Sometimes you want to dig deep into the Vancouver Canucks’ off-season and prospects for 2017-18. Scroll around for more of that fun.
Sometimes, you just want to look at pictures of dogs and/or hockey players. And, really, what better time to paw at some puppy pics than #NationalDogDay?
This isn’t a comprehensive deal, but here are some of the NHL’s dog-day-dealings that stand out. In some cases, the individual tweets are the beginning of threads including even more doggos, so this post could be a helpful resource for smiles.

There are, of course, plenty of shots of players with their dogs. T.J. Brodie, for example, shared a great shot:
