Around this time, NHL award ballots are completed and submitted ahead of the annual ceremony in June. The Vancouver Canucks have had their share of award winners over their 50-year history. Elias Pettersson is the most recent award winner and won the Calder Trophy for his stellar rookie campaign in 2018-19 that will be remembered […]

It is entirely possible that we’ve already seen the final games of the 2019-20 NHL season, as the COVID-19 suspension looms into Week 3. The longer the halt, the less likely it is that the season will resume. With that in consideration, this season was a special season for the Vancouver Canucks as they celebrated […]

It has been a long nine days since the Vancouver Canucks last played a hockey game. It feels more like months instead of days since immersing our lives in the storylines and drama that our beloved sports team brings to our daily lives. However, with the news of a player from the Ottawa Senators showing […]

The Vancouver Canucks finally received some good news on Monday as Brock Boeser announced that he was returning to the lineup for the first time since being injured exactly one month prior. I feel good. I’m ready to go and help this team out in any way I can. Brock Boeser (from ‘UPDATED: Canucks Game […]

It’s been a tale of two seasons for Vancouver Canucks prospect Vasily Podkolzin. At one point, it seemed as if the 18-year-old would never record a point while playing for SKA Saint Petersburg of the KHL. Thankfully, for both SKA and Canucks fans, those fortunes have changed as of late. After playing the first 17 […]

Goaltender Jacob Markstrom has undoubtedly been the Vancouver Canucks’ most valuable player in the 43 games he’s appeared in. Unfortunately, an inopportune injury has put the remainder of his regular season in jeopardy. He is set to be re-evaluated in two weeks. If the worst-case scenario prevails (which is very plausible), he might not see […]

Fresh off arguably the best goaltending performance of this year, it has become impossible to ignore the season that Jacob Markstrom is having. Although, many are still are. The Vancouver Canucks netminder’s 49-save shutout performance on Feb. 12 against the Chicago Blackhawks shattered several records, including the most saves by a Canucks goaltender and the […]

Tanner Pearson has had himself quite the last two months playing for the Vancouver Canucks. He’s arguably been one of Vancouver’s best forwards as I’ve discussed previously. Not to mention that he’s better than anybody else in the entire NHL in one statistic – empty-net goals. So, what’s the problem with that? Currently, there is […]

The Vancouver Canucks headed into the All-Star break first in the Pacific Division. Vancouver has been nearly unbeatable during the last month with their only losses coming to the Winnipeg Jets and the two Florida-based teams. Canucks players should try and stay clear of vacationing in Florida and Winnipeg (yes, I know that will be […]

A little under a year ago, the Vancouver Canucks and the Pittsburgh Penguins reached an agreement to swap Erik Gudbranson for Tanner Pearson in a one-for-one trade. Gudbranson’s Journey Canucks fans rejoiced as Gudbranson had a rough time during his three years in Vancouver, providing little value other than looking handsome – mostly while sitting […]

Apparently, lightning strikes more than once. On Tuesday, Jan. 7, the Tampa Bay Lightning struck nine times in their 9-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks, including six goals in the second period. Poor Jacob Markstrom could not find shelter quick enough during this surge as his team left him out to dry. Surprisingly, Loui Eriksson […]

Who doesn’t like a good trip to the farm? There is plenty of cows, pigs, goats and other fun animals. Through 32 games, Vancouver Canucks’ American Hockey League affiliate or “farm” team, the Utica Comets, continues to impress with its league-leading goal-scoring efforts. Having a competitive AHL farm team is essential to developing younger assets […]
