Hello, and welcome back to WDYTT, the only hockey column on the internet to not be placed on waivers this week. You know us, we’re always excited to be here, but we have to admit that we’re just a little more excited than usual right now, and it’s not hard to guess why. By the…
When the Vancouver Canucks open up the all-new, all-different 2021 NHL season, they’ll do so having undergone a bevy of changes across the roster. The top-six is updated, the bottom-six is reconfigured, the crease has been shaken up, and the blueline is nigh unrecognizable. Another aspect of the lineup that has also experienced a serious…
Jim Benning and Co. made some drastic changes to the blueline of the Vancouver Canucks this past offseason. We’ve already spilled plenty of ink on whether or not the changes constitute an overall improvement (they do!) and who’s going to be partnered with whom (who knows?!). But, speaking of ink, there’s at least one more…
Welcome back to WDYTT, the only hockey column on the internet that always shows up to camp in shape. Speaking of which, by the time you read these words, training camp will be well underway, and we’ll be less than a week away from actual, genuine Vancouver Canucks hockey. And with no exhibition games on…
Let’s not beat around the bush. Everyone already knows that Travis Hamonic isn’t really on a professional try out contract, or what we in the biz like to refer to as a “PTO.” Hamonic, like Mike Hoffman before him, is only “trying out” with the Vancouver Canucks until they formally place Micheal Ferland on LTIR…
Since the NHL and NHLPA announced a joint return-to-play agreement that included a 56-game regular season and the advent of taxi squads, there’s been an interesting notion passing through the Vancouver fanbase and mediasphere. There’s an idea that, for the 2021 season, the Canucks’ top prospects — players like Nils Hoglander, Jack Rathbone, Mike DiPietro,…
Hello, and welcome back to the year’s final edition of WDYTT, the only hockey column on the internet to actually have a solid 2020. And with this dumpster inferno of a year almost behind us, it’s definitely time to shift our perspective toward 2021, a year that, at the very least, can’t get much worse….
We’re now less than a week out from the opening of Vancouver Canucks training camp, and tantalizingly close to teams actually taking to the ice for the first regular season games since mid-March. The NHL will officially return to play on January 13, 2021, with a 56-game schedule consisting entirely of inter-divisional play. That means…
Welcome to the penultimate WDYTT of the year. In 2020, we’ve prided ourselves on being the only hockey column on the internet that always delivers, but this week it is you, faithful readers, who we are asking to make the deliveries. The Vancouver Canucks are about to gift the lot of us with actual NHL…
We’ve been playing it coy with these player preview articles thus far, but we can finally stop beating around the bush. The NHL and NHLPA have formally agreed to a 56-game regular season schedule starting January 13, 2021, with training camps set to open on January 3. That means that, as you read these words,…
As you read these words, you may be less than a month away from the return of NHL hockey. Nothing is set in stone as of this writing, but multiple rock-solid sources have suggested that the NHL will resume on January 13, 2021, with a 56-game regular-season schedule and drastically reconfigured divisions, although yesterday’s news,…
Welcome back to WWYDW, the only hockey column on the internet that doesn’t take holidays off. Though we’re sure you’ve noticed, we’ll remind you that the CanucksArmy crew has been hard at work cranking out some player previews for the 2021 season, letting you in on our highest hopes and worst fears as they pertain…
