Playoff Time! Sharks vs Canucks 1st Round Preview

April 29, 2013 Rob 0 Comments Playoffs

One year ago, the San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings played each other in the final game of the regular season and the Sharks won 3-2, giving the Canucks the Kings in round 1. This year, the opposite happened. The Kings beat the Sharks in their final game (by the same 3-2 score) to [...]

Canucks Chance at Glory Begins – Canucks vs Kings 1st Round Series Preview

April 10, 2012 Rob 1 Comment Game Preview, Playoffs

The Canucks are about to start what they hope will be a long and memorable Stanley Cup run. This is the 42nd chance for the Canucks to win the ultimate prize, and one of the best chances to actually get it done. But wait, before we get too ahead of ourselves, there’s a team by [...]

Don Cherry Criticizes the Canucks – And He’s Right… Mostly

October 31, 2011 Rob 0 Comments Special Feature

Don Cherry did something that he rarely does on Coach’s Corner yesterday, he talked about the Vancouver Canucks. Cherry said the Canucks weren’t paying the price (actually he said ‘playing the price’, but we know what you meant Don). He also said that people were unfairly pointing the finger at Roberto Luongo (actually, he said [...]

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.

Why the Canucks Didn't Win the 2011 Stanley Cup

June 17, 2011 Ken Li 4 Comments Game Recap, Playoffs

As I sit in the comfort of my own living room, watching drunken hooligans ransack downtown stores, I was finally able to relax myself enough to type this up. I, like most of you, truly believed this was THE year. A President’s Trophy, a Clarence Campbell Bowl, a franchise record for points in a season, a William M. Jennings Trophy, an Art Ross Trophy, and Hart, Selke, Vezina, and Adams Trophy nominations. The highest scoring team in the regular season. The highest scoring defensive corps in the regular season. Let’s not forget that home teams in Game 7s of the finals were 12-3, and the whole trend of Stanley Cup wins after hosting Olympics in Canada. But quite simply put, it was not meant to be.

A Canucks Rant From A Passionate Fan

June 9, 2011 Rob 1 Comment Game Recap, Playoffs

Late last night I received an email from my friend Darin. Darin is a die hard Canucks fan, about as die hard as you can get. He watches every game, analyzes every play. He loves the Canucks. But he also takes losing pretty hard. He last ranted this hard during the Chicago series last year. He was remarkably quiet during the first round this year, but after last night, he needed to rant.

The Top Three Stories that Nobody is Talking About Heading into Game 4, Bruins vs Canucks

June 7, 2011 Rob 0 Comments Game Preview, Uncategorized

With all the hoopla surrounding the Aaron Rome hit (and the subsequent suspension) on Nathan Horton, a few stories have been overshadowed. Everyone has had a chance to hash it out by now, so it’s time to move on to the big stories heading into game 4.

Canucks-Bruins Stanley Cup Final Series Preview

May 28, 2011 Rob 2 Comments Game Preview, Playoffs

With a 1-0 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday night, the Canucks found out their opponent for the Stanley Cup Final. That opponent, of course, are the big bad Boston Bruins. While the Lightning probably have more star power, I think this matchup will provide a little more sizzle given that the Bruins are an original 6 franchise.

Say it with me… The VANCOUVER CANUCKS are going to the Stanley Cup Final!

May 25, 2011 Rob 1 Comment Game Recap, Playoffs

I was twelve years old when Jim Robson famously called “the Vancouver Canucks are going to the Stanley Cup FINAL!” after Greg Adams’ famous goal in 1994. And now 17 years later, a new generation has a iconic call of their own (give kudos to John Shorthouse, he wasn’t fooled). It wasn’t pretty, but the Canucks were the best team in this series versus the Sharks, and deserve it. This team keeps winning, and they keep doing it in different ways. Lets review how it all went down last night:

The Clarence Campbell Bowl is in the Building! Canucks One Win Away from the Stanley Cup Final

May 24, 2011 Rob 0 Comments Game Preview, Game Recap, Playoffs

The 1994 Vancouver Canucks had a reunion on Monday, with the likes of Linden, McLean, Courtnall, Adams and others on hand. It will be 17 years ago to the day on Wednesday that Greg Adams scored in double overtime in game 5 of the conference finals at home to send the Canucks to the Stanley Cup Final. Tuesday night, the Canucks get a chance to match that feat and the whole city of Vancouver is ready to party.
