The Warmup The Vancouver Canucks hit the Rogers Arena ice for the first time in the 2019/20 season on Tuesday evening—and they did so against the Edmonton Oilers, or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof. The Vancouver lineup featured the preseason debut of both Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes—as well as Tyler Myers, Tyler Graovac,…

One night ago, the Canucks split their games one apiece in Victoria and Calgary. There were some positives, some negatives, and plenty of Chris Tanev on display. Tonight, Rogers Arena welcomes back its prime tenant, the Canucks, as they host the Edmonton Oilers in yet another preseason tilt. Will we see an Elias Pettersson v….
The Vancouver Canucks opened up their 2019-20 preseason in two split-squad games against the Calgary Flames, one in each province. It’s the unofficial opening to what should be an exciting regular season.

Canucks hockey is back! Your Vancouver Canucks take on the Calgary Flames twice tonight which seems like a tall task but they’ll send a split-squad to Calgary and keep the rest in Victoria. Training Camp is officially over and the local island folks will get treated to an official preseason game in their own barn.
After penning an emotional and earnest tribute to Jason Botchford (seriously, read it here if you haven’t already), our own Jackson McDonald is off on a well-deserved vacation—and so yours truly has the honour of handling the last Monday Mailbag of the offseason. do you see any path for macewen to make the team out…

Juolevi debuted in the #2 spot on our annual rankings back in 2016, but his inability to…
The Vancouver Canucks did some nice work this offseason in acquiring some depth for the NHL roster. Today, I will take a look at three newcomers who have two-way deals with the big club but could find themselves in Utica to start the season. As it happens, one of these forwards traditionally plays the left…
Jett Woo was probably destined to be a fan favourite the moment the Canucks drafted him at 37th overall in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. Named after actor Jet Li—and possessing the sort of onomatopoeic family name that will play well in Vancouver—Woo represented a unique addition to the prospect cupboard. What he’s done since…
