This is a guest post by Liam Porter, who approached me recently after he had been fortunate enough to get to speak to the voice of Hockey Night in Canada, Jim Hughson, about a multitude of different topics. Their discussion ranged from how he got into broadcasting, to his most memorable calls, to what…
It’s been another exciting week for Canucks prospects as the Comets played 3 games in less than 72 hours, but they weren’t going to throw out "schedule loss" as an excuse two days before the game has already started. The Comets are now officially 1/3 of the way through their inagural season. Things are starting to slow down for the WHL,…
This puppy was energetic and lively at the start of the game, but.. I’m very cognizant of the fact that we just witnessed the Vancouver Canucks rip off 7 wins in a row, including a complete and utter butt whooping over the big bad Boston Bruins. This has been a very sweet stretch around these…
It’ll probably feel like a little bit of a lull after the high that was the butt whooping they gave the Boston Bruins on Saturday night, but Tuesday night’s game against the Minnesota Wild has some things going for it from a "reasons why you should watch" perspective. They aren’t division rivals any longer, but…
In the interest of putting something up on the old blag today and distract from the fact that Canucks fans are yet again in the heat of some silly non-hockey discussion, I thought it might be fun to take a quick look similar to a visual found at mc79hockey’s blog that dealt with team Corsi…
I love World Champian Brad Marchand.
On Friday night the Vancouver Canucks spanked the Edmonton Oilers with a 4-0 victory that wasn’t as closely contested as the score might indicate. It was probably Vancouver’s most thoroughly dominant performance of the season. At the end of it Zack Kassian made waves by probably mocking Sam Gagner’s jaw shield (y’know, the one Gagner wears…
Early start for the Vancouver Canucks tonight, as Hockey Night in Canada is in town and they forgot to change their clocks as the bus crawled past the Alberta-British Columbia border. The Edmonton Oilers are visiting, and while their recent record isn’t a big problem, they’re playing tonight on the second half of a back-to-back…
His hair’s sticking out He’s wearing a tie Feaster is out I’m telling you why Brian Burke is running cowtown
Two pretty good hockey players. This is a regular Friday feature combining a healthy mixture of observation, analysis, and foresight on the Vancouver Canucks. If you’d like to get at me about anything covered in this column, follow me on Twitter at @yyjordan and let’s start a textual relationship (wink). I missed you guys last…
Welcome to this week’s edition of the Canucks Weekly Prospect Report. As always I have all of your latest in Canucks’ prospect statistics and news. This time around, though, I take a deeper look at some of the #fancystats in the AHL, Utica Players Estimated TOI, Bo Horvat’s WOWY, and the NHLE Points of all of…
The Vancouver Canucks have won six of their last seven games, they boast the league’s best penalty-kill, and their controversial bench boss has been even keeled (mostly) while earning praise for his handling of the media. The John Tortorella era is off to about as good a start as anyone could’ve reasonably expected, well, except for…
