THE INTRO The Canucks get right back at it after getting SMOKED by the Dallas Stars two nights ago. Nashville has lost three straight and are playing the same kind of hockey the Canucks are so maybe this will be an evenly matched game? Bo Horvat needs to be on the ice a whole lot…
THE INTRO It’s Benn Bowl II. Jordie Benn travels back to Dallas to take on his brother Jamie. They were once teammates but tonight that doesn’t matter. The Canucks have found a way to gut out extra points and players like Adam Gaudette are making it possible. The goaltending will need to be better tonight…
There are going to be two kinds of people at the beginning of this piece: the ones that are wondering “what on God’s green Earth is this guy talking about?” and the ones that are thinking “how does coffee play a role in the Canucks power-play success?” If I were you, I’d be taking a…
THE SKINNY The Vancouver Canucks brought their dangerously awesome Skate jerseys back for the first time in a few seasons and they were as exciting as the game itself. Adam Gaudette shined with two goals, Quinn Hughes notched two assists, and Brock Boeser scored but it was the Avalanche that had the final say. Cale…
THE FLYING INTRO You’ve waited all season, OK it’s only been 20 games, but it’s time for the Canucks to shine on Hockey Night in Canada in the best jersey they own: the flying skate. Today’s GDT is a special “skate” edition of THE GAME DAY and will focus on all things skate. Maybe we’ll…
THE INTRO Winning is a great feeling and the Canucks will try and replicate their most recent win against the Nashville Predators with their latest opponent the Dallas Stars this evening. Vancouver ended the season series with Dallas last year with identical 3-2 shootout wins but unfortunately dropped the series opener 2-1 in Vancouver. This…
THE INTRO The Vancouver Canucks will try for a fifth consecutive game to get back in the win column when the Nashville Predators and former blue line stars Dan Hamhuis and Yannick Weber return. Whether it’s flat out bad luck, lack of scoring, or not putting out a power-play squad that isn’t beyond predictable, the…
THE INTRO Losing isn’t fun but if you’ve watched the Canucks since forever, you’re well aware of this already. Today, the Canucks will take on the New Jersey Devils in yet another matinee game against the team that beat them one month ago. It’s the second-ever meeting between brothers Jack and Quinn Hughes in the…
THE INTRO Happy Friday! The Canucks get right back at it tonight as they travel to the Shangrila that is Winnipeg to take on the Jets. Tyler Myers will take on his old team for the first time and after a bad showing against the Blackhawks one night ago, there may be some new faces…
THE INTRO Hello, darkness my old friend. If it ain’t the Chicago Blackhawks. Tonight, old friendships are renewed as the Canucks roll into the Windy City to take on the one team that has caused them fits throughout the last decade. Chicago has seen its dynasty run its course and now they’re looking to climb…
THE SKINNY The Vancouver Canucks had an opportunity to beat the defending Stanley Cup champs for the second time this season but it wasn’t going to be as effortless as scoring in the 1970s. Goals have been easy to come by lately for the boys in blue but tonight wasn’t meant to be. St. Louis’…
THE INTRO The Canucks are back home and couldn’t be happier to face the St. Louis Blues for the second time in less than a month. Vancouver mounted an impressive comeback in October, not quite to the level George Costanza countered against Reilly in 1997, but close. Coincidentally, Ryan O’Reilly’s Blues blew (no pun intended,…
