he was texting me right after the game in Dallas. It was very nice from him, and then other guys on the team reached out to me as well. It’s very nice from them, and I’m very happy it was like that. With Filip, yeah, he’s helping me already. I’ve been here a couple hours, but he’s helping me a lot, and I’m very happy he’s here.”
