Devan Dubnyk isn’t a bad goalie. On some nights, he’s a very good goalie. He’s played his entire NHL career on a bad team, and thus it’s difficult to measure he’s ability to be a number starter in the league. The Oilers haven’t decided, at least not publicly, whether or not Dubnyk is their guy ...
The dust has settled on the 2013 season for the Vancouver Canucks and the second round of the playoffs has begun with the Canucks again sitting at home. There are a lot of questions about what the Canucks need to do in the off-season, and who should be at the helm to make the changes. ...
With the Vancouver Canucks now officially eliminated from the playoffs, being swept in four games by the San Jose Sharks, hockey pundits across the league have begun dissecting the team in hopes of analyzing just what went wrong. It is the second year in a row the Canucks played a great regular season, ...
Who could ever fault a team for squeaking into the playoffs and making the best of their situation? How could you justify knocking a team who seized an opportunity for their franchise and won the Stanley Cup in a complete surprise? I don’t think you could find a hockey fan that would deny those are ...
Okay, this is starting to become a repetitive and frustrating pattern.

The only news that’s coming out of the Canucks dressing room today is much of the same – Roberto Luongo is starting Game Two on Friday night. And, not much else to announce. There is little comfort in that Game One’s 3-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks wasn’t completely Luongo’s fault. At least he ...
Well, I’m glad that you asked. I’ve done a little research (you’re welcome), and some analysis and I’ve conquered the Western Conference bracket. Below are my predictions, with a brief synopsis of how I reached each decision. #1 Chicago Blackhawks vs. #8 Minnesota Wild Blackhawks won season series 2-0-1 The Chicago Blackhawks have been the ...
After the Vancouver Canucks’ 3-1 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Apr 25, there are still questions that linger about how ready the Canucks are for the challenging postseason ahead. No longer the best in the league, the Canucks will have an uphill battle when they challenge against very formidable opponents in the Western Conference. ...
I can’t help but focus on what a terrible week this has been for everyone. Hockey (really, all sports) has clearly taken a back seat since Monday’s horrible bombing at the Boston Marathon on Monday, April 15, leading up to the shooting and apprehension of the two suspects wanted in connection with the bombings on ...
