The Canucks stood pat for the most part on trade deadline day, but they did make one minor deal, swapping minor-league goaltender Zane McIntyre to the New Jersey Devils for G Louis Domingue. Goalie Zane McIntyre going from VAN to NJ for Louis Domingue. — Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) February 24, 2020 The Province’s Patrick Johnston…
Other than intangibles (being team Dad), is Stetcher not just a younger version of Tanev? Why not keep the RFA instead of the UFA? — A. Lau (@ALaudBrother) February 23, 2020 You are preaching to the choir, my friend. I can understand why a person might think Tanev is the better player based on how…
The Canucks made their big acquisition of trade deadline season by trading for Tyler Toffoli on Monday evening, but they still could have a few tricks up their sleeve before the official deadline tomorrow. They still have a few areas of need, particularly on defence, and a have a few players on expiring contracts, so…
The Canucks continued their trend of acquiring brand-name players yesterday afternoon when they announced they had traded for pending UFA Tyler Toffoli of the Los Angeles Kings. The details of the trade took longer to trickle out than the results of the Iowa caucus, and fans were getting more than a little antsy while waiting…
If the Canucks get Markstrom resigned, would you trade Demko with Little Things in order to get the Eriksson contract off the books? Would the Senators or Redwings go for this trade? — Tommy Spence (@tspence81) February 16, 2020 My hope is that it doesn’t come to that, because Demko is a hell of a…
The Canucks were looking to sweep Sedin Week this afternoon in Anaheim after a convincing win against the Predators on Monday and pulling off a rope-a-dope against the Blackhawks after the Sedins’ retirement ceremony on Wednesday. Thing didn’t exactly go according to plan. The team came out flat, caught a couple of unlucky breaks, and…
We’re nearly 3/4 into the season and the Canucks currently occupy the top spot in the Pacific. They’ve had a fairly easy time keeping their rivals at bay over the past few weeks, but the Oilers sit just one point back of them now with the same number of games played. Do you think the…
What are your thoughts on Brogan Rafferty and Juolevi starting their season with the canucks next year? Is tryamkin nhl caliber dman? And how do you see Canucks d pair shaping up for next season? — Johl21 (@johal_21) January 27, 2020 I could definitely see one of the players you listed making the opening night…
The Canucks went into Raleigh this afternoon looking to extend their win streak to six games. The young, upstart Canucks have been on an impressive run since the latter half of December, having won 14 of their last 17 before today’s contest against the Canes. Vancouver started off the game looking very much like a…
Jacob Markstrom has been one of the great comeback stories in NHL history. Despite losing his father to cancer this November, Markstrom is putting up the best and most consistent performance of his career, sitting seventh overall in wins and 14th overall in save percentage among goaltenders with at least 20 starts this season. What…
Are the Blackhawks the Patriots of the NHL? (Referencing the Aaron Hernandez Doc) — Ryan Little (@rLittle67) January 26, 2020 To be honest, I don’t think there’s any team in the NHL whose performance on the ice and scandals off the ice mirror the New England Patriots in any meaningful way. The Patriots have been…
All-Star weekend is now at a close, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to get a sense of where our authors stand on the game. Do you like the All-Star Game? Why or why not? If not, what would you change? Ryan Hank This one is a no brainer. Make it outdoors in Vegas…
