Coming off a lacklustre overall team effort against the ready, willing, and able Calgary Flames, Vancouver has given up some of the Northwest Division lead-and now sit 7th overall in the NHL.  Their goals for / goals against is incredible if ...

Van Schneider and the top prospects

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008 Posted in Canucks | No Comments »

Hockey's Future released it's Canucks 2008-09 CHL top prospects recently and it is always a good idea to keep a watch on this quality hockey publication's watchdog-type stance on the up-and-comers. http://www.hockeysfuture.com/articles/10715/canucks200809_junior_prospect_update/ The accounts on Cody Hodgson and Prab Rai are glowing ...

out of distress, may come fortune

The Canucks must close out the month of November with a test tomorrow night against the Stanley Cup Champion Red Wings.  It will be a large task, without star netminder Roberto Luongo.  Luongo was sidelined with an apparent groin pull ...

impressive on trip

Friday, November 21st, 2008 Posted in Canucks | No Comments »

One thing has impressed itself on me- the Canucks seem ready to pull up their socks when the least is expected of them.  That is hardly a pessimistic view, just think about how it looks.    Vancouver has surprised many by ...

Demitra effective (and Prab Rai - prospect)

Monday, November 17th, 2008 Posted in Canucks | 2 Comments »

Dave Babych is a pivotal member of the 1993-94 team that dug and clawed its way to the Stanley Cup Final against the New York Rangers.  In remembrance, I'll take a quick look back at his career with Vancouver.  I resist ...

Bobby Lu and Canucks striding

Saturday, November 8th, 2008 Posted in Canucks | No Comments »

Roberto Luongo secured his second straight shut-out and a 1-0 win against the Coyotes on Thursday night.  My sister Tracy was gracious to take me to the game and we had a fabulous time.  The Coyotes' youth movement has some teeth ...

last night’s game

Friday, November 7th, 2008 Posted in Canucks | No Comments »

Roberto Luongo snared the shutout and the Coyotes went down in flames this night.  I was personally on hand at GM Place for the first time since Kyle Turris last skated here with Milan Lucic, Karl Alzner, Sam Gagner, and ...

level of intensity

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008 Posted in Canucks | No Comments »

In totalling 4 out of a possible 6 points in the last three games playing a decent contest against the defending Cup Champion Red Wings, Canuck fans have reason to feel elated.  Special teams have not been good but the effort level ...
