Canucks' Eriksson Showing Signs of Improvement
January 10th, 2020 Apparently, lightning strikes more than once. On Tuesday, Jan. 7, the Tampa Bay Lightning struck nine times in their 9-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks, including six goals in the second period. Poor Jacob Markstrom could not find shelter quick enough during this surge as his team left him out to dry. Surprisingly, Loui Eriksson was...
Canucks' AHL Update from Utica
December 31st, 2019 Who doesn't like a good trip to the farm? There is plenty of cows, pigs, goats and other fun animals. Through 32 games, Vancouver Canucks' American Hockey League affiliate or “farm” team, the Utica Comets, continues to impress with its league-leading goal-scoring efforts.

Canucks' 2019 Draft Class Update
December 13th, 2019 It was yet another devastating loss for the Vancouver Canucks in this past June’s draft lottery. Vancouver is not unfamiliar with losing draft lotteries.

Vancouver won that game thanks in...

November 25th, 2019 In one month, a new decade will begin, starting with 2020. That year almost sounds fake. Fake like the move Bo Horvat used to beat Braden Holtby in the seventh round of the shootout on Nov. 23 against the Washington Capitals. However, the looming decade is not fake but a reality. Therefore, it is appropriate to revisit the history of...
Quarterly Review: Strong Start for Canucks Forwards
November 17th, 2019 Thursday’s loss to the Dallas Stars marked the quarter point of the NHL season for the Vancouver Canucks. Technically, one-quarter of 82 games is 20.5 which would fall in the second period of last game against the Colorado Avalanche. Although, is anyone actually counting? Disregard the official quarter-way point. Truly, the main...
