Sven Edler!?
In the Vancouver Canucks vs. Columbus Blue Jackets game tonight we saw what might be one of the NHL goals of the year by the Canucks defenseman Alex Edler.
Coast to Coast!
If you listen carefully you can hear former goaltender Kevin Weekes on the CBC Hockey night in Canada broadcast team say “Coast to Coast and Butter on the TOAST!”
The goal put the Canucks up...

Jackets perfecting the art of social media
Kudos given to the Columbus Blue Jackets organization for its efforts in the digital space this painful season rarely comes without a name attached to it.

A new chapter may have just been added to the Columbus Blue Jackets’ season.
According to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, Jackets general manager Scott Howson is more interested in selecting Filip Forsberg first overall and not Nail Yakupov. From Garrioch:
Apparently, if Columbus GM Scott Howson is still employed by the Jackets come draft day, he plans to use the No. 1 pick to...

Pure hypothetical and meant to be fun
Say the Canucks go out in the first round. They limp out like they're playing now to some team like Phoenix or Colorado or maybe a sleeping giant like Los Angeles or San Jose. Or even worse, Calgary harnesses the hate that spews like oil in the tarsands in Alberta (I know it doesn't actually "spew" there) and Vancouver...

Canucks look to snap funk…again
It is pretty hard to be a Canucks fan these days and it is hard to predict outcomes of games that they should be winning but just aren’t. Vancouver will try to avoid a three game losing streak on Saturday night when they host the worst team in the NHL – the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Columbus Blue Jackets (22-41-7) at Vancouver Canucks (42-20-8...

Kevin Bieksa, Sit Down
Over twitter today, I came across a ProHockeyTalk post on Bieksa calling out quiet Canucks fans.The original quotes from Bieksa come from Ed Willies' article in The Province. Do read his article in full but here are the quotes:
“I love the Jets and their fan-base,” Kevin Bieksa said before last night’s meeting with the Phoenix Coyotes.
“To see them come in here and...
Game 71: Columbus Blue Jackets Thoughts
Before the start of every season, my ticket holder buddies and I get together to split up our pack of Canucks tickets. Everyone has their favorite teams they want to watch so the first few rounds of picks go fast and then you get stuck with the tickets no one wants. Sometimes the games picked last end up being good games to watch (Carolina a few years ago after that long losing streak...
Blue Jackets topped by Canucks
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) -- Daniel Sedin scored two goals and the Vancouver Canucks edged the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-3 on Saturday night.
Sedin scored the winner on a third-period power play as he scooped the rebound of his own tip-in attempt behind Steve Mason. The goal gave the Canucks a 4-2 lead that was cut by a shot off a faceoff win by James Wisniewski, the Columbus...

CBJ Post game thoughts and guess the actor
Let's start off by saying that Rogers arena was reallllly drunk last night, it a fun, often hilarious way. I'm not sure I've ever heard a section of fans yell "shoot" at the team as much as I heard last night. Or saw two guys in my section on separate occasions fall up the stairs spilling their beer all over the stairs which is a terrible waste of $8 beer, and...
Blue Jackets-Canucks Preview
The Vancouver Canucks may be inching closer to clinching their fourth straight Northwest Division title, but they're enduring their worst stretch of the season.
Hosting the NHL-worst Columbus Blue Jackets, who haven't beaten them in regulation in more than two years, could help the Canucks start to turn things around.
They look to avoid their first three-game losing streak...

When the Vancouver Canucks came to Boston for their first match-up against the Boston Bruins since falling to the Black-and-Gold in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, there was no doubting the notion that the Canucks were a mere hunk of particleboard positioned towards an eight-spoked buzzsaw. Boston entered that matinee affair a staggering 8-1-0 in their previous nine, outscoring...
