Canucks Fans Love Their Pretty Boys

Vancouver, which bills itself as "Hollywood North", is a pretentious city where the citizens highly value good looks and the newest fashions.

Is it any surprise, then, that Taylor Pyatt, the metrosexual with the permanent mascara, has become one of the more popular Canucks for merchandise sales?

Pyatt, tall, dark and handsome, has emerged as a playoff star along with Trevor Linden.

But apparently his performance on the ice isn't the real reason he's a star.

"He's a good-looking guy," gushes Danielle. "He's got pretty-boy eyes."

A local sports blog lays it out in block letters.

"TAYLOR PYATT IS THE HOTTEST VANCOUVER CANUCK IN THE HISTORY OF HOTTEST CANUCKS!" according to the pinkseats.com, which also claims that Pyatt is single and rumoured to have a girlfriend

Ugh! Never mind that the guy has the IQ of a block of cheese, or is softer than an oreo dunked in milk for 20 minutes, he's just so ... dreamy!! OMG!!

Dating back to the day of Pavel Bure and Kirk MacLean, Canucks fans seem rather attracted to attractive people.

An average looking bloke like Alexander Mogilny? He wasn't so popular. The babyfaced Sedinbots? They aren't revered as they might be elsewhere. Dan Cloutier? The girls were all over that!

If you wanna be popular in Vancouver, you better be pretty, boy!
