PHD Line Shines for Canucks
The P is for Pavol, the H for Henrik, and the D for Daniel in what is turning out to be one of the best lines in the NHL. After almost a month out of the line up due to injury, Pavol Demitri was inserted on a line with the Sedin twins when [...]
Maybe The Canucks Are Contenders
Every time I get ready to write them off, the Vancouver Canucks bounce back with a game that makes me think they may be playoff contenders after all. Last night against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Canuck Janik Hansen took a penalty at the 3:29 mark of the first period and three seconds later Willie [...]
Luongo Can’t Do It Alone
After two periods of Wednesday’s game it looked like Roberto Luongo might record his 4th straight shutout and extend his new Canuck record for scoreless minutes, but a power play goal by Marek Svatos early in the 3rd period tied the game at 1-1 and Colorado went on to win 2-1 in a shootout. [...]
Luongo Records 3rd Straight Shutout
If I was superstitious I wouldn’t be writing today as the Canucks and Roberto Luongo have won three straight games and have not allowed a goal since my last blog after the 3-2 loss to the Red Wings last Saturday. The 2-0 win over the Minnesota Wild last night was Luongo’s 5th shutout this [...]
Red Wings Special Teams Power Past Canucks
At even strength the Vancouver Canucks outplayed and outscored the Detroit Red Wings 2-0 on a rainy Sunday night in Vancouver. Unfortunately for the Canucks, almost half the game was played with one team or the other having a man advantage. The Detroit power play unit was successful with 3 goals on 5 [...]
Canucks Complete California Sweep
Its Halloween night and we’ve got kids knocking on the door as the Canuck game gets started. The Canucks came into the game having kept the opposition from scoring on 16 straight power play chances but before the game is eight minutes old the Ducks have scored twice with the man advantage. Since [...]
Captain Roberto Shines in LA
The Canucks left Vancouver just as the rain began to fall, but the sunshine they found in southern California agreed with them as they started their mini road trip with a 4-0 win over a talented young LA Kings’ team that is not yet ready to move up in the Western Conference standings. This [...]
Timmy Terrific Tames Canucks
Older hockey fans will remember when 1 to 0 victories were not as rare as they are today, but Boston Bruin fans would have to be even older than the Old Timer to remember when their team scored back-to-back 1 to 0 victories. Tim Thomas did it Monday night in Edmonton and again [...]
Canuck Power Play Clicks
Home ice advantage and winning 38 of 65 face offs had a lot to do with the Canuck 6 to 3 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night, but scoring 4 goals on 6 power play opportunities was the big difference in the game. Mason Raymond, the 23 year old second year [...]
Canucks Need Sundin
The Vancouver Canucks need a leader and that is what Mike Gillis had in mind when he made his two year twenty million dollar offer to Mats Sundin earlier this year. The current rumor is that Sundin is working his way into shape somewhere in California and will be returning to the NHL [...]
