The Canucks and the Curse of Mediocrity
I’ve spent all of my life as a fan of the Detroit Tigers, so I’ve supported mediocre teams for more years than I like to remember. Sure the Tigers went to the World Series in 2006, but before that you have to go back to the 1980’s to find Tiger teams that performed at [...]
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, [...]
So Long Trevor … Hello Mats
What a week for the Vancouver Canucks and their fans. On Wednesday night, December 16th, the team culminated 16 consecutive days of honouring Trevor Linden by retiring the number 16 that he had worn on his back for 14 seasons. The same day the Vancouver Sun published a 32 page magazine insert [...]
I’m So Done With Sundin
Mats Sundin signs with the Vancouver Canucks – can we stop talking about him now. I am so sick of hearing about Sundin and I think I’m not alone. Every day during the preseason there was endless conversation about “Is Mats going to play and where?” After the season started the [...]
A Holiday Gift To Sharks Fans
Just in time for the holidays Sharks fans will be treated to some very good opponents, the Detroit Red Wings (12/18), the New York Rangers (12/10) and the Vancouver Canucks (12/23). This stretch looks like the best test of the Sharks since the Sharks faced the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Red Wings at the [...]
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:
“The formula for making the playoffs can be relatively simple. Win two thirds of your games at home and half of your road games and you end up [...]
Sharks Start Another Win Streak
Apparently the argument has been settled, it’s not rabbit season - it’s duck season. The San Jose Sharks started their latest win streak by beating the Anaheim Ducks 2-0 in a pretty mild effort by Sharks standards. I don’t know but it seems like the Sharks don’t look quite as sharp when [...]
Five Questions Answered Regarding The Vancouver Canucks
We asked theoldtimer for his opinion on the Vancouver Canucks and the NHL in general.
Q: Sharks fans have the luxury of knowing early in this season that their backup goalie, Brian Boucher is a capable goalie should Evgeni Nabokov go down again. How are Canucks fans feeling about losing Roberto Luongo?
A: Curtis Sanford [...]
