Last night, was a classic example as to why Vancouver should just stick to playing hockey and not bully their opponents. For the first 40 minutes, the Canucks tried to play the bully role, while Calgary played hockey. The Canucks truculence was led by Andrew...

What's up with Chris Tanev?
They called him up for one game, sent him back, and now what? It's strange. For a guy who played 29 regular season games and five playoff games with tremendous poise, the Canucks really haven't been keen on giving him a look this year. Tanev has the ability to play the transition game the Canucks are built upon that Aaron Rome or Andrew Alberts or especially Alex Sulzer don...

Alberts in, Tanev to sit
Veteran Andrew Alberts will make his season debut Wednesday for the Vancouver Canucks when he’s penciled into the lineup in place of sophomore blue-liner Chris Tanev.

Game 3 – Andrew Alberts’ Time
Let’s go Kings! Bring on Andrew Alberts. After spending 17 minutes and 32 seconds on the ice over the first two games, Alberts spent an enormous 23 minutes in the box. Seriously, that’s some crazy good hockey going on over there. With any luck, Aaron Rome (his likely replacement) still won’t be able to go, [...]

Alberts does 'business' with Canes
Andrew Alberts was hoping to stay with the Philadelphia Flyers and sign a new contract. The big defenseman was coming off a season in which he set career highs for games (79), points (13) and plus-minus (plus-6).
And then the Flyers brought in Chris Pronger in the mega trade with the Anaheim Ducks. That was pretty much that.
