    I wasn’t ready for get teary over Canucks news in February, but here we are.

    Losing a young pup is devastating, sadly speaking from personal experience.

  2. My god, after reading the headline I thought Rick Rypien had died

    Fuck my favourite team.

    The Canucks better win that God damn cup for Ryp

  4. shmoove_cwiminal

    Well that’s crappy that a dog named in honour of Rick Rypien has died prematurely. 

  5. Mysterious_Rub_5000

    They’re refusing to say what happened. I really hope they’re not trying to cover up negligence of some kind.

  6. I’m full on cheering for the Canucks now 😭😢 win it for lil good boy!!!

    The Canucks are negotiating with league for an expansion puppy but in the interim, they acquired a new puppy from Boston for Demko and 2 kittens to be named later.

    edit: seriously? this gets downvotes? It’s a freaking joke, specifically about about Demko not shaking Boston’s goalie’s hand after the all-star game. Sheesh, acquire a sense of humor.

    edit 2: dumbasses doubling down crack me up. I make a joke about Ryp sleeping with Hughes’ mom and 25+ upvotes. I make an innocuous joke about trading the goalie and it gets downvoted like I said something nice about Bettman. Well, bring it then. I can sure as hell afford it.

    God damn it.. mine as well end the season now. Raise the banner in Vancouver. But seriously never fun to lose a dog, young or old.

    Canucks were already my 2nd team, now I want them to win it all for both Ryp’s

  11. turbulentcounselor

  12. Busy-Operation5489

    I’m just wondering how especially only 2 years old..

  13. Perryth3Fratypus

  14. notmyrealnam3

    FFFF

    Not sure if Dogs to go to heaven, but whereever they go thats where I want to go as well.

  17. CoconutBangerzBaller

    This is so sad. Any word on what happened to him?

  18. LabApprehensive5666

    Only 2 years old? Hmmm. My yorkie is 14 years old…..Did Ryp have undisclosed health issues?

  19. Obvious_Exercise_910

    Suddenly the name Ryp takes on a dark new meaning.

    Is this why my Canucks Cup cash out went up like 30%?! Not even joking; did everyone just put them as their bets or something?

  21. starwestsky

    That sucks. Condolences to Nucks nation. He was a good boy, and I’m sure you made sure he knew it.

  22. Mixed-Meta-Force

    What happened to him? Did he have a disease, or was some caretaker irresponsible and the pup was injured? I mean, a 2-yr-old puppy doesn’t just die.

    On the news, they said that in response to a request for more information about how the two-year-old died, a Canucks spokesperson said “respectfully, we will not be commenting further.”

    Sounds to me like somebody was negligent. This makes me so mad. Poor puppy, doomed to be part of that selfish organization. I only hope the little guy didn’t suffer.

  23. No_Opportunity2789

    Welp, I’m officially rooting for the nucks this season, RIP Ryp!

    My best buddy died recently and I’m just not the same since

    Losing a puppy is definitely devastating sorry for your loss canuck fans. But let’s get real here doesn’t anyone remember a young man named Ben Stelter who lost his battle to a heartbreaking disease just a little while ago. After the oilers win it for that little hero than the canucks can have one for Ryp.
