The Vancouver Canucks have a bevy of wingers in their organization and that creates an opportunity to create some bizarre line combinations. I wanted to get some unconventional ideas, so I went to the place with the most unconventional fans, Canucks Twitter. I was hoping the replies would include some of the players that are…
Sedin week is upon us and the Vancouver Canucks were hoping to get it started on the right foot after a tough showing against the Flames on Saturday. Monday was “Legends Night” at Rogers Arena, the first instalment of Sedin Week. All the Sedin memories have made their return to our social media feed this…
The Canucks are returning home for “Sedin Week” with a chance to make history on Henrik and Daniel’s big night. The Canucks are currently on a nine-game winning streak on home ice. That is the second-longest single-season winning streak at home in franchise history. The record for home victories in a row is 11, achieved…
Vasili Podkolzin had no points in his first 16 games this season and many Canucks fans were concerned that his development was going to take a year off. It’s funny how much things can change in just a few short weeks. Podkolzin got his first KHL point in a game against CSKA. Podkolzin drove the…
You can tell a team is getting good again when fans start arguing about who should be on the fourth line, and for the first time in years, that’s what Canucks fans have been doing this week. The team has had their fair share of problems over the past few seasons. Finishing near the bottom…
Do you remember that feeling? The one that gives you goosebumps every time you see Alex Burrows jump up and snag that puck out of the air. The feeling you get when you hear Jim Robson say “He will play. You know he’ll play. He’ll play on crutches!” I got goosebumps just reading it. Those…

One of the biggest questions surrounding the Canucks heading into the season was if they were going to be able to have three scoring lines. This season, we have seen an emergence of a third line that can chip in offensively in a way that Canucks fans have not seen over the past few years….
The idea of these “Snap Shots” articles is to explore some smaller ideas or stats that I find. In the process of looking through stats, one number sticks out to such an absurd degree that it merits an article all on it’s own. This is one of those times. The Canucks have won every game…
The Vancouver Canucks made significant moves this offseason to improve their defence corps. Adding Tyler Myers was the biggest offseason transaction, but Oscar Fantenberg and Jordie Benn have also been useful additions this season. Obviously, the biggest change to the Canucks’ blue line wasn’t acquired via trade or free agency, but through the draft. Quinn…
When I was a young boy, my father took me into Vancity to see a Canucks game. He said, “Son, when you grow up will you write the postgame about the penalty box parade?” Today was that day. Luckily there was a great off ice story to cover first. The Canucks were coming off a…
The World Junior Championship will soon be coming to a close, and the four Canucks prospects that are participating in the tournament have been showcasing their talent in this annual overload of incredible hockey.
