Introducing the Unreal Canucks GIF Tournament, a quest to determine which Canucks GIF is the greatest in existence. We’ve narrowed it down to 32 candidates, divided into four divisions then seeded, one through eight. Now we need your help. An important note: this isn’t just something to do while the players and the owners waste time bickering over who should get what’s left of the money they’re burning — it’s also a super-important initiative. After all, if we don’t do this, how else will we know? AND WE MUST KNOW.

UNREAL CANUCKS GIF TOURNAMENT — FIRST ROUND, KESLER DIVISION

(2) We call this gif DANIEL SEDIN GETS KESLURKED.

This is the Platonic form of Keslurking. What we see in the world and describe as Keslurking is only so defined as it conforms to the perfect idea of Keslurking that we envision in our mind. This gif is that perfect idea of Keslurking. While other Keslurks may be more creative or bizarre, this is Keslurking distilled to its essence. And it is beautiful.

(7) We call this gif HOCKEY TWO-STEP.

Sometimes you’ve just gotta dance. It doesn’t matter if you’re in the middle of a professional hockey game and the only available partner is Tomas Kopecky of the Chicago Blackhawks, when that urge to dance takes you over, you cannot resist. And since you’re not in middle school any more, you don’t keep your partner at arm’s length when you dance; you must get intimate. So you press your body close to Kopecky, swivel your hips…and begin.

OKAY. Now let’s vote.
