The Canucks caught their fans by surprise, announcing their intention to play a pre-season game at the home of the WHL’s Kelowna Rockets, Prospera Place. The game will take place on September 29th, and their opponent will be the Arizona Coyotes. While this may not be viewed as the most exciting matchup, there are a handful…
Tonight is the night. Thursday took a lot out of everyone but we’re going to do this one… more… time. The Canucks travel to Edmonton to close out their season against the rival Oilers. Fitting that this game is the Sedins’ final game: they share the record with Jarome Iginla for most points (84) versus…
For the final time this season the Canucks will take on the expansion Golden Knights. There will be a bit more emotion in the air due to “the announcement” yesterday but there is still a game to be played. Lots of roster tidbits to get through and somehow the Canucks have already equaled their nice…
There is almost no bigger story to lead this game today than the potential debut of Thatcher Demko for the Canucks. The Blue Jackets are in town but the opponent isn’t important. Something’s up with the goalies in Vancouver (you’re just telling us now?) and when emergency recalls make news then there definitely is a…
Not to be overshadowed, but for one night the “tank” may be on the backburner, or at least until the Canucks give up the first goal. Tonight, NCAA phenom and newly signed Canuck, Adam Gaudette, makes his NHL debut and the memories of Brock Boeser’s debut have created an unrealistic expectation of this guy. The…
There’s a party about to break out at Rogers Arena this evening. Everyone’s* favourite team, the Anaheim Ducks, have come to Vancouver and have a date with your Vancouver Canucks. It wasn’t even close the last time these two teams faced each other and rightfully so — Anders Nilsson was in net. What the Canucks…
Canucks fans will hope for a repeat of the last time the Stars hosted Vancouver when the boys in blue exploded for a 6-0 win in Dallas. Tonight has the opportunity to be another one of those random games but the Canucks haven’t even been living up to any kind of billing so it could…
The Canucks and Blues all of a sudden have a lot in common. Both teams have young up and coming stars; both teams are happy Barrett Jackman isn’t on their team today; both teams are on incredibly hot winning streaks. St. Louis has won three straight and the Canucks haven’t lost since Tuesday. This matchup…
The Vancouver Canucks hopped on a flight to the windy city for a battle with the Blackhawks. Odds are there won’t be any fireworks in this one — nowhere near the ones by Lake Michigan –, but it could be said this game is something of a homecoming for the Canucks. Some of the best…
The Vancouver Canucks embark on their final extended road trip of the season with the Vegas Golden Knights being their first opponent of four in six nights. Vegas won their last contest convincingly against the ever-awful Calgary Flames while the Canucks dropped a close one to the Sharks. Tonight’s game could have a few fireworks…
The goal drought has caught on and the Canucks should be the most interesting story in the league going into tonight as the San Jose Sharks come to town on the second half of their own back to back. As heard on TSN 1040 yesterday, if the drought continues into the second period at about…
The road trip is finally going to be over, and the misery may end! The Vancouver Canucks make their final stop in California to take on the Anaheim Ducks. Losing is a common theme for both teams lately as the Ducks are riding an impressive three-game losing streak while the Canucks have done them one…
