Much has been made about Vancouver Canucks prospect Nikita Tryamkin’s ability — or lack thereof — to come over and be an effective defenceman at the NHL level; but the big friendly giant has had a good start over in Russia after not being able to sign with Vancouver. Tryamkin scored an empty net goal…
The good: After five long years, the Vancouver Canucks are back in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and won their first game against the St. Louis Blues by a score of 5-2. The bad: They are playing the best regular-season team in the Western Conference — who also happen to be defending Stanley Cup Champions —…
The St. Louis Blues score at a higher rate on the powerplay than the Vancouver Canucks do and that’s a scary thought. The Canucks have one of the deadliest powerplays in the NHL. They scored 56 goals in 69 games this season, and the Blues were just behind them with 50 goals in 71 games….
The Vancouver Canucks played great against the St. Louis Blues this season, but Quinn Hughes did not. During the season, the Canucks won two games and lost one in overtime against the Blues. Quinn Hughes on the other hand, wasn’t his regular amazing self against St. Louis this season. He finished the season with a…
The Vancouver Canucks reassembled Megazord The Lotto Line against the Minnesota Wild and saw great success and they will live and die through the same formula against the St. Louis Blues.

The Vancouver Canucks are nearing the end of their year while one prospect is just beginning his. Vasili Podkolzin is the Canucks’ top prospect.

It was a big night for the Vancouver Canucks as they were in their first series-clinching game since 2011. The Canucks played for just over 60 minutes as an unlikely goal scorer punched their ticket into the Stanley Cup Playoffs. A back and forth game resulted in the Canucks walking away with a 5-4 win…
Game three has come and gone and the Vancouver Canucks bested the Minnesota Wild by a score of 3-0 to pick up back to back wins to take control of the best of five series. There have been a lot of roster changes to the Canucks‘ lineup since game one. Micheal Ferland left the bubble…
The Vancouver Canucks fell right into the Minnesota Wild’s trap in game one. On Tuesday night they would get a chance to even up the series before a matinee game on Thursday. Many were questioning Travis Green’s lineup as the big two topics of conversation were: Would we see The Lotto Line reassembled and would…
The Vancouver Canucks need to make a change if they want to win their play-in series against the Minnesota Wild. In a best of five series, the first game is so important. The Canucks were unable to score a goal in their debut and when that happens and your team has so much winger depth,…
Game one did not go the way that Canucks fans wanted. The Vancouver Canucks were shutout in game one against the Minnesota Wild. They were unable to have a consistent attack in the offensive zone. The Wild’s collapsing defence was ready for Vancouver’s outside attack and they were happy to let the Canucks fire from…
It was a long and winding path to get to this point. But here we are–watching meaningful Canucks games in August. Tonight was the night Canucks fans have been waiting for.
