The Tough Sedins

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009 Posted in Canucks | 3 Comments »

Much ado has been made about Daniel Sedin's chipped tooth and bloody mouth after a high-stick and his supposed "toughness" after remaining on the ice to score a goal on a Sami Salo slap shot. I'm sorry... what? Obviously there's ...

Part 4

Monday, March 30th, 2009 Posted in Canucks | No Comments »

Alex Tanguay, Montreal, $5.25m - 1, I can't see him leaving Montreal, and 2, he won't get a pay raise, that's for sure. Tanguay's first season as a Hab has been disappointing, missing a chunk of the season due to injury. ...

Canucks weapons of choice

Sunday, March 29th, 2009 Posted in Canucks | No Comments »

In updating my site at www.chillerinstinct.com, I thought to do a piece on the dynamic duo of the Canucks, Ryan Kesler and Alexandre Burrows.  I have posted here as well, as have made it the feature on CI.  Enjoy! Robin Keith ...

“I was pissed.”

Sunday, March 29th, 2009 Posted in Canucks | No Comments »

Good for you, Pavol Demitra. You know, if only you played with the same intensity and passion every night you'd be a very, very rich man right now. It's the same ol' story - a talented player with zero passion ...

Life Without Luongo

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009 Posted in Canucks | 5 Comments »

Roberto Luongo doesn't know how long he's going to be in Vancouver. In a recent article from The Province, the West's best netminder made it abundantly clear that he wants to play for a Cup contender. Wow. Talk about being ...

Losing and Winning

Monday, March 23rd, 2009 Posted in Canucks | 6 Comments »

Call it a hangover, call it lazy - the bottom line is, the Canucks failed to capitalize on many of their chances and unsurprisingly fell 5-1 to the Desert Dogs. Roberto Luongowas just average, and if it weren't for Alex ...

Finishing Strong

Friday, March 20th, 2009 Posted in Canucks | 4 Comments »

And that's what the Canucks are doing, even though Roberto Luongo obviously was the bright spot in a win over the Blues. The Canucks had 4 shots in the first, 8 in the second, and 9 in the third. - ...

Halfway There, Part 3

Sunday, March 15th, 2009 Posted in Canucks | No Comments »

Johan Franzen, Detroit, $0.942m - Wow, is this guy in a for a big raise or what!? One of the league's best bang-for-buck, Franzen's in for a much bigger payday. His new salary has the potential to quintuple. Ken Holland has ...

Henrik Nets Two in Hostile Homefront

Saturday, March 14th, 2009 Posted in Canucks | 5 Comments »

An absolutely fantastic start by the Canucks in the first buried the Kings. Never mind that Roberto Luongo was only average last night - when you have a guy like him in net if you score four goals you're probably ...

Hockey Royalty

Thursday, March 12th, 2009 Posted in Canucks | No Comments »

I'd like to just take this team to applaud the Kings for a job well done. I'm not being sarcastic - what Dena Lombardi has done for the Kings is exciting and great for California hockey, who in recent years ...
