Nucks destroy Hawks, 5-1

What a great game by the Canucks!  Sedins and Burrows stole the show once again teaching the young Hawks a thing or two.. or three.  This line is so amazing to watch, just pure skills.  It’s amusing how other teams state that they’ll shut down the Sedins just before the game, but eventually fall to them.  Just take a look at this goal where Hank pops a beautiful pass…

Go Manitoba Moose Go

The Red Wings are leading the Penguins 2-1 in the 08-09 Stanley Cup Finals.  This should be another great series, with the Penguins more hungrier than ever from falling in the finals just last season.

After the Canucks got booted, I felt like smashing my TV in half, but luckily I didn’t.  To make up my daily dose of hockey, I noticed that the Manitoba Moose are on…

Canucks exit playoffs

Ow.  What a heart breaker for all Canucks fans around the globe.  Canucks fall to the Chicago BlackHawks 4-2 in the second round of the 08-09 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

It never seemed that the Canucks were completely in sync in this series as compared to their previous comanding victory with the St. Louis Blues.  Things got off to rocky start and never really settled down until we were booted…

Canucks Sweep Blues, Enter Rd 2

Wow, my last post was when the Canucks signed Sundin, which was at the end of last year!  A lot has happened since then, including the dreaded January streak, which everyone seems to forget about right now.  There’s a reason for that.  The Canucks have been without a doubt, the hottest team in the later part of the season.  Luongo has been very hot lately and Sundin has contributed…

Sundin is a Canuck

That’s right folks, the great Mats Sundin is officially apart of the Vancouver Canucks organization as of Thursday, December 18, 2008!  Yes, it has been a lengthy wait, but oh boy was it ever worth it.  It was down to the New York Rangers and the Vancouver Canucks as the two final teams that Sundin was actually still interested in.  Vancouver got the edge and now Sundin will be practicing…

Canucks take 6 bites out of Big Apple

The Canucks faced the Rangers today in their first meeting with ex-Canuck Marcus Naslund and what a game it was.  Why didn’t we come out flying like this against the Islanders on Monday night?  The Canucks owned the first period, cashing in on 2 of 3 breakaways in the first half!  Wellwood broke away first with a pretty feed from Ohlund, froze Lundqvist, and stuck it on the right…

Canucks aftermath

After weeks of signings and trades, the Canucks saw their captain move to the Big Apple and the iron man reuniting with old bosses.  Everything seemed to be going down hill from here.  The Canucks had to build their offence, but went ahead to ship off two of their top forwards.  You know what?   Good riddance.

Nazzy was just not his old self, painfully obvious in his…

Farewell Nazzy

After spending 12 NHL seasons with the Vancouver Canucks, our beloved captain has left the team to join the New York Rangers.  On Thursday, July 3, 2008, he agreed to terms with the Rangers worth US$8-million over 2 years.

First of all, Nazzy didn’t really have a choice to stay as Canucks management didn’t even make him an offer.  The coach, Alain Vingneault, and Nazzy didn’t…
