This is it, don’t get scared now Kevin McCallister said it best and the Canucks will finish off their season in unspectacular fashion. There will be no fanfare, no fireworks or hurrahs. There will be no playoff berths, no milestones to exclaim, and unless a miracle occurs, no Alex Edler goals anywhere in sight. This…
Please insert coin for moral victory There isn’t much to play for at this point in the season. Both Calgary and Vancouver are playing out the season like a contractually obligated boy band that has two more albums to produce when it’s clear the one-hit-wonder barely stood the test of time. Most of us had…
The best of three begins tonight There really needs to be a trophy for the final three games of the season between the Canucks and the Flames. Call it the “Forgotten One’s Bowl”. There isn’t much to look forward to tonight unless you plan on watching two other teams play in the first round of…
Welcome to the playoffs Today, the Canucks have the absolute pleasure of playing the Oilers in a mean-nothing game prior to the Stanley Cup Playoffs beginning later in the day. The NHL felt that today’s game and the subsequent ones to follow were very necessary and would not diminish the overall product they hope to…
When the games stop meaning anything, that’s when they mean the most Tonight is all about Alex Edler. He hasn’t scored goal number 100 and it would be fitting to get it against the Flames, in Calgary, in an absolutely mean nothing game. The Canucks have zero to play for aside from a better possible…
Winning is still losing around these parts Only as a Canucks fan do we know that even when the team is winning, it’s still finding ways to lose. After an impressive win last night against the Jets, the Canucks were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. It was inevitable but there was still that outside chance…
McDavid is gone, we can come out from our hiding places The Canucks begin a double-dip against the Winnipeg Jets this evening and they need the win like you need to save 15% or more on car insurance by switching to GEICO. Vancouver is still in the playoff hunt unless the Canadiens beat the Oilers…
Does anyone want to talk about playoffs again? The Canucks beat the Oilers handily on Thursday and just like that, it’s time to talk about the postseason. If the Canucks run the table to finish the season and the Montreal Canadiens lose at least two of their final three games then the Canucks will dance…
Are they gone, is the pain over? The Canucks have given us everything, they’ve maxed out the mileage on a season that went awry way too long ago. Tonight, they’ll take on the Oilers, again, and get the elusive win they’ve searched for over a week and a half to find. Connor McDavid has proven…
Trap game alert, trap game alert! The Oilers made easy work of the Canucks yesterday and earned the heralded “X” beside their name to indicate they are a playoff team. Remember the playoffs, folks? Remember when the Canucks would routinely win their division, win the first round, and THEN it got tough? It sure has…
Just hold on, we’re going home The great Drake said it best, and the Canucks are at home for a pair of games against the Oilers before going to Edmonton to face them a few more times. This should be a ton of fun. Who wouldn’t be excited for Connor McDavid and his journey to…
Coding for beginners So, let me get this straight: Alex Edler was on a 3:00 min marathon shift and ended up kneeing Zack Hyman resulting in Wayne Simmonds teeing up Edler for a fight over a week later? Edler served a two-game suspension but was still required to fight because of the code. So is…
