February 5: As of today, Sean Zandberg and I are heading on over to the SB Nation world to bring you the best in Canucks hockey at our new home: nucksmisconduct.com.

Do come along and play with the our shiny new toys won’t you?



Seven…Seven Straight Losses (Ah Ah Ah)!

Jan 29th, 2009 | By Mike | Category: Canucks = Fail, News, awwwww shit

January 29 – Remember earlier this year when the Canucks teased a marketing campaign with the word Seven? Who knew that number would be so relevant just a few months later, only now it’s the man behind the bench who needs to be “retired.” If you’re so inclined, let your voice be heard.



Leaving It All Out On The Ice

Jan 20th, 2009 | By Mike | Category: Previews, Rants, awwwww shit

January 20 – I’ve spent a week kicking this team around but tonight I’ll play a different tune: they just have to win. We can’t let another San Jose reclamation project start well on our watch. We just can’t.



In Linden We Trust (Liveblog)

December 17 – I hope everyone is near a TV tonight because the Canucks retire jerseys about once every thousand years. For one last time, let’s tap the sticks for #16, Captain Canuck, Trevor Linden. Now and always a tall glass of awesome.



Nooooooooooo!

October 26 – What’s that? You’re tired (perhaps hungover?) from a long weekend of whatever it is that you do. Maybe you subjected yourself to a long night of hockey and were doing double takes on what appeared to be the Sedins playing with Jason Krog? Then you’re like me.



This just in…

Jun 27th, 2008 | By Mike | Category: awwwww shit

With news today that Bertuzzi is no longer loved in Disneyland (damn you Mickey), I was having a bit of fun over in Kukla’s land about how many notable ex-Canucks, once vital to the organization, are as of July 1st literally free to the first GM who doesn’t like the notion of having job security.
As [...]



Give me stats or give me golf for six months

Apr 2nd, 2008 | By Mike | Category: awwwww shit

So…any stat hounds out there? I’d like to know where I can find the frequency of how often a team is scored twice on in 60-120 seconds in a given season. I’m not sure where to look, but it dawned on me last night (as the Avs tied the game then took the lead in [...]



When life hands you a lemon…

Mar 13th, 2008 | By Mike | Category: awwwww shit

…(*angry voice*) “MAKE LEMONADE!”
This season is simply out of control. Up, up, down, down, left, right, left right (B, A, select start…you get a gold star if you know what that is)…this team’s fortunes are all over the map.
So you know the final injury foot has dropped on this defense as the #1 guy is [...]



378 Penalty Minutes

I’m going to go ahead and blame Mika Noronen for this…
