Alanah has started a very bad thing: forcing everyone to confess they are closet boozehounds. No sweat for some of us. And I’m no different.
In fact, let’s get nuts. Since I think NHL players are a step above the rest of professional athletes, I’m just going to go leaguewide and find some wingmen…those [...]

If nothing else, here’s hoping that Zack can pull a Rory and mess up the “All Star Game”. Also, as the link indicates, the ghost is officially in the fold.
You may recall that Vancouver got Balej when they found a kind soul in my backyard named Sather to take the idiot Fedor Fedorov off our [...]

Just about one day and counting before the new Vancouver Canucks logo gets released. If you’ve been following all the new jerseys being slowly released over the summer, you can tell that there really isn’t that much changing. If the rumors are true, then there will be no vintage logo revival either. So sad. [...]

Checking around the intraweb today and we have some comical news which, honestly, is about the best it’ll get in the dead of summer.
1. Just when you thought that the NHL would stay out of the muddy waters of Bonds and his muscle creams, NBA gambling fixes and, well, anything the Cincinnati Bengals do, the [...]

I’ll admit, I know next to nothing about Juraj Simek. Which may explain why I missed this entirely, but Simek – picked 167th overall during last year’s draft – has signed with the Vancouver Canucks after having a great first year with the Wheat Kings of the WHL (28G, 29A).
Nonis has done a good job [...]

Barring any stellar preseason play by a try out or younger guy, the bottom six are closer to be set now that Shannon appears to have inked a one year deal. C’mon Linden, where are ya?
I know Ritchie and Shannon can both play center and you may also be asking why Burrows and his biblical [...]

The NHL brains released the 2007-08 schedule today and your Vancouver Canucks have some particularities you should be aware of:
Oct 5 – Home opener against the Toskala-less SharksOct 6 – First view of Mike Keenan having a coronary as leader of the FlamesOct 10 – The “seriously-we-still-have-Hatcher?” Flyers come to GM PlaceOct 13 – [...]

…son of a bitch, it IS a defense. So much for the premature warnings that getting Beeska to stick around would be tough.
With Bieksa signed through 2010-11, that means the current top five Vancouver defensemen are all under contract through at least 2009-10 when Ohlund will be a UFA and Krajicek will be a RFA. [...]

A mere two days of bemoaning others and Nonis gets in the swing of things by doing almost exactly what we knew he would: take the frugal road to some projects and keep this team lean and “mean”.
In no specific order:
>> Blue chipper Schneider gives the finger to beantown and comes West>> Welcome new [...]

As the rest of the NHL GM’s trip over themselves to sign free agent vagabonds, Nonis keeps trucking along down the frugality freeway. If you’re like me, you may have done a double take when the Canucks popped up on the wires yesterday, but it was just to announce that Lukas Krajicek signed a 2 [...]
