Zack Kassian is VERY Photogenic

January 24, 2013 Rob 3 Comments Random

While searching out a picture of Zack Kassian for my piece on the Canucks shootout strategy, I discovered that Zack Kassian has taken a lot of priceless photos in his short stint as a pro hockey player. He’s halfway through his second season as a pro and the internet is already full of amazingly hilarious [...]

Dale Weise Signs Overseas

October 10, 2012 Mitch 0 Comments lockout, Random

According to Jon Keen (@JonKeenNLSports) Vancouver Canucks winger and all-star twitter user Dale Weise has signed to play in Tilburg in the Dutch Pro League. In any event Weise is headed overseas, the first of the Canucks to do so. Hopefully his “hash and whores” mantra keeps him over there. This is as sad as [...]

Pass it to anyone but Bulis: a vengeful top 50 list

September 28, 2012 Rob 5 Comments Random

The other day I was going through one of the blogs that I read on a semi regular basis, Pass it to Bulis, and I came across this. It was a list of 50 people to follow on Twitter for Canucks fans. Now, just like any good self centered blogger, I of course immediately looked [...]

The Rules of Trash Talking

April 26, 2012 Rob 1 Comment Random

About a year ago I began thinking of ‘the rules of trash talking’. It started at a Canucks game at Rogers Arena. It was a game late in the season during the Canucks assault on the National Hockey League. The Canucks were number one in the league, showing no signs of slowing down and were [...]

Great stuff here from Kevin Bieksa. Apparently a reporter in Los Angeles (Mike Dunsmore from Fox Sports) thought he was Ryan Kesler, so he just went with it.

Kevin Bieksa, don’t ever change. Apparently Bieksa’s teammates bet him to find a way to say “milk hot dogs” during his interview with Dan Murphy the other day. Bieksa won $300. Watch the video here.

Budweiser Girls and Other New and Exciting Things at Rogers Arena This Season

October 7, 2011 Rob 3 Comments Random, Special Feature

The Canucks lost their season opener in a shootout last night, but I’d like to focus on something else. There are a lot of changes inside of Rogers Arena. In case you haven’t been there yet this year, lets take a look. New Beer Molson is gone from Rogers Arena. That means that Rickard’s Red [...]

Alright, today we give something for the ladies. In case you missed it, Ryan Kesler will be appearing in ESPN’s the Body Issue. That is all. Take it away Right Said Fred!

Hodgson Changes Number, Hopes to Rid Curse of the Number 39

October 3, 2011 Rob 0 Comments Injury, Random

Cody Hodgson has decided to switch numbers. He’ll be moving away from his familiar #39 in favour of the #9 jersey, and I’m all for it! The number 39 has not been kind of Cody Hodgson. In fact, it hasn’t been kind of anyone in Canuck history.

Canucks Fans and Battered Wife Syndrome: A Long, Hard Summer

August 14, 2011 Stu Mctuzzi 0 Comments Random, Special Feature

In a college newspaper several years ago, a good friend of mine wrote an article which drew a parallel between Canucks fans and battered wives. While crude and wildly insensitive to the plight of battered women worldwide, the content of the article has always stuck with me, ringing in my ears at the end of each disappointing season.
