Rob’s Big Canucks Coaching Candidates List
The search to replace AV is now more than two weeks old and judging by the rumblings from insiders like Jason Botchford from the Province, the list of candidates is starting to become a little bit clearer. It sounds like Mike Gillis may take his time with this hiring, and will be interviewing a bunch of people.
So who may be in the running? Mike Gillis confirmed that he has interviewed...
Cory Schneider Talks Goalie Equipment
from Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province,
“It’s kind of a running joke that everyone thinks goalies are too good because their gear is too big,” said the Vancouver Canucks starter, part of a five-member NHL Players’ Association contingent that met with one owner, three general managers and a coach at the NHL office. “When you look at it, in 2000 the average goalie...
Visors could be mandatory in NHL
New NHL players might soon be forced to wear visors, and the rest might join that group in the not too distant future.
The league's competition committee recommended on Tuesday that visors be mandatory for all players entering the league, beginning next season. The group also suggested that hybrid icing be tested during the 2013-14 preseason, as were shallower nets.
Any changes...
NHL-NHLPA Competition Committee to discuss hybrid icing, visors and goalie gear on Tuesday
If you recall the result of the NHL's general managers' meetings in March--suggestions that the league should adopt "hybrid icing," that it should tweak goaltending equipment to lower thigh rises and slim knee protectoin, and that it should grandfather in mandatory visor use? Or how the NHLPA reponded with a de-facto, "Hmm, we should talk about this" level...
Canucks GM: Luongo return 'unlikely'
Roberto Luongo may finally get his wish.
The veteran goalie has wanted out of Vancouver since Cory Schneider usurped him as the primary starter late last season, and he didn't change his mind after both goalies looked shaky in an opening-round sweep at the hands of the Sharks.
"I feel like I am in a stage of my life where I want to play," Luongo said during his exit...
They’re just not good enough: Canucks get swept by San Jose
It was one of the most disappointing first round series in Canucks history and not just for obvious reasons. The Canucks didn’t lose to the Sharks because of a bad bounce (of which there were a few) or bad penalties (of which there were lots). No, they lost because they weren’t good enough. This was not an aberration, it was a revelation. The Canucks aren’t as good as many...
Vancouver heads home, has numerous questions to address
The Vancouver Canucks were swept out of the playoffs by the San Jose Sharks, earning the unfortunate distinction of being the first team sent home from the 2013 postseason. The Sharks completed the sweep with a 4-3 win in OT on Tuesday night, earning the squad a spot in the second round.
Vancouver's season ends almost exactly as it began with fans questioning the team's...

Keep Luongo, Trade Schneider
from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal,
Agree whole-heartedly with the under-current around the Vancouver Canucks’ shocking playoff ouster to the San Jose Sharks in four games: trade goalie Cory Schneider and keep Roberto Luongo in net, and try to rebuild on the fly. You’ll get stocking stuffers for Luongo with the $40.6 million left on his contract; you’ll get a couple...
Goaltending not the issue for Vancouver Canucks
As it stands now, the Vancouver Canucks will likely be the first team eliminated from the 2013 NHL playoffs. I would not be surprised if the San Jose Sharks complete the series sweep tonight. The focal point in Vancouver has been the goaltending duo of Cory Schneider and Roberto Luongo. However, goaltending not is he issue for Vancouver Canucks.
Vancouver's primary problem...
Canucks Are Done
from Cam Cole of the Vancouver Sun,
Cory Schneider's "body injury" has healed. His other wounds, apparently not.
And worst of all, his goal-scoring drought continues.
Schneider, re-inserted as the starting goalie for Game 3 by coach Alain Vigneault for no other reason than because he thought it was the right thing to do, was lit up for three early third...
Sharks manhandle Schneider, Canucks
Joe Pavelski and Logan Couture each scored twice to spoil Cory Schneider's return to the nets for Vancouver and the San Jose Sharks won their third straight game to open the playoffs, beating the Canucks 5-2 on Sunday night.
Pavelski scored the first two goals and Couture and Patrick Marleau added scores 9 seconds apart to break the game open early in the third period and give...
Schneider Will Start In Goal For Vancouver
Vancouver down 0-2 to San Jose, will start Cory Schneider in goal tonight.
No matter who is in goal for the Canucks, they need more from their top players to get back into this series.
Vigneault - "Cory's playing. He's good to go. Goaltending hasn't been the issue, but prior to his injury, he was real good." #Canucks

Cory Schneider out, Vancouver Canucks in peril
The Vancouver Canucks appear to be lagging. Since the playoffs are underway, this is not good.They didn’t show much fight during their 3-1 loss to San Jose in Game 1 of their series. It didn’t help that No. 1 goaltender Cory Schneider was sidelined by what the team calls a “body” injury. Schneider will miss Game 2, too. But what about his big-name teammates? Will they show...
Cam Gore: Luongo will get the start
The word in Vancouver is that Roberto Luongo will get the start in game one of the Western Conference quarter finals against the San Jose Sharks.
Cory Schneider has been the number one goalie for the Canucks starting thirty games this year. Schneider missed the last two games of the season with a lower body injury.
Luongo was shelled for seven goals in the final game of the season again...

Playoff Time! Sharks vs Canucks 1st Round Preview
One year ago, the San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings played each other in the final game of the regular season and the Sharks won 3-2, giving the Canucks the Kings in round 1. This year, the opposite happened. The Kings beat the Sharks in their final game (by the same 3-2 score) to give San Jose to the Canucks.
It remains to be seen if the Canucks get a better match-up this...
The real 2012-13 NWSB Canucks Year-end awards
And the award goes to…
There’s probably no disagreeing that the Canucks team awards are a lot nazzyer, or snazzier, than the trophies Juno winners get. However, it’s almost certain the fan choices for these awards differ from one section of Rogers Arena to the next.
Let us appease the devil and be his advocate here.
