Canucks to wear Millionaires jerseys next month

February 5, 2013 Rob 0 Comments Special Feature

When it comes to choosing retro jerseys, the Vancouver Canucks have a larger selection than most. I mean, this franchise has had so many drastically different jersey styles we dedicated a whole section to it! But next month, the Canucks will be looking to the Vancouver Millionaires for inspiration.

Cam Barker. Yes THAT Cam Barker.

Hey everyone! Been a while since I’ve posted on here. Hell, it’s been a while since I’ve had anything post anywhere! With “lockout out this” and “hockey related revenue that”, it felt like hockey would never be back and I would never get to post another one of my grammatically incorrect blog posts on to [...]

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 [...]

Alex Burrows is going to get paaaaaaaaaaaaaid.

July 23, 2012 Mitch 0 Comments Random Thoughts, Special Feature

Hey everyone, It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything on here that wasn’t a back handed compliment to Mason “the little milt that couldn’t” Raymond or a random piece of funny Canucks news, like the hilarious bit about Dale Weise and him going to salary arbitration. Today I wanted to forget it’s Monday and [...]

UFA of the Day: Jason Garrison

June 29, 2012 Mitch 0 Comments Free Agency

Today I decided to profile UFA defenceman Jason Garrison. There was a lot of buzz at the end of the Stanley Cup finals when Garrison said he would love to be a Vancouver Canuck. Without going balls out and getting the Orca tattooed on him, Garrison will patiently wait until July 1st to see if [...]

Roberto Luongo Trade Rumour Bonanza: Toronto Maple Leafs Edition

June 8, 2012 Rob 3 Comments Rumours, Trades

Unless you have been avoiding all Canucks news for the last month or so, you’ll know that there have been quite a few Roberto Luongo trade rumours floating around. There’s definitely a lot of teams that could use Luongo, but are they willing to give up the assets necessary to acquire him? And just what [...]

Alain Vigneault Gets Contract Extension, Another Chance

May 24, 2012 Rob 0 Comments Signing

Alain Vigneault was given a two year contract extension on Wednesday. I’m torn on the decision. I don’t love it, but I don’t hate it either. If you were to have a town hall style debate on Alain Vigneault, it would be easy to make a compelling argument on why he should stay. Two straight [...]

Your 2011-12 Canucks MVP: Dan Hamhuis

March 28, 2012 Rob 0 Comments Special Feature

Over the last couple of months, as Daniel and Henrik Sedin have gone into slumps (coupled with the NHL’s return to the dead puck era), there has been a lot of scuttlebutt among Canucks fans about who the team’s MVP is. Roberto Luongo has been a popular choice of late (despite the fact that his backup has [...]

What Mike Gillis is probably thinking about, one week ahead of trade deadline day

February 20, 2012 Rob 0 Comments Trades

We are now one week away from trade deadline day in the NHL. It’s a day that can be overrated in a lot of respects, but it still has a lot of importance. The Canucks acquired two very important pieces of their team at last year’s trade deadline in Chris Higgins and Max Lapierre. Of [...]

Mats Sundin’s Canucks Legacy

February 13, 2012 Rob 2 Comments Special Feature

Mats Sundin’s #13 banner was raised to the rafters of the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on Saturday night, and it made me think back to his time in Vancouver. Sundin, as you might remember, spent half a season in blue and green during the 2008-09 season. The Mats Sundin that Canucks fans got to [...]
