The Canucks took on the Chicago Blackhawks in the only NHL game scheduled on Halloween this year. The home team was able to walk away with a 4-2 win after an unlikely goal-scorer potted the game-winning goal in the middle of the third. Given that it was Halloween, none of our writers were available to…
Comets Roster Update It hasn’t been a busy week as far as games go for the Utica Comets, but thanks to a couple of injuries in Vancouver, the farm team has been busy making roster adjustments for the upcoming games against Laval this weekend. With Alex Biega, Guillaume Brisebois, and Adam Gaudette all up with…
THE INTRO It’s Halloween, so spooky! The Canucks and their ghoulish lineup will take on the visiting Chicago Blackhawks, the team that once gave them nightmares. Vancouver is coming off an impressive win over the Wild two nights ago with the help of super rookie Elias Pettersson. Pettersson is only getting better and better and…
The Canucks have gotten off to a surprisingly decent star this season, going 7-6-0 in their first 13 games to occupy the second spot int the Pacific. They’ve also benefited from lights-out performances from their top two centres, which has overshadowed the goings-on with the prospects in Utica and their struggles to stay in the…
These injury updates are almost becoming a daily thing. Last night, the Canucks lost Brandon Sutter to a shoulder injury and he is expected to miss a good chuck on time. Add that to the already ridiculously long list of injuries in the organization and it’s getting a little out of hand. Given the latest…
It’s been over two years since Jim Benning announced Olli Juolevi as the Vancouver Canucks first round pick, fifth overall at the 2016 entry draft. If you’re having a hard time gauging his development, that’s understandable as he’s only played a handful of games in North America since the completion of the London Knights season…
The Rundown The Vancouver Canucks came into tonight’s contest on the heels of getting blown out of their own building on Saturday night. Their opponent this evening was a tough Minnesota Wild team who had won 5 straight before facing a Canucks team that had lost 4 of its last 6 games. The Canucks were…
THE INTRO It just gets worse on the injury front for the Canucks: Anders Nilsson broke his finger in practice on the weekend and will be out a few weeks. What the Canucks should be concerning themselves with is defense, like committing to playing some. The Penguins shredded the Canucks defense on Saturday and it…
Author’s Note: I went through some personal stuff this week that made it impossible to complete part two of last week’s mailbag. It’s very important to me that everyone gets an answer, so I’ll be responding to last week’s questions today. what’s it going to take to get Guddy out? do you think this is…
The Vancouver Canucks recently announced that Henrik and Daniel Sedin will have their jerseys retired during the 2019/20 season—a ceremony that will no doubt be the centerpiece of the celebration of the team’s 50th year. One gets the feeling, however, that the anniversary season will contain a number of smaller-scale festivities, and the rather empty…
Do you think Hutton's trade value has improved significantly after a few good games? — Daniel Schwarz (@dan_qotsa) October 28, 2018 I don’t know if it’s improved much over such a short time span but I’d imagine it will significantly if he keeps it up. Playing over 20 minutes a night with Erik Gudbranson as…
Just when you thought that the Canucks might be down with injuries, the injury bug showed up again. This time taking Anders Nilsson for a few weeks with a fractured finger: Nilsson joins Tanev, Edler, Baertschi and Beagle on the sidelines as the #Canucks suffer another injury. https://t.co/CCYvQeIOKw — Vancouver Canucks (@Canucks) October 28, 2018…
