Vancouver Canucks – The Reality of a Team that Couldn’t

After trying to build the Canucks after the Wings, which got old really quick when the bigger and more physical teams started winning Stanley Cup’s (Kings, Bruins, Blackhawks), the Canucks are no further ahead then when they started. While the rest of league caught on, Canucks GM Mike Gillis never adjusted to that play-off makeup [...]

Has the Speed of the Game Passed by the Canucks Sedins?

Even with all the talent and skill Henrik and Daniel Sedin possess, the one flaw has always been their lack of speed.

Controversy, what controversy? Really! I’m not [...]

Roberto Luongo’s Best Outing Deserved a Better Outcome

Vancouver Canucks Roberto Luongo deserved a better outcome than the 3-2 shoot-out loss to the Los Angeles Kings. If not for him the game would have been over in the second period when the Canucks were out-shot 12-7. Most of those were scoring chances from about 10-15 feet out and I mean of the high quality [...]
