St. Louis Blues forward Ryan Reaves can throw some heavy punches, and Vancouver Canucks forward Aaron Volpatti was on the receiving end of quite a few of those bombs on Sunday night.  Reaves and Volpatti both stand at about 6’1″ 190 lbs and are quite the experienced fighters.  This was their first tilt against one another and they looked like some Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots going at it, landing blow after blow.  Reaves gets the nod in this great fight, despite Volpatti’s take down.

While Reaves is certainly more than just a fighter, he can, and will, oblige...

from Ed Willes of the Vancouver Province,
There are 25 other NHL teams who'd kill to have the Canucks' problems but, for this team, the issue this season is the same as it's been for the last four seasons.
They're good, but are they good enough to win the Stanley Cup?
You know they're close and, this half-season, they've addressed some big areas...

Deep Diss Hockey
The highly anticipated game between the Vancouver Canucks and their rival Chicago Blackhawks earlier this month was tremendously exciting as Vancouver won 2-1 in a shootout but it lacked that physical edge everyone was pining for.
Far from revenge being exacted on Duncan Keith, it was probably the tamest game between the two teams in years in terms of physicality...

Jake Allen makes an amazing save against Calgary's T.J. Brodie
Friday night, Jake Allen was fresh off of his first NHL start and first NHL win, a 4-3 overtime victory against the Detroit Red Wings.
