One of the worst aspects of the Winnipeg Jets being in the Southeast Division is that we only get to see Tanner Glass, bear-fighter, and Kyle Wellwood, defensive superstar, once this season. Glass and Wellwood are two of PITB’s favourite former Canucks and it has been incredibly rewarding to see them experience success in Winnipeg. The Jets are currently in 8th place in the Eastern Conference and are battling with the Capitals and Sabres for that final playoff spot, and the contributions of Glass and Wellwood are playing a big role.

The biggest nerd on the Canucks this season left town at the trade deadline, but he couldn’t touch Kyle Wellwood, the library enthusiast, when it comes to nerdity. The Halo-playing, Ayn Rand-reading, no-TV-watching weirdo was a little more under-appreciated in Vancouver, however.

Winnipeg, on the other hand, loves him unequivocally.

Regular PITB readers (the ones we call Bulies) know that we’ve been following the adventures of adorable ex-Canuck Kyle Wellwood all season. It’s been quite the ride. When we began the Wellwood’s World feature, we expected to update you once a month or so on Wellwood’s stats abroad. Instead, we’ve been blessed with a full fledged international saga — one that’s now come full circle, as Wellwood’s Sharks get set to face off against the hometown Canucks.

Canuck fans, upon hearing negative opinions regarding their team. In the past few weeks, Kyle Wellwood, Mike Babcock, and Theo Fleury have all come under fire for some pretty offensive comments. Yes, unforgivable utterances, these. The things they said were so vile that it apparently became acceptable to forgo proper human decency and, instead, return [...]

When we last left the non-stop actioner that is the life of Kyle Wellwood, Welly was making his triumphant return from exile, now in a San Jose Sharks uniform. He seemed excited about going to the Sun Belt, and relieved to be home from Russia, the bizarro nation where stray dogs reenact famous scenes from [...]

Canucks 1 – 2 Sharks Before we go any further, a brief dissertation on the first game back from a road trip: we saw, in The Game That Shall Not Be Named, and in the wise words of the team’s sleep doctor, that the first game back from a road trip often yields a team [...]

Let’s be very clear: when we began closely following Kyle Wellwood’s career, we had no idea it was going to be this interesting. Well, maybe we did. Even on a slow day, Kyle Wellwood is impossibly interesting, but we genuinely expected the Wellwood’s World feature to be a lame list of stats followed by a [...]

You might recall The Vancouver Wellwoods, PITB’s official, adopted women’s street hockey team. These Play On! Burnaby champions (and adorable young ladies) have united under the Wellwoodian philosophy “Training = Cheating,” and are one of six women’s street hockey teams invited to Hockey Day in Canada’s Play On! national championship in Victoria. And now they [...]

The Wellwoods are a women’s street hockey team from Vancouver. More than that, they are a women’s street hockey team named for Kyle Wellwood. My first inclination is to question why anyone would do such a thing. Is it because all the women in this photo are adorable? Is it because this team is the [...]

Update: apparently this isn’t officially confirmed and GM Doug Armstrong is denying it. But that’s just shame. He’ll get over it. It was only last Tuesday that we delivered the bundle of nonjoy that was the end of Kyle Wellwood’s contract with Atlant Moscow Oblant. Two days later, things got a little brighter, as we [...]

Ask it to Bulis is a regular feature wherein casual readers and hardcore Bulies alike can put their questions to two guys no more qualified to answer than they are. Harrison and Daniel preside: Greatest Canucks’ mustache: Babych or Snepsts? – @staticotakuH: Tough first question. I’m gonna go with Snepsts, and for totally subjective reasons. [...]

It was only just yesterday that we reported the sad news that Kyle Wellwood’s contract with the KHL’s Atlant Moscow Oblant had been terminated. Word was that the club was unhappy with his performance and they had therefore decided to end the relationship. But it turns out that’s not all to the story, as Wellwood [...]

The latest chapter in Kyle Wellwood’s wild and weird world is a sad one. Dmitry Chesnokov of Puck Daddy is reporting that Atlant Moscow Oblast has released the pudgy playmaker from his contract. The news comes from Russian sports website sports.ru, which apparently broke the story, but the website resists my translation attempts (ie. it [...]

If you follow Kyle Wellwood news as closely as we do (and why wouldn’t you?), you will have already heard the sad news: our favorite Ayn-Rand-reading, no-TV-watching, no-minor-penalty-taking little warrior will be taking his talents to Mytischi to play for Atlant Moscow Oblast. Despite a strong showing during the Phoenix Coyotes training camp, he was [...]

Oftentimes, no news is good news. That is definitely not the case when you’re an NHL free agent in the off-season. And when you’re a hockey blogger who happens to be a fan of said NHL free agent, no news is excruciating. We here at Pass it To Bulis! have made no secret of our [...]

Amidst all the big news about recent Canuck acquisitions, awards achieved, prospects camp, the draft, and everything else that’s made this offseason fairly interesting, we may be losing sight of the fact that some beloved Canuck alumni are on their way out the door. For us at PITB, the greatest of these is Kyle Wellwood. [...]
