Vancouver Canucks

Is This The Year for the Boston Bruins?

By Wayne Whittaker, Boston Bruins Correspondent Four wins. That’s all that separates both the Boston Bruins and the Vancouver Canucks from hockey’s ultimate prize. For Boston, it’s their first Cup appearance since 1990. Vancouver has been waiting since 1994 for another chance in the Final. While Boston has five Stanley Cups in their history, Vancouver ...

Magical Moment for Bieksa Sends Canucks to the Stanley Cup Finals After 3-2 Double OT Win

David Copperfield couldn’t have done it any better. Alex Edler’s seemingly-innocuous cycle toward the corner fooled almost everyone: 18,860 fans standing on their feet, nine skaters looking to where the puck should be, three referees, one goalie, one cameraman and even the on-air announcer.

What to do with the Canucks AHL affiliate?

The question not on everybody’s mind through the past few weeks is what will happen to Vancouver’s American Hockey League affiliate once a National League team officially moves to Winnipeg. The Vancouver Canucks and Manitoba Moose have had a harmonious relationship for years, since the folding of the defunct International League. In 2001 the Moose ...

Boyle’s Law: Goal, Assist Lift Sharks Past Canucks in Game 3, 4-3

Boyle’s Law describes the inversely proportional relationship between pressure and volume in a gas.  Dan Boyle laid down the law Friday night, and the San Jose Sharks had a gas. Boyle’s power play goal at the 6:46 mark of the third period turned into the game winner, as the Sharks withstood a furious comeback effort ...

Reversal of Fortune in Sharks 4-3 Win

SAN JOSE, Calif. (The Hockey Writers) Vancouver took the ice at HP Pavilion in San Jose Friday night with a 2-0 series lead and the Stanley Cup Final in their pocket. If you don’t believe that, just read their press clippings. You’ll be in good company, because it looked like that’s exactly what the Canucks ...
