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 [...]

After writing a recent blog about not firing Canucks coach Alain Vigneault, it appears that he may have to be sacrificed for GM Mike Gillis’ ineptitude at bringing in the missing pieces needed to build a Stanley Cup team. Lets face it, the core of this team, which includes the Sedins, Ryan Kesler, Alex Burrows, [...]

I got to thinking the other day about the similarities of this current Canucks team to the 2006/07 version.

It seemed like the Anaheim Ducks intention from the drop of the puck last night against the Vancouver Canucks, was to run them out of the rink. It didn’t quite matter how they accomplished that or how many penalties it took. That might have worked if the Canucks power play hadn’t produced, but by the end [...]
