50/50 Situation

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009 Posted in Canucks, NHL | No Comments »

It's the eve of the unrestricted free agency period and I'll admit that I'm a little nervous. If you had asked me what I thought of the Sedin twins chances of re-signing with the Vancouver Canucks before the NHL draft, I ...

Getting to Know - Jordan Schroeder

Saturday, June 27th, 2009 Posted in Canucks, NHL Entry Draft | 2 Comments »

My own personal goal for the Vancouver Canucks heading into the draft was to secure a blueliner who could play at both ends of the ice. Apparently Mike Gillis had other ideas -- draft the best player available -- and ...

The Sundin Pickle

Sunday, December 21st, 2008 Posted in Canucks | 1 Comment »

Alright, I'll admit it. As much as I disliked the move when it happened, it might turn out to be one of the best moves the Vancouver Canucks have ever made. I'm not talking about the decision to sign Mats Sundin, ...

Why I Hate HNIC

Sunday, December 21st, 2008 Posted in Canucks, NHL | 4 Comments »

It's not that I hate Hockey Night In Canada. Hate is such a strong word these days, and to say that during the holidays certainly could put me on that "naughty" list. But if there's any reason behind my current ...

Linden Forever

As fans, there's always discussion as to who is the greatest player to have ever played for the Vancouver Canucks. Sure, you could argue that Pavel Bure may have been the most talented. You could say that Kirk McLean was ...

Johnson’s absence will hurt

Thursday, November 27th, 2008 Posted in Canucks | No Comments »

You'd think losing a centre who has scored just one goal and three points in 22 games thus far is easily replaceable. Not Ryan Johnson. No, because let's be honest here; Ryan Johnson wasn't brought along for the ride this season to ...

August Not Coming Fast Enough

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008 Posted in CFL, Canucks, NHL | No Comments »

So while Canuck fans are impatiently waiting Mats Sundin's decision on whether or not he will return to the NHL and if so to which Canadian club, there's a lot of other notable news going on around the NHL and ...

Put ‘Em Up

Friday, July 11th, 2008 Posted in Canucks | 1 Comment »

If I had a dollar for every fight the Vancouver Canucks were involved in last season … well, I would probably be a pretty rich man. However if I had a dollar for every fight they won … Well, I ...

Sundin Is Coming

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008 Posted in Canucks | 2 Comments »

I've got a really strange feeling about what's going to shake down in the next couple of weeks, or even days. It's clear that if the Vancouver Canucks somehow manage to lure Mats Sundin to the West, the team is, ...

A Cruel Summer

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008 Posted in Canucks | 3 Comments »

I'm normally a pretty positive Vancouver Canuck fan, but these last three months have been extremely hard for me, and I'm sure it's equally trying for every single fan in this town. In my own view, this is probably one ...
