So Now What for the Struggling Vancouver Canucks?
February 10th, 2015 The Vancouver Canucks didn’t play overly poorly against the Minnesota Wild Monday night. Rather, the game just seemed like it wasn’t the Canucks’ night. The game against the Wild was indicative of the growing trend that a lot of Canucks’ games in recent weeks just haven’t been Vancouver’s night. One good game seems to...
Adam Clendening Trade a Surprising, Yet Smart Move by Jim Benning
January 30th, 2015 The Vancouver Canucks traded flavour of the World Juniors in Gustav Forsling to the Chicago Blackhawks for defenseman Adam Clendening and the immediate reaction was sort of split. I see merits in both sides of the aisle: Clendening is a young, offensively gifted defenseman who's ready for a shot in the NHL, and the Canucks have a need in...
Bo Horvat: From a Rookie Question Mark to a Vital Player
January 23rd, 2015 The Vancouver Canucks’ 2013 first rounder Bo Horvat is somewhat the face of the next generation of Canucks. The Sedins are in the latter half of their careers and the roster is in a state of flux in regards to the Canucks’ future outlooks, so the 19-year-old has plenty of eyes on him. Fan excitement received a large bump in December...

Jake Virtanen Flashes Size, Speed, and Skill at World Juniors
December 30th, 2014 The Vancouver Canucks have three prospects playing at the World Juniors: Jake Virtanen, Thatcher Demko, and Gustav Forsling. While the latter two prospects play on the U.S. and Swedish teams respectively, Jake Virtanen, by way of being drafted 6th overall this past Spring and playing on Team Canada, is going to garner the most attention...
T.J. Brodie: Robin to Mark Giordano's Batman
December 18th, 2014 Much has been made of Calgary Flames’ defenseman Mark Giordano’s start to the season and rightfully so. The Flames’ captain leads NHL defensemen in scoring to the tune of 31 points in 33 games. Giordano’s running mate T.J. Brodie, however, isn’t nearly as talked about even though the 24 year old sits fifth in scoring among...
