Vancouver Canucks

By Jason Brough What's wrong with the Canucks' power play? It's 3-for-25 over the last seven games. That's not good. Guest: Bruce MacLeod of the Macomb Daily to talk Detroit Red Wings. How's Todd Bertuzzi doing? Guest: Jason Botchford of The Province. The latest on Daniel Sedin, plus all the rest of the Canuc...

By Mike Halford This morning, we reconnected with Blake Price in the TEAM 1040 studios to catch up on all things sporting. Topics discussed included the Sedins contract scenario, what to expect from Cody Hodgson next year and what George Brett thinks of the Kansas City media. Click here to listen.

By Jason Brough With both Mike Halford (sad, throwing up) and Blake Price (undisclosed) out of the line-up, it was only one half of the KB that joined Jeff Patterson and Dave Tomlinson in the TEAM 1040 studios to discuss the Vancouver Canucks' elimination from the 2009 NHL playoffs at the silky-smooth ha...

By Mike Halford Jeff Marek from CBC's Hockey Night in Canada, Jason Botchford of the Vancouver Province, And, as promised, here are some Canucks-Blackhawks Game 5 report card grades: A paltry 21 for Vancouver last night. In the last two games - both Canucks losses - Chicago has outshot Vancouver 58-36.

By Mike Halford Just because our Sunday morning show was abbreviated, doesn't mean it was any less entertaining. We were joined by Sam Fels and Matthew Killion of Second City Hockey to discuss which Canuck Chicago hockey fans have tagged public enemy No. 1 and whether or not Vince Vaughn represents a new wa...

By Jason Brough The Vancouver Canucks will face the Chicago Blackhawks in the second round of the NHL playoffs. That much we know. But how will Canucks fans taunt Chicago goalie Nikolai Khabibulin? That was the pressing matter as we joined Blake Price and Dave Tomlinson on their show this morning on TEAM 10...

By Jason Brough What a fine, fine Vancouver day...to be stuck indoors hosting a radio show. But we are professionals, so we toughed it out and talked NHL playoffs this morning on the Team 1040, even though we should've been outside playing frolf. We also touched on the NFL draft and discussed which of the teams t...

By Mike Halford It was a raucous four-man booth Tuesday morning as we joined Bob Marjanovich and Dave Tomlinson in the Team 1040 studio. Among the topics discussed were Halford's wolfman facial hair, which Canuck not named Roberto Luongo has impressed the most this postseason and how nobody can tell wha...

By Mike Halford Another Sunday, another two hours and 30 minutes of sports radio excellence in the books. Joining us on the airwaves today were Greg Wyshynski of Puck Daddy, Ben Kuzma of The Province and Brad Lee of St. Louis Game Time. Special thanks to Brad for dropping what we believe to be the first Mike Dan...

By Mike Halford This morning, we joined Blake Price and Dave Tomlinson in studio and got fired up about the Stanley Cup playoffs. We discussed it all - who you should pick first in your hockey pool (Halford likes Henrik Zetterberg; Brough went with Marc Savard), why triple-overtime is awesome and how Vanc...

By Jason Brough Our intention was to break down the Vancouver Canucks' first-round NHL playoff opponent during our Sunday morning radio show on the Team 1040. Alas, we had no idea who that opponent was. Therefore, we debated which team the Canucks would be better off playing (Columbus or St. Louis), plus to...

By Mike Halford Yup...another exciting Sunday morning of sports talk radio! It was a hockey hostove kinda day on the Team 1040 with our guests: Jeff Marek of CBC's Hockey Night in Canada, Greg "Puck Daddy" Wyshynski from Yahoo! Sports and Adrian Dater of the Denver Post. The highlight of the show had to be when...

By feedback@thecrazycanucks.com (John Bollwitt) We review the month of March, particularly the latest games which have lead the Canucks to the top of the Northwest Division. With everything going so well, is there anything that can go wrong at this point? Whatever your opinion, one thing everyone agrees on is that the Canucks need to keep...

By Jason Brough The topic du jour was whether or not Dave Nonis gets enough credit for the success of the Vancouver Canucks. Our answer: Not sure, hadn't really thought about it. Good question though. And then we took some calls. Bruce from Surrey, go ahead.

By Jason Brough Lots to talk about this morning on the Team 1040. All the news from around the NHL and the world of sports, plus our thoughts on the role of the Vancouver media when it comes to the Canucks. Yoo know, because that topic hasn't been completely beaten to death yet. You can listen to or download the po...

By Jason Brough We had a California theme Sunday morning during our weekly radio show on Team 1040. No surprise there - the Vancouver Canucks already dispatched the San Jose Sharks on Saturday; now they're off to Los Angeles for games against the Kings and Ducks. In other words, you'll listen to the song fro...

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 John Chandler Just like with every season, the NHL’s Canadian-based teams are finding a willingness to drop the gloves whenever they face each other this year. It was no different Tuesday night when the Canucks and Canadiens locked horns. Giveaway

By Jason Brough It was another early wake-up call for the KB as we held down Team 1040's high-profile, Sunday-morning spot with our own brand of sports talk. We, of course, discussed last night's big game in Toronto, plus took a close look at the contract negotiations involving Vancouver Canucks leading...

When we watched the Canucks take to the ice Sunday at the Open Practice at GM Place, I thought to myself that at least 1 of these guys has played their last game as a Canuck.  Matt Cooke is off to Washington, and tonight we get to see Matt Pettinger in a Canucks uniform against Colorado's wayback...

It's sad that the NHL's schedule geniuses allowed this to happen, but the day has finally arrived: In his 3rd season in the NHL, Sidney Crosby is finally in Vancouver to play the Canucks.  Can Sid the Kid and the Penguins sweep Western Canada, or will Roberto Luongo stand tall for the Canucks...
