Canucks Playoff Hopes, It’s Beyond Do or Die
The Canucks have seven games left on their regular season schedule and have failed to perform leaps and bounds better than their wild card competition within recent weeks. Since the end of the 4 Nations Face-Off the Canucks needed to play consistently above .500 hockey to put them self in a wild card position and yet the St. Louis Blues, Minnesota Wild and Calgary Flames all remain above them in … Read More
What Boeser Can Do for the Canucks
There are a little over 10 games left for the Canucks before their NHL regular season journey is over, and their playoff picture is either firmed or erased. It’s going to come down to the wire for Vancouver and while they have Quinn Hughes back, their netminder in Kevin Lankinen is doing his job exceptionally well and Elias Pettersson is trending up, the Canucks now need their depth pieces to … Read More

Home Stretch: Outlining Vancouver’s Performance After 60 Games Played
One minute you’re studying line deployment for the Young Stars Weekend in Penticton and then you look up from your phone and it’s March. On the verge of a wild card spot and a still too be determined post season birth, the Canucks are now 75% through this NHL season. Throughout the year I made a point of checking this teams pulse every 20 games to get a sense of … Read More
I Just Don’t Know About Petey Anymore
In late September, as I set up my auto-draft preferences for one of the (far too many) fantasy leagues that I’m in, I felt compelled to do something that I had never done before. After re-ranking the players that I was most interested in drafting, I then looked to the other side of the screen, to consider if there were any players that I didn’t want to draft. After moving … Read More
Quinn Hughes, What’s Not to Like? The Most Popular Canuck on and off the Ice.
As much as she’d like to deny it, over the years that we have been together, my wife has taken more of an interest in the general goings-on surrounding the Vancouver Canucks. She is still not a die-hard fan by any means. But as her eyes have become more routinely drawn to the screen, because of a fight or my reaction to a given play, I’ve gained more opportunities to … Read More
Evaluating Demko’s Performance Since His Return
Demko has now played just over ten games so far this season, with his 11th outing of the season being Tuesday night’s 3-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres at home. While Demko’s sample size is small and was interrupted by a minor back injury, there is now at least a double-digit amount of games that #35 can be initially judged for. What can be determined from Demko’s play so far, … Read More
It’s a Bummer to Be a Canucks Fan Right Now
I don’t believe there is a sane Canucks fan alive that would say that their excitement for this team is higher than it was this time last year, or even at the start of the season. Back in October, the Canucks were entering what looked to be their second consecutive season of being serious contenders, after coming off of what was their first meaningful playoff effort since the 2012-13 season. … Read More
If It’s Pettersson or Miller, Pettersson Wins
The Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller topic feels at this point both feels, old hat and something that we still don’t know enough about. What is clear, as much as both Miller and Pettersson have danced around the topic when directly asked in interviews, is that not everything is rosy with their relationship. Elias Pettersson on any potential rift with J.T. Miller: "I don't know why people are still trying … Read More
