Vancouver Canucks

By darren I haven’t written anything about the Canucks for a while, so here are a few thoughts on the draft, recent free agency activity and the rest of the summer: Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Samuelsson - Kessler - Demitra Raymond - Wellwood - Bernier Hordichuk - Johnson - Rypien Luongo Schneider

By Jason Brough 3. Signing Jay Bouwmeester was a big win for Darryl Sutter, but let's not forget a few things before we hand the Northwest Division to Calgary: The Flames won't have Cammalleri anymore, they'll have Olli Jokinen instead, Dion Phaneuf will need to get his **** together, ditto for Miikka Kip...

If you like the Sedins- I do- and you like having a dynamic top line that is not flashy but gets the job done then you should be pretty happy. I am. However, even if you are happy about the only action by the Canucks on UFA day should you be content? I'm certainly not content and I don't think any Canu...

July 1 is a significant day in the National Hockey League. It's the day that unrestricted free agents are finally able to negotiate with any team they want. Even with a fading economy, it's a safe bet that money will be spent, and it will probably be spent freely by at least some teams. With this b...

By Mike Halford KB: How worried are you about the prospect of facing Roberto Luongo? He pretty much beat the Blues by himself, and now he’s pissed because he got passed over for the Vezina. KB: What are the chances we get to see Brent Sopel play this series? He is something of a cult figure here in Vancouver.

By Tyler Wilde If you've ever doubted how much of a hockey city Vancouver is, all you need to do is listen to the spin and buzz around this city over the last couple days over a harmless and rather-clichéd comment Roberto Luongo made Saturday during his "After Hours" interview on Hockey Night In Canada. 

By Jason Brough Mike Gillis also laid out a goal and never wavered. He wanted to sign Mats Sundin. Problem was, so did everyone else. That included New York Rangers general manager Glen Sather, who may or may not have been high as a kite considering what he paid Wade Redden. But that's another stoner flick.

By Jason Brough It seems that one member of the KB was so convincing in his argument for the Canucks to call up Michael Grabner from Manitoba that Vancouver general manager Mike Gillis actually listened. The other member of the KB, who argued against such a move, will now feel shame. But Grabner was the topic...

By ricolapak I mean, if you look at, say, the Canucks, you see very little in them that is representative of the fact that they are a club from Vancouver.  There are no real rivalries against other teams (I reckon some might say we are rivals with the Oilers or Flames, but I have seen little evidence other th...
