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…
The losing ends today, today the losing ends I admit I drank the Kool-Aid. I believed the ridiculous notion that the Canucks could fluke out and make the playoffs. I was wrong and I now see the error of my ways. It’s a new day and the rumours may be true that Kole Lind, superstar…
Maybe the Canucks won’t make the playoffs now? The two losses against the Ottawa Senators have been a real buzzkill and the chance of the Vancouver Canucks making the playoffs is now at a staggering 2.5%. This is not good. Vancouver has done pretty well considering they haven’t had Elias Pettersson for a while now…
Canucks embarking on uncharted territory Tonight, the Canucks play their first game of the Eastern road trip against the Senators. They’ll do so with a similar lineup from Saturday’s game unless Kole Lind is activated (seems like a great idea, I dunno). They still somehow have a shot at the playoffs, a really slim one,…
THE SENATORS ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE Just kidding. The Canucks get another chance to beat up on a team that doesn’t deserve to be in the same building as Vancouver. Despite the puck luck Vancouver experienced and the atrocious officiating, the Canucks weren’t out of that game. Matt Murray proved to be a…
The Real Journey Begins Tonight, the Canucks embark on a treacherous four-game set against the Ottawa Senators: a team that most of Canada deems to not exist. They do exist, much like zombies, unicorns, and Roberto Luongo’s recapture penalty exist. Vancouver has won five-straight against the Senators which sounds great but if I told you…
Two Days of Extra Rest Turns You Into The Best It would have been so easy to play 60 minutes and go through the motions against the Maple Leafs on Sunday but the Canucks had no aspirations of just “playing it out”. Sunday’s game wasn’t just a victory, it wasn’t just two points: it was…
If it’s a game you want, then it’s a game you shall get The Canucks are back today after a very long, brutal bout with COVID-19. Despite what many Canucks fans feel, this game will be played with as many “healthy” bodies as possible. There are still a handful of players on the COVID list…
The Vancouver Canucks became one of the hardest-hit professional sports teams from the COVID-19 virus just a little over two weeks ago. All said, 21 players including taxi squad members and four members of the coaching staff contracted the virus. They are now on the other side of it, as far as we know, and…
