Seriously, I’d like to know. I have asked this question for the better part of a calendar year now but I’d like to know “Why should Jacob Markstrom be the Vancouver Canucks’ next franchise goaltender?” Is it because he’s played well the last two seasons and has found a “rhythm”? Maybe it’s because the team…
THE INTRO There is no better feeling than a Game 7. It’s a one-game, winner takes all matchup. Forget what you know about the other six, this is the spotlight. The mountain seemed too high to climb but the Canucks continued to play a very solid team game and backed up their stellar goaltending with…
THE INTRO From stick gate to Demko’s arrival, Tyler Toffoli and Tyler Myers, Instagram Johnny and the sword that binds us; this series has been the gift that keeps on giving. Tonight, it’s Game 6 between the Canucks and the Golden Knights, and once again it’s for most of the marbles. Vegas has put some…
THE INTRO Getting excited about tonight’s game might be tough. On the one hand, it’s do or die and the Canucks will put it all out there (hopefully) and could stretch the series at least another game. On the other hand, most of this game won’t be enjoyable knowing every Vegas goal could be the…
THE INTRO The Canucks weren’t able to contain a very effective Golden Knights team in Game 3 and they’ll look to even things up tonight in the rubber match of the weekend. Getting shutout twice in three games isn’t a good look for a team that wants to prove the doubters wrong. Robin Lehner was…
THE INTRO Let’s do this again, shall we?
THE INTRO Let’s do this again, shall we? Two days after the original Game 3, the Canucks and Golden Knights return for what should be a highly watched matchup. Can you believe this series just restarted? Both the Vancouver Canucks and Vegas Golden Knights have owned the moment but tonight’s prize is up for grabs:…
THE INTRO Is it possible to already hate how good the Vegas Golden Knights are? They have everything, even a goalie controversy! Their speed and skill seem like there is no match coming from the Canucks but OH RIGHT, they play seven games. Did you give up after the Canucks lost games 3/4 against the…
THE INTRO Clinch or clench? The Canucks go into tonight’s game up three games to two and have a chance to move on to the second round. They haven’t seen the semi-finals since 2011 so there’s a bit riding on this one. Don’t expect the St. Louis Blues to go easily, in fact, they’ll want…
THE INTRO Alright, I think we’ve all had about enough with the St. Louis Blues. This series was going just fine before they were agitated to the point of retaliation via goal scoring. It’s not a good look for anyone.
THE INTRO It’s a series now. St. Louis outlasted the Canucks and found their opening to get back in this one. Brayden Schenn was the OT hero last night but it will be the Canucks who need to play hero if they want to put a stranglehold on the series. Penalties were far and few…
THE INTRO The series travels back to “Vancouver” for Games 3 and 4. Tonight, the Canucks get last change and in a series where it hasn’t mattered at all for Vancouver, one more bonus doesn’t hurt. The Canucks have looked dangerous in the first two games of the series and their special teams have played…
