THE INTRO The anticipation for the return of Elias Pettersson is almost unbearable but here we are yet again. Tonight the Canucks welcome the Sabres to Vancouver and it’s the first visit for elite rookie Rasmus Dahlin. The Sabres beat the Flames in impressive fashion a few nights ago while the Canucks are trying to…
THE INTRO It’s goal season again at Rogers Arena. The Canucks peppered the Panthers net on Sunday for five goals (sure a few were of the empty net variety) and it’s time to show the visiting Edmonton Oilers that it wasn’t a mirage. Zack Kassian is coming off an epic two-goal performance, same can be…
THE INTRO Remember last game? Pepperidge Farm remembers. I sure don’t. The Sportsnet debacle kept many of our eyes away from what sounded like a very unexciting match. Tonight, the Canucks welcome the Panthers and an old friend, Roberto Luongo, to Rogers Arena. Both teams are wedged in the bottom-five of their respective conferences and…
THE INTRO After an extended break, the Canucks are back in action tonight against the visiting Coyotes who are coming off of a very impressive 5-0 win over the Rangers earlier this week. The Canucks haven’t scored in over a week when they toppled the Senators in OT courtesy of Elias Pettersson. This game could…
THE INTRO It’s Saturday night. East coast meets West coast in a battle to end all battles (until March at least) for Canadian hockey supremacy. The Vancouver Canucks raid Toronto to take on the infamous Leafs led by Auston Matthews and John Tavares. Vancouver has been shutout in two of their last three games but…
Lost in all the hoopla of the Elias Pettersson rock show is the actual Vancouver Canucks roster. It isn’t littered with future Hall of Famers, or even more than a few All-Stars but it is on pace to have the most 20-goal scorers for the first time since 2010 when they had six above the…
THE INTRO The Canucks are back again today after a win last night in Ottawa. Vancouver is in Montreal today to take on the hometown Canadiens so there should be a fair amount of Canucks fans in attendance. The last time these two teams met was in November and the Canadiens spoiled a perfectly good…
THE INTRO Happy New Year, Canucks fans! New year, new you… or some other crap like that. The Canucks were awful to end the calendar year against the Devils and they might as well have lost 8-0 to shake things up. Tonight, they take on the Ottawa Senators who are (checks standings) tied for the…
THE INTRO Good morning, Canucks fans. Hopefully, you went to the nearest McDonalds to get a yummy sausage and egg McMuffin or maybe you’re having eggs benedict because who doesn’t love eggs benedict? Anyway, this one is an early start on New Year’s Eve. Thankfully, it won’t be another butt-kicking at the hands of the…
THE INTRO Tonight the Canucks strut into Calgary to face an equally hot Flames team (no pun intended). Vancouver has been matched up well against most of the Canadian teams and tonight’s game could end up being an old-time matchup between the two storied rivals. Super rookie Elias Pettersson will try and add to his…
THE INTRO After a much-needed break, the Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers hook up to do battle tonight for a very early Wild Card playoff position. The Canucks lost a heart-breaker 1-0 against the Jets right before the break and if you didn’t get enough after last game, tonight’s matchup will fill that void. It’s…
THE INTRO It’s the final game before the Christmas break as the Canucks welcome the Jets to Rogers Arena. For whatever reason, the Canucks have surprised their fans, and the NHL, by playing exciting competitive hockey beyond their regular skill level. The veterans that have been with the team for a number of years have had…
