Canucks Fall 4-3 To Penguins In A Shootout In Season Opener
Did you miss the pre game ceremony? Don't worry. I wish I did. Rather than raise the Western Conference Champions banner, the MC whisked through the accomplishments by the team and individuals and then focused most of his attention on the police, medical staff, etc etc that were helping out during...
Canucks Fall 3-2 To Ducks
Had to completely legally watch the first and second period of this game via streaming as the Braves-Phillies game went 13 innings on Sportsnet. Good thing it's only preseason, I guess. The Ducks came out flying on home ice and got 2 first period goals. Cam Fowler banked a shot off Mark Mancari's...
Canucks End Flames' Season With A Bang
As in..BANG: And Henrik Karlsson can complain about interference from Mason Raymond all he wants to but he's wrong. It looked like the Flames were going to end their season on a high note. After a relatively even first period that ended 0-0 the Canucks continued taking penalties in the 2nd...
Oilers 4 Canucks 1
It was just a matter of time before the Canucks mailed one in. Having clinched the NW Division, Western Conference and the President's Trophy they took their foot off the gas and got out-hustled by an Oilers squad that was sick and tired of losing. It's a treat watching the Oiler kids though isn't...
Coyotes 3 Canucks 1
Gotta keep this game in focus. The Canucks outshot the Dogs 47-29 in this one but the 47 shot total for the Canucks has to have surprised a lot of people, myself included. For most of the game the play/pressure would dictate that kind of lopsidedness. But Jason "Barbie" Labarbera hardly stole this...
The Goods Behind The Canucks' 7-1 Destruction Of Dallas
The Dallas Stars came out flying to start the game, but when Alexandre Burrows blew a rolling puck past Kari Lehtonen 1:18 in on the Canucks' first shot, the Canucks really made the Stars' flight brief. Sure, Henrik Sedin coughed the puck up 6:00 later and Brad Richards scored a beauty to make it...
Canucks 4 Islanders 3 In A Shootout
I don't care how they win one. I really thought the Canucks would open a can of whoop ass in the 3rd period but they did not. I thought they were just toying with the Islanders. Nope. The Islanders played a decent game behind a stellar effort from rookie goaltender Kevin Poulin. But despite a...
Canucks 3 Flames 1: Don't Get Cocky
It was a sound defeat by the Canucks in a sense because they made it look more easy than the shot total suggested: 44-21 Flames. Roberto Luongo was solid again but was unimpressed after the game. He did not come out and skate the circle and give his stick away after being named the first star of...
Canucks 4 Stars 1: Happy New Year Indeed!
Did you go out partying and miss the game? Well you missed a good one! Here are the highlights: Another gutsy effort from the Canucks. We have talked about them putting the foot on the gas and burying teams in the past, and not doing so. Well not anymore. Right from the opening faceoff they...
Canucks Beat Leafs...Again
Well, that was the 8th straight time the Canucks have beaten the Leafs since 2003 and Alain Vigneault's 200th win as a Canucks coach. May as well tack another year onto the undefeated stat/streak because that was the last time Vancouver plays Toronto this season..unless the unforseeable happens...
