The Demitra Dilemma
After suffering a shoulder injury last May, there has been much speculation as to if or when, Pavol Demitra will finally make his return to the Canucks roster. Well, the good news for Vancouver and it’s loyal fans, is that his return could be much sooner than expected. This week the veteran Slovak native, has [...]
Canadian Heroics fall short; Canucks Dominate
It feels like writing a eulogy, I’m distraught, I don’t know what to say, but this isn’t writers block, its heartbreak. The gold medal streak is dead, I hate this feeling. W.H. Auden wrote it best… Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the [...]
Protecting Luongo, More Injured Canucks
If it wasn’t bad enough that the Canucks allowed four goals in the final period against the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday, Ryan Johnson left the ice on a stretcher and Roberto Luongo will also join his fallen teammates for at least a week with a hairline rib fracture. Sure – Injuries happen, but the [...]
Sub .500 Homesick Blues; Canucks drop another Road Game
The Canucks continued with their road woes with a 2-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers yesterday. The Canucks threw 40 shots at Nikolai Khabibulin but only one was able to get past the Bulin Wall through 60 minutes.

Canucks Depth Chart: Rypien and Bieksa Snubbed, injuries or trade TBA?
Well, its almost midnight in Victoria, BC and I should be doing my readings for school, but some things just can’t be ignored. Thanks to a fellow Puckhead, I came across what seems to be a couple of major mistakes or a serious indication of a shift in the Vancouver Canucks lineup. Above is a [...]
All New: Dressing Room, Cap Space, Rypien Victim
The Canucks dropped their first pre season game of the year last night, but the game was almost worth it after I saw Rick Rypien teach Ryan Carter a thing or two. Tom Larscheid gets a little over the top sometimes, but I love that he’s pumping Rick Rypien’s tires. Rypien doesn’t get enough credit [...]
Should He Stay or Should He Go? A Canucks Roster Breakdown
As the Canucks work their way through training camp and the pre-season, many questions will be answered about the team, specifically roster positions. Through the dog days of summer, I was left wondering when Mike Gillis would be able to add that extra defencemen or depth forward to the team in order to round out [...]
