The Canucks had their undefeated streak ended in their last game, falling victim to a messy, stupid matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning and the entirely-inhuman Andrei Vasilevskiy. In an absolutely blessing of a gift from the gods, though, the team was delivered a complete shitshow of an opponent for their follow-up game on Thursday…
Don’t look now but the World Juniors are here, well basically here, but you get the idea! It’s a fantastic time of the year that sees the best U20 players battling each in high-intensity games and it’s happening right here in Vancouver. If you can, make sure to check out one of the preliminary games…
Generally, I try to avoid building content off of other people’s work but Elliotte Friedman’s 31 thoughts is always a goldmine of information. So, it can be hard to not have the mind start running after reading it every week. For this week’s edition, there was a really interesting point about the Canucks: That exact…
THE INTRO Don’t expect fireworks two games in a row (or anything more than a minor penalty for an illegal hit) this evening as the St. Louis Blues come to Vancouver to redeem themselves after getting waxed by the Canucks just over a week ago. Brock Boeser and Elias Pettersson exploded for a week’s worth…
How can Travis green make the Canucks PP more effective?

The Canucks have been a mercurial team in 2018/19, seeming to vacillate between scorching hot streaks and ice cold losing skids, and…
The Canucks have interest in Washington Capitals forward Andre Burakovsky, according to a report by HNIC’s Chris Johnston. Burakovsky has averaged just under a half a point per game playing mostly in a third-line role for the Capitals over his career. As a once-highly-touted prospect who’s struggled at times to reach his full potential, he…
Under different circumstances, the story tonight could have been how the Canucks held their own against one of the best teams in the league, outshooting them at five-on-five and going a perfect four-for-four on the PK after struggling mightily in that department for much of the season. Instead, Danick Martel tried to decapitate Troy Stecher…

THE INTRO Godzilla meets Mothra, T-Rex meets Indominus, the Vancouver Canucks meet the Tampa Bay Lightning. Two teams on a collision course to greatness. Vancouver has brought everything to the table lately and their record is starting to mirror that. Tampa lost their last game in OT to the Jets but their current run has…
