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.

Canucks blue line breakdown: defensive depth an issue?
Quick Question…
Has the absence of Kevin Bieksa exposed Vancouver’s blue line imbalance?
Mike Gillis has always been a big believer in acquiring a wealth of defensive talent. Since his start with the Vancouver Canucks, Gillis has preached a dogma of depth and foresight, accounting for injuries and other bad luck as a season grinds on. The off-season acquisition of Jason Garrison...
2014 Olympics: Van City snubbed for Sochi
A roster of Canadians but no Canucks
Lists are great. Nothing sparks more debate than someone publishing a list. But when you create of list of hockey talent, well that’s just an invite for the most heated argument on Canadian soil.
One year away from the 2014 Sochi Olympics and TSN pundit Ray Ferraro has unveiled his list, his dream team, of hopeful Canadians that should wear...
6 down 42 to go! Canucks 2013 overachievers and underachievers
Best & Worst Nucks
It may be an unusual season in terms of length in this post-lockout world, but aside from that it’s yet another year and yet another slow start for the Vancouver Canucks.
However, unless the uncertain tangle the team is in gets unravelled mighty quick this year could be done and dusted. The middling start for the team matches the indifferent performance of...
Klein Adjusting to Yet Another Defensive Partner
Kevin Klein is a little bit like the bingo free square.
Since making the leap to the NHL full-time in 2008, the Predators defenseman has played with a number of defensive partners – notably Francis Bouillon, Dan Hamhuis and Roman Josi.
At the start of the 2013 season, Klein has yet another defensive partner – veteran defenseman Scott Hannan.
Hannan, a veteran of over 900 NHL...
NWSB Kevin weighs in! 2013 Vancouver Canucks staff predictions
Hockey is here again
This year’s Vancouver Canucks are very similar to the team we witnessed fall to the LA Kings last April. While the lockout has changed the landscape of the 2013 season significantly, the core personnel in Vancouver remain the same.
My predictions this season are on the conservative side due to the uncertainty at play, but know I’m sure to look like a fool...

Canucks Lack Of Depth Beginning To Show
from Ed Willes of the Vancouver Province,
Four years into the Gillis era, the Canucks are still built around players inherited from Brian Burke and Dave Nonis and the question can reasonably be asked, has he done enough to strengthen the team’s core?
Prior to this season, that wasn’t an issue because the Sedins-Luongo-Kesler-Edler-Bieksa-Burrows nexus didn’t need a...
NWSB Richard weighs in! 2013 Vancouver Canucks staff predictions
Picks Time
I can’t decide where the Canucks go this season.
They’re the two-time reigning President’s Trophy champions and they have all that high-end talent and Roberto Luongo could return something very nice but this feels like a trap year.
The Canucks aren’t quick starters, and overcoming an October surprise in January with Ryan Kesler out could be impossible in a very...

Nashville Predators all-time roster
It is hard to believe the Nashville Predators organization has been around for thirteen seasons stretching from the first drop of the puck in their inaugural game at the Gaylord Entertainment Center against the Florida Panthers on October 10, 1998, to defeating the Detroit Red Wings in five games in Western Conference Quarterfinals at the Bridgestone Arena and eventually losing to...

Why Some Of The AHL Depth Players Remain Unsigned
from of the Democrat and Chronicle, The NHL parent teams don’t want to sign more depth players for their AHL teams because, if there is a lockout, they need roster spots for their young players.
