Playing The Blame Game in Vancouver
The Canucks have lost their last four games - all at home. Mats Sundin has arrived and has been sitting in the penalty box for three of the opposition game winning goals in the five games he’s played. Roberto Luongo returned from injury and allowed four goals in a 4-1 loss to the [...]
Dear Shark’s Fan – aka the Young Whippersnapper
Dear Young Whippersnapper:
Your true wit was never better expressed than in your blog this morning “A Letter To An Editor”. I can just imagine the gleam in your eye as you traveled home after last night’s game composing this epistle in your head while all the while laughing and joking with your friends at [...]
A Letter To An Editor
Dear Mr. Old Timer,
I really appreciate your dedication to writing for our blog. Because of your loyalty to your team I’ve actually managed to follow, with some interest, the progress of the Vancouver Canucks. I remember back when the season first started you had reserved enthusiasm around your expectations for this team. Specifically, [...]
Canucks On Target With One More Road Game To Go
Back on November 16th, when the Canucks were about to embark on the longest stretch of road games that they will encounter this season, I wrote that:

Canucks Beat Wings Without Luongo
The Detroit Red Wings came into Vancouver last night with the best road record in the NHL and on a five-game winning streak. They can also claim the leagues most potent power play and they invariably win when they score first. The Canucks have also been hot of late but as they prepared [...]
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. [...]
