Canucks' Reid Boucher: Untapped Potential

Canucks' Reid Boucher: Untapped Potential

February 19th, 2019 Currently sitting sixth in AHL scoring is the Utica Comets' Reid Boucher who is boasting 49 points in 42 games in 2018-19 — the Vancouver Canucks are missing their window of opportunity to extract Boucher's potential. On top of his 1.17 points-per-game, Boucher is also fourth the AHL in goals (24) despite playing three games less...
Luc Bourdon Remembered

Luc Bourdon Remembered

February 17th, 2019 May 29, 2008 — a quiet, but tragic day in the small town of Lameque, New Brunswick. Vancouver Canucks defenceman Luc Bourdon lost his life in Lameque as a result of a terrible motorcycle accident. Winds gusted at around 50 km/h that day in Lameque, making keeping balance on two wheels all that more difficult for an inexperienced...
Time for Canucks to Worry About Goldobin

Time for Canucks to Worry About Goldobin

February 16th, 2019 Yes, it is officially time for the Vancouver Canucks to worry about Nikolay Goldobin. I'll be the first to admit that perhaps I jumped on the Goldobin-negativity ship a little too early last season, but the excuses for this young man have all but sailed away. https://twitter.com/jawnjang/status/1096291301102764032 The 23-year-old...
Vancouver Giants Are the Real Deal

Vancouver Giants Are the Real Deal

January 25th, 2019 At the top of the WHL's BC Division are the Vancouver Giants with a 30-12-2-0 record. Equipped with some star power, primarily on defense, the Giants play stingy hockey and shut down the best of teams. One concern heading into the Jan. 10 trade deadline, was the Giants' lack of a premier goal-scorer in their top six. Expectations were...
Why the Vancouver Canucks Are a Playoff Team

Why the Vancouver Canucks Are a Playoff Team

January 22nd, 2019 Yes, you read that title correctly. The Vancouver Canucks are currently a playoff team in the National Hockey League. Players are stepping up at the right time and systems are being played quite effectively – the Canucks are playing a fast and tough to play against style of hockey. Considering the Canucks haven't seen the postseason in...
Canucks Prospect Pipeline: Tyler Madden

Canucks Prospect Pipeline: Tyler Madden

January 4th, 2019 Another member of the Vancouver Canucks' stacked prospect pipeline is Tyler Madden of the Northeastern Huskies in the NCAA. Madden is a prospect who has been overshadowed by names like Quinn Hughes, Olli Juolevi and Michael DiPietro, among others, but his name has been surfacing more  of late. With the 2019 IIHF World...
Canucks Prospect Pipeline: Michael DiPietro

Canucks Prospect Pipeline: Michael DiPietro

December 29th, 2018 (Originally published Nov. 23, 2018) The Vancouver Canucks picked up a gem in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft with the third round selection of Michael DiPietro. The 20-year-old is largely regarded as one of, if not the, best goalies in the OHL. In fact, he was last season. DiPietro has started the 2018-19 season very...
Canucks' Bo Horvat: The Emergence

Canucks' Bo Horvat: The Emergence

December 11th, 2018 The Vancouver Canucks' Bo Horvat has emerged in the 2018-19 season as one of the best two-way centers in the NHL. In the wake of several key injuries this season, Horvat has elevated his play in multiple facets of the game. Coming into the season, Horvat was a heavy favourite to be named captain of the Canucks but the team...
