The Canucks’ moms are with the team on their two-game road trip (compare the happy picture above with this one of the Leafs’ dads), and everyone was having a good time in Vancouver’s 3-1 win at Colorado. No one more so than Beth Bartkowski, who saw her son score his first goal in more than three months.


A good reminder that no matter how crazy fans can get, no one will ever root for you harder than your mom.


If you haven’t gotten your fill of the moms, Ben Hutton’s mother Janet served as the reporter for yesterday’s morning skate.
