It's always fun when our two insiders sit down for a chat. Two of our Vancouver Canucks bloggers here at NWSB Josh (@vancan19) and Kevin (@flyingVhockey) sat down at their keyboards and discussed who should start in net for the Canucks versus Boston on Saturday. Don't you even dare say this was scripted. Who starts in net? Roberto Luongo or Cory Schneider?

Henrik Sedin has apparently had Twisted Sister on repeat on his iPod lately. The Canucks forward is fed up. He's not necessarily fed up with being pushed around -- as he and his brother Daniel Sedin have become known to accept -- but instead, Henrik is sick and tired of being asked about being pushed around. Los Angeles defenseman Drew Doughty became the latest to rough up the...

Josh Hall one of our Vancouver Canucks bloggers is back with his Saturday GAME OF THE YEAR Vancouver Canucks vs. Boston Bruins matchup preview. 10:00 a.m. PT, on Rogers Sportsnet. We have Tim Thomas and Cory Schneider. NOT Roberto Luongo. It’s still up in the air until Friday who will start for Vancouver. We won't see Aaron Rome laying out Nathan Horton. Rome is out.

The internet is ABLAZE tonight with a MASSIVE TRADE rumor going around. The Ducks Get Mason Raymond, Cody Hodson, and Keith Ballard and a 3rd The Canucks Get Corey Perry When we know more we'll post it here or on the blog.

What a difference one win can make. Since the Canucks last played the Bruins at Rogers Arena on June 15th of last year, the Boston Bruins had the summer of their lives. Parades, parties and accolades went their way, as it should for the Stanley Cup champions. The Canucks, on the other hand, have had just about everything about them questioned (their goaltender, their toughness, their...

Did you miss the Minnesota Wild vs. Vancouver Canucks game tonight? We’ve got the highlights for you. A pretty dull game played by both, and in the end the Canucks grabbed themselves a 3-0 shutout victory. Roberto Luongo turned aside all 28 shots he faced in his 700th career NHL regular-season game. Daniel Sedin collected a goal and an assist, Alex Burrows and Manny Malhotra also scored.

The Bruins host the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday in one of the most anticipated games of the NHL season to this point. A Stanley Cup rematch that very much will feel like Game 8 of the Finals has no shortage of storylines and everyone is hoping to see something special.

The Canucks are in a bit of a mini slump after dropping their last two games to the Sharks and Kings, but still remain atop the division with 51 points....

(Ed. Note: The following was written by a Canucks fan.) I'm consistently amazed by the lengths people will go to dismiss Henrik and Daniel Sedin. In the last two years, both have won an Art Ross trophy and a league MVP, led the Vancouver Canucks to the Presidents' Trophy and taken them to a Stanley Cup Final. Now, for the third straight year, both are at the top of the NHL...

While the overall performance of the Northwest Division-leading Vancouver Canucks hasn't left much to be desired, coach Alain Vigneault voiced displeasure with his team's recent efforts on the power play. Those scuffles, though, pale in comparison to the Minnesota Wild's struggles of late. Hoping to avoid a 10th defeat in 11 games overall, the Wild look to snap a nine...
