Earlier this month, THW's Mike Coll…
Pittsburgh PenguinsTonight We are done Set the town on fire We can burn higher than the sun Instead of being saddened by the latest early playoff exit, many Canuck fans are angry – Angry at controversial officiating, the lack of player movements, the dumbest player trades, the persistent goaltending controversy, the agonizing losing streaks, and the ...
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 ...
Chicago and Detroit. The classic rivalry between two Original Six teams that emulates more of a “big brother” rivalry than a pure hatred between two foes. Any Blackhawks fan worth their breath will tell you that “Detroit Sucks,” but deep down they all know that there is a mutual respect between both teams on the ...
It’s only been three games but Vancouver forward Zack Kassian is quickly becoming a favorite of the Canucks fan base. He has scored two goals so for on the season and after fighting Edmonton’s Ben Eager gave the home crowd a fist pump. Needless to say, don’t be surprised to see more number nine jerseys ...
So the Canucks lost again. In a shootout this time, but still. Many fans are starting to get worried. What I have to say about that is “No need to worry!” It has only been two games since the start of the season. Historically, the Canucks haven’t done well in the beginning of the season. ...
The Vancouver Canucks open the abridged 2013 NHL season Saturday as they host the Anaheim Ducks.

There are a ton of questions facing the team this year and after a ...
Yes the NHL lockout has finally ended. We as fans are all happy and anxious for the games to begin. But perhaps there is none more anxious than the ten names on the following list. There are a variety of reasons why I choose these specific players, for some it was because of the opportunity ...
For the third and final installment of AHL players to keep an eye on during the NHL lockout (there seems to be no light at the end of this tunnel) I have found another talented group of up-and-comers. When (and if) the next NHL season starts the majority, if not all, of these youngsters will ...
The Buffalo Sabres’ needs have been apparent for quite some time. They need a guy that can step up and produce in the first-line center role. Most thought they had their guy when Derek Roy jumped in. However, low production and injuries may have rushed him out of that role, and Buffalo completely. Roy’s trade is ...
Character. It was supposed to be the centerpiece of Mike Gillis’ tenure in Vancouver. It’s what deterred Gillis from selecting the talented, but unpredictable, Kyle Beach with the 10th pick at the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. It’s what led him to an 18-year-old playmaker named Cody Hodgson. If Gillis intended to build an organization ...
