Vancouver clearly isn't over losing the Stanley Cup.

The following tweet was sent out Thursday night by Northlands Golf Course, a course located in the metro Vancouver area.

Anton Volchenkov receives free golf for the rest of the year @northlandsgc because of this. youtu.be/8A8ihdNfCnw

That, of course, is the hit Anton Volchenkov laid on Bruins forward Brad Marchand during Wednesday night's game in New Jersey. Volchenkov received a four-game suspension Thursday from the NHL, while the Marchand, an agitator who has drawn the ire of the rest of the league, is out indefinitely with what the Bruins deemed a "mild concussion."

Sweet offer, Northlands.

The golf course soon deleted the tweet.
