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 see, at age 38, wasn’t of hall of fame caliber but he wasn’t a bust...

One of the players who is rumored to be on the trade block at this year`s deadline is Cory Schneider of the Vancouver Canucks. Vancouver has two strong goalies in Schneider and Roberto Luongo and both would like to be the team`s clear number one goalie. Luongo is signed until 2022 with a $5.33 million salary cap hit. That contract is prohibitive to move. Schneider is signed for...

Get with it, Seattle!
In recent weeks, a money manager from San Francisco named Christopher Hansen has apparently taken a much more serious look at a privately funded multi-purpose arena for the Seattle sports market. The main concern is to attract an NBA franchise back to the North West.
Since arenas are such expensive ventures, there would be a need to fill the proposed venue as...

It was if we were transported back in time. Seeing Mats Sundin standing at center ice at the Air Canada Center receiving the plaudits and admiration of over 19,000 grateful Toronto fans for his great career.....a nice moment for a classy gentlemanâ¦â¦ and then the game began.
Apparently the current edition of the Blue-And-White decided to honor the former captain not only...

With former captain Mats Sundin on hand to have his number 13 raised to the rafters, the former Maple Leaf captain's scoring touch would have come in handy on Saturday as the Montreal Canadiens shutout Toronto 5-0 at the Air Canada Centre.
The Leafs outshot the Habs by a 32-18 margin, but were unable to finish as Carey Price stopped every shot he saw to earn his fourth shutout...

TORONTO (Feb. 10) â There is no debating that the most fortunate aspect of my years covering the Toronto Maple Leafs was being in the professional company of Mats Sundin. His tenure with the Blue and White â and my 14 consecutive seasons following the team, home and away, for The Fan-590 (now Sportsnet-590) â coincided almost precisely; he left the club one year before...

There’s that shootout again…
There was a time when a Vancouver Canucks/Flames game was appointment viewing. If games against the Oilers over the past decade have been defined by speed and skill displays, contests against the Flames have traditionally been trench wars.
The rivalry has waned in recent years as the Flames and Canucks have chased completely different trajectories...
