Injuries Killing Canucks' Playoff Hopes

Injuries Killing Canucks' Playoff Hopes

December 11th, 2017 The month of November was a painful time for the Vancouver Canucks both figuratively, and primarily literally—a handful of injuries to key players has left the Canucks in a bad place at a key point of the season. Coming into the 2017-18 season, nobody expected the Canucks to actually be competing for a playoff position, but they...
Derek Dorsett Retires

Derek Dorsett Retires

November 30th, 2017 In sad NHL news, veteran forward Derek Dorsett has decided that he will not be returning to the Vancouver Canucks active roster due to health concerns and the risks that come with playing hockey. The news was announced by the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday morning. https://twitter.com/Canucks/status/936248464631128064 This news also...
Canucks Are Consistently Inconsistent

Canucks Are Consistently Inconsistent

November 19th, 2017 We give up! Trying to work out these Vancouver Canucks is a fool's errand. They win when they're meant to lose and they lose when they're supposed to win. Saturday night's game against the St. Louis Blues offered just the latest example of how the only thing fans should expect, is the unexpected (along with the need for a few strong...
Canucks Show Promise with Hot Start

Canucks Show Promise with Hot Start

November 1st, 2017 The Canucks have stunned almost everyone with their hot start to the season. After 11 games, Vancouver is third in the Pacific Division with six wins. Were it not for the Vegas Golden Knights, the Canucks would likely be the season's surprise package. While much of their success can be attributed to excellent goaltending, the team has...
Who Does Derek Dorsett Think He Is?!

Who Does Derek Dorsett Think He Is?!

October 27th, 2017 Something strange is happening right now with the Vancouver Canucks. Predicted not to do much prior to this season, they returned earlier this week from a five-game road trip where they picked up eight points, when in truth, it would have been an achievement to even go .500. Now, following Thursday night's comprehensive 6-2 beat down...
Derek Dorsett: A Man On a Mission

Derek Dorsett: A Man On a Mission

October 26th, 2017 Through nine games, the Vancouver Canucks are sitting third in the Pacific Division with a record of 5-3-1 -- this is definitely a surprise to most fans and critics of the team. The biggest surprise, though, is the play of Derek Dorsett. Regularly known for being a grinder and physical presence, he has turned heads with his production...
Canucks Penalty Kill Is on Fire

Canucks Penalty Kill Is on Fire

October 25th, 2017 The Vancouver Canucks had a horrific season in 2016-17 with terrible statistics across the board. Their penalty kill stats were no exception, as Vancouver had the third-worst penalty kill percentage in the league at 76.7%. With the departures of Alex Burrows and Jannik Hansen last season, an already dismal penalty kill lost two key...
Oilers Receive Early Season Wake-Up Call

Oilers Receive Early Season Wake-Up Call

October 8th, 2017 It was bound to happen. After starting the 2017-18 campaign with a shutout win over their provincial rivals and media across the league singing their praises, the Edmonton Oilers showed they still have a ways to go in order to reach the lofty expectations of their recent press clippings. Make no mistake, this team is good but it is one...
4 Canucks Vegas Fans Should Know

4 Canucks Vegas Fans Should Know

June 5th, 2017 Ok, Vegas Golden Knights fans we're down to the final three teams on our rundown of players you should be familiar with. Take a second and educate yourselves on the 108 players we've covered to this point. The NHL universe thanks you in advance. As a reminder, teams will submit their lists of players protected from the expansion draft...
Galchenyuk Out Indefinitely, Enroth Waived & More News

Galchenyuk Out Indefinitely, Enroth Waived & More News

December 5th, 2016 The Canadiens are about to face a major challenge. Monday, the club announced that center Alex Galchenyuk is out indefinitely with a lower-body injury. They've offered few details, but he went for tests Monday in St. Louis and the team will update his situation in the near future. He suffered the injury Sunday afternoon against...
Russian Brawl Follows Canucks & Panthers Scrum

Russian Brawl Follows Canucks & Panthers Scrum

January 13th, 2016 If you haven't heard yet, the Vancouver Canucks actually won on Monday night against the NHL's hottest club, the Florida Panthers. It was an overtime beauty by one of the best goal scorers in the game, Daniel Sedin. The win had a lot more meaning than it's being given. It also had a lot more excitement than the brawl that ensued after...
Prust and Dorsett More Than Enforcers for Canucks

Prust and Dorsett More Than Enforcers for Canucks

September 25th, 2015 Fighting in hockey produced another casualty last week, with the death of former NHLer Todd Ewen. Every death attributed to fighting in hockey gives life to the opinion that the role of the enforcer is no longer needed in our game. The Canucks showed the same attitude last season when they sent Tom Sestito down to the minors. In...
Canucks Predictions: Bottom-Six Forwards

Canucks Predictions: Bottom-Six Forwards

September 22nd, 2015 For all the skepticism and questions surrounding the Canucks top-six forwards, like if the Sedin twins are still elite performers, whether Alex Burrows or Radim Vrbata is the right guy for first line duty or if Bo Horvat or Brandon Sutter will lock up the second line position, the collection of bottom six forwards have an interesting...
How the Canucks Built Themselves a Prospect Haven

How the Canucks Built Themselves a Prospect Haven

August 26th, 2015 Just a few years ago when the Vancouver Canucks were still fresh off their dishearteningly close Stanley Cup Final defeat, the team had stripped itself of a sure future. Like most teams on the cusp of winning a championship, former General Manager Mike Gillis took a risk. He decided that trading numerous draft picks and prospects in...
3 Canucks Veterans Bound for a Big Year

3 Canucks Veterans Bound for a Big Year

August 4th, 2015 While the hockey world debates the substance of the Canucks' offseason moves and often the intellect of the Canucks' brass, the reality is that the moves they are making do follow their words. In an attempt to infuse youth into the lineup, remaining respectively competitive is still what's going to sell tickets. Let's not forget what...
