30 Teams In 30 Days–Vancouver Canucks
The Canucks got the short end of the stick in the playoffs. The shortest end possible to say the least. Vancouver won the Northwest Division and was promptly broomed out of the playoffs by San Jose. That quick exit led to the firing of coach Alain Vigneault and what smells like regime change in Vancouver.
Team Name: Vancouver Canucks
Record: 26-15-7, 1st in Northwest, Lost 4-0 to...
Would Tortorella Be A Fit In Vancouver?
from Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province,
With Tortorella you might get Vigneault 2.0 with a heavy reliance on great goaltending, good defence and a struggle to score goals. The Rangers were 10th in offence and 23rd on the power play during the regular season and a paltry 4-for-44 on the power play in the playoffs. But you also get a snap to attention from a guy who guided the...

Major changes loom for Canucks
Major changes loom after the Vancouver Canucks, who came within a victory of winning the Stanley Cup two years ago, bowed out early for the second consecutive spring.
Management is trying to figure out what went wrong in the playoffs for a team that viewed itself as a strong contender, but never approached its target. Instead, the Canucks were swept by San Jose in the opening round...
In sin bin, Canucks defenseman Kevin Bieksa ridiculed by Sharks fans (video)
The San Jose Sharks mercifully ended the season for the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night, completing the series sweep courtesy of a 4-3 overtime victory in front of the hometown fans at HP Pavilion. And while the game was not without controversy — a controversial boarding penalty called on Daniel Sedin (his brother Henrik called the penalty “bulls**t”) led to Patrick Marleau’s...

Before I get into things, I have to address something that a certain blogger, who only shows up when his teams wins wrote.

Sharks sweep Canucks with 4-3 win in OT

Marleau scored a power-play goal 13:18 into overtime and the Sharks completed their first playoff sweep in franchise history, beating the Vancouver Canucks 4-3 on Tuesday night.
Now instead of facing questions about their playoff fortitude like they did...
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 like to go head first into the pool
Known around the league as "The Dive Team", "Divers", "P*ssies", "Panzies" and any other name you could call them, this is the Vancouver Canucks. Whenever the team in blue and green steps on the ice, you can guarantee a few dives here and there throughout the game.
The most infamous Canucks' forwards are Ryan Kesler, Alex Burrows, Maxim...
Same Old Canucks
from Tony Gallagher of the Vancouver Province,
If this game was an indication of all the Sedins have to give at this point, the Canucks’ window to win a Cup has closed faster than a big door in -40 degree weather at an old folks home.
Invisibility hardly begins to describe their performance but they were hardly alone. Let’s put it this way, when Raymond is you’re best...
Canucks lose game 1 to the Sharks 3-1
Canucks lose game 1 to the Sharks 3-1.
Raffi on Corrado. SMACK. It was that kind of night.
It started out well, but went downhill fast in the third. The Canucks struck first, but gave up three straight goals in a 3-1 loss Wednesday night in Game 1.
After a scoreless first period in which San Jose outshot Vancouver 15-9, the Canucks got on the board at 12:26 of the second...

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.

Duncan Keith gets annoyed with a female reporter following loss

Duncan Keith comment to female reporter
The internet is buzzing over Duncan Keith's comments to Vancouver sports radio reporter Karen Thompson.
The Vancouver Sun, who obviously has a bit of a pro-Canucks (and inherently anti-Blackhawks) bias, made it sound like Keith told Thompson to get back in the kitchen and let the men talk hockey. Greg Wyshynski of Yahoo Sports has a more measured take. Cathal Kelly of the...
Duncan Keith Takes Sexism Heat After Feisty Exchange With Female Reporter
Duncan Keith was understandably disappointed by the Blackhawks 3-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks last night. After the third Canucks goal, Keith slashed the back of Daniel Sedin, a blatant penalty that somehow went undetected by the refs.
Karen Thomson, a female reporter for Team 1040 in Vancouver asked Keith about the unpenalized slash, clearly striking a nerve with him and causing...
