Re: Abbotsford gets it's AHL team( done deal)

I live in Chilliwack, and have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it gives us all another reasonably priced option to watch high-level hockey without the exorbitant prices or 6 hour time commitment it requires to attend a Canucks game from the Valley. You can take the whole family to the ga...

Re: In the East tonight

That Carolina/New Jersey series fell under the proverbial radar for most NHL fans, but that was one fine series: fast, physical, with plenty o' twists and turns. The incredible comeback/choke tonight gave it the Instant Classic status (except in New Jersey). I think Carolina is starting to build som...

Re: Hodgson OHL Most Outstanding Player

That's just fantastic, and its always great to see our best prospects get battle-tested playoff experience before they reach the NHL, like Cody Hodgson for the Battalion, and all our young guns on the Moose who are doing so well right now.

Vezina Finalists Announced...Backstrom over Luongo?

The NHL has named the three finalists for the Vezina trophy (top goaltender). The first two names, Steve Mason and Tim Thomas, are deserving, but the third finalist surprised me. Granted, NicklBack finished in the top 5 in Goals Against Average and Save Percentage, but history dictates that Wild goa...

Re: CANUCKS WIN THE NW DIVISION TITLE!

COYOTES WIN IN THE SHOOTOUT!!!! I really really did not want to face the Ducks in the first round. They have so much firepower, with the addition of Whitney on the blueline, the experience of Pronger and Niedermayer, a potent top line, and a lethal power play. They'll give Detroit a run for their mo...

Re: CANUCKS WIN THE NW DIVISION TITLE!

All said, it has been quite an entertaining season, and it is very satisfying to win a division many predicted we would finish 4th or 5th at the beginning of the year. Catching the Flames for home ice advantage in the last week was great, even worth enduring two 1-0 games (one in person, the other t...

Re: Phaneuf out for Flames last games ?

Hmmmm, Anaheim looks primed to take the 6th seed if Minnesota wins at home tomorrow and Anaheim takes care of Colorado on Sunday. And they are as hot as the FHM swimsuit issue. Did you know the Canucks are the only prospective playoff team without a player who has won the Stanley Cup? Playoff experi...

Re: Whitecaps FC

I am really, really stoked about this. Rumour holds that Portland will be granted the final 2011 expansion franchise within a week. We'll have the national rivalry with Toronto, and the geographical rivalries with Seattle and Portland. As a kid who regularly visited Empire Stadium to cheer on the Wh...

Re: I hate the Canucks! I love the Canucks!

I drive the bandwagon, haha. And I often choose to slow up for those who have jumped off and are trying to jump back on again. The more the merrier, but stay on the damn wagon, okay!

Thanks,

Re: I hate the Canucks! I love the Canucks!

Well, I came into this world in 1970, the same year as the Canucks. I have been a fan since I was old enough to understand, but strangely enough, it wasn't because of the influence of die hard relatives. My family doesn't follow sports; it was Jim Robson who hooked me. All the radios in the house an...

Re: GDT: Canucks host the Wild - 7:00 - CBC (HD),NHLN-US

Nice to see the excellent effort by some players being rewarded by Vigneault in the last minute. Sundin on the bench, where he belongs.
Good on ya Kesler for the tying goal.

Overtime, we got a point, its a start.

Luongo's return...

Well, Roberto Luongo was back on the ice today, and judging by the interviews with Bobbi-Lu and AV, he is getting closer and will probably be ready to play before the end of the month. Canucks management has a difficult task, trying to shackle an athlete who is absolutely chomping at the bit to play...

Many a general manager has said, it is the trades they DON'T make that define their success or failure.

Re: Having Trouble w/ Getting Lines Info

Just to throw this out there, but I often turn to the TSN Ice Chips page, which has line updates after morning practice quite often on game day for Canadian teams, and quite often goalie starts and other late-breaking news during the day.
