The Rundown The new look New York Rangers were in town Wednesday night. The Rangers weren’t the only team with a new look, though, as deadline acquisitions Tyler Motte and Brendan Leipsic made their Canuck debuts. Jacob Markstrom made his third straight start in goal for the Canucks, coming off playing back-to-back Sunday against Arizona, and…
The Vancouver Canucks are a ship without a rudder; lost at sea, drifting aimlessly in the wind, and captained by a man who prays to God the ship washes up on the shores of friendly territory. What other conclusions could you possibly come to after analyzing the organization’s moves over the last week? First, the…

Well now, things sure are heated in the lower mainland these days — so much negativity. The Canucks lose one game and the world turns on its side. Tonight, Vancouver will look to right the ship against an old friend, the New York Rangers. New York has publically stated they are rebuilding and have sold…
So the trade deadline has come and gone, and the Canucks had a part to play in it, acquiring Brendan Leipsic, Tyler Motte and Jussi Jokinen in separate deals involving Philip Holm and Thomas Vanek. That’s not going over so well in a market that wanted to see their favourite team leave the market with…

Well, yesterday sure was eventful. There was no shortage of movement on the February 26th trade deadline, and some it involved well-established names and players with term left on their contract. No, it was no ordinary deadline. How did the #Canucks do at the 2018 Trade Deadline? @Johnny_Perogy has his recap: https://t.co/ILLzIbhHoU pic.twitter.com/rNY5sw5ove — CanucksArmy…
Is the best move the Canucks made today the one they didn’t make (e.g. Hutton)? Also, are the worst moves the Canucks made also the ones they also didn’t make (e.g. DJ MDZ)? — Mike Folka (@mikefolka) February 27, 2018 Yeah, I think that’s a fair assessment of yesterday’s trade deadline in a lot of…
Can Utica win it all? — ReefKeef (@HarderKeefer) February 27, 2018 The Comets have seriously turned their season around in spite of injuries, call-ups and all other sorts of misfortune. The work that Comets head coach Trent Cull is doing is nothing short of spectacular. I can’t think of any aspect of the Comets that…
The Rundown On the heels of two deadline day deals, the Canucks came into tonight’s game against Colorado shorthanded. With Thomas Vanek being dealt to Columbus, the Canucks were short a forward and dressed seven defensemen. Jacob Markstrom got the start after making a season-high, 41 saves last night in a 3-1 win over the…
This year’s trade deadline was hotly anticipated in Vancouver. With a playoff spot far out of reach, the Canucks were expected to sell an asset or two. When the team locked up their biggest trade chip in Erik Gudbranson to a multi-year deal, all eyes turned to Thomas Vanek. As expected, Vanek was dealt with…
The Vancouver Canucks have sent forward Thomas Vanek to the Columbus Blue Jackets for Jussi Jokinen and Tyler Motte.
