Vancouver Canucks

Vancouver Canucks GM Mike Gillis understands that if he has a goalie who is leaking oil, it won't matter how many goals Henrik and Daniel Sedin score.

By Brad_Ziemer We are all Canucks and apparently all the Canucks are British Columbians. Forget about the fact he hails from Montreal, Premier Gordon Campbell appears to have made Canuck goalie Roberto Luongo an honorary British Columbian. A news release from Campbell's office Friday trumpeted the fa...

The Vancouver Canucks begin an NHL-record stretch of 14 consecutive road games Saturday night when they face the slumping Toronto Maple Leafs.

At one end we have the Vancouver Canucks, winners of six-straight games, surging ahead with the confidence built from great individual performances in a team environment. At the other end we have the Toronto Maple Leafs, losers of five straight and sinking to the bottom of the Eastern Con...

The Winter Olympics are coming to Vancouver in a couple of weeks, so the Canucks are leaving now -- on a 14-game road trip. And they won't return again until mid-March. While security fences and Olympic banners went up and roads were closed amid the din of constant construction around Genera...

The story never changes, only the seasons do. As Roberto Luongo said: "It happens every year."

By Elliott_Pap At full speed, it appeared Oiler defenceman Denis Grebeshkov did indeed trip Canuck Mason Raymond in overtime Wednesday. But, upon review, it was indeed a phantom call. Raymond was nudged by the Oiler and lost his balance but he was not tripped by Grebeshkov's stick. So the Canucks got a brea...

By Mike Halford If Henrik Sedin was Canadian, would he have made Team Canada? (This was our poll question for the evening. Choices were "Yes, he's the leading scorer in the NHL," and "No, his game is too -- how do you put this -- 'Swedish.'") Where do Pavol Demitra and Michael Grabner fit into the Canucks lineu...

By pihamilton While Bieksa, 28, has no idea when he’ll return to the lineup, his best bet is to heal properly and watch how the dominoes fall on the back end. There’s the Mathieu Schneider fiasco.

By Jason Brough They're red-headed Swedish twins. That alone should spark some creativity. Throw in the fact Henrik and Daniel Sedin are elite hockey talents and the marketing machines that support both the Vancouver Canucks and the NHL really need to start selling these guys better. But how? We, along wi...

By Noah Love Dustin Byfuglien's dazzling overtime winner against the Rangers on Wednesday certainly got the attention of his coaches and probably Team USA general manager Brian Burke. But it also makes you wonder why the hulking winger doesn't have more than nine goals in 30 games.

By Jason Brough 6. I got my venting out of the way earlier, so now I'd like to say something positive about last night's game: The Canucks' second goal by Daniel Sedin, from Henrik, was one of the best they've ever teamed up to score. So many good things on that play. Daniel covering for Ehrhoff at the point. Danie...
