The Canucks got some more bad news the other day, learning that David Booth has a pulled groin and will be out of the lineup for 4 to 6 weeks.

Is Steve Pinizzotto the next Jason King? A lesson for locked out players

January 4, 2013 Rob 1 Comment lockout

December 15, 2012 Rob 0 Comments Prospect Roundup

While the NHL and NHLPA fumble and bumble away the 2012-13 season, I have decided to look to the future. More specifically, the future of the Vancouver Canucks.

July 9, 2012 Mitch 0 Comments Free Agency, Signing

“Just because you can skate, it doesn’t mean you’re going to have a successful time out there” – Mason Raymond.
