Hotstove Tonight crew dishes coaching scoops
The CBC's Hotstove Tonight crew dropped a gaggle of coaching scoops on Saturday evening, with Glenn Healy, Elliotte Friedman, P.J. Stock and Kevin Weekes stating that:
The Edmonton Oilers will probably hire Dallas Eakins as their coach in no small part, according to Healy, that the Canucks' cap situation and on-the-move farm team affiliations scared Eakins off, and Patrick...

Corsi Number Gets No Love
from Bruce Dowbiggin at the Globe and Mail,
You have to admire Elliotte Friedman of Hockey Night In Canada. The man tries. Like Galileo attempting to get the Catholic Church onside, Friedman is singlehandedly trying to drag HNIC’s high priests into a hockey renaissance.
During one of Saturday’s segments, Friedman bravely resurrected the Corsi Number, a metric that measures...
He, Is Iginla
from Elliotte Friedman of CBC,
Let's do this interview-style:
Q: Is he available?
A: Depends on who you are. Right now, he will only consider an elite group of teams with high Stanley Cup aspirations. The Flames would like him to expand that list because it increases their chances of a better return. Would St. Louis, for example, want in on this possibility? But...

Bad Review For Hockey Night in Canada Crew
from Allan Muir of Sports Illustrated,
A couple months from now, we all may be applauding Hockey Night In Canada’s producers for the patience they showed while allowing the new five-man panel to work through some early growing pains. But hey, we might be raving about Lance Armstrong’s appointment as the head of WADA too, right?
If the group–host Ron MacLean, and...
Ducks vs. Canucks: Not exactly home cooking was it?
Game On
Well that was underwhelming.
After all the hype and build up, the Canucks first game of the year was absolutely the worst case scenario.
It gets better (I hope).
Here we go with the love ‘em & hate ‘em!
Love ‘Em
1. Rick Ball
No Mark Lee. No Kevin Weekes.
Even if Kelly Hrudey wasn’t the best in the booth, Rick Ball was more than adequate.
Won’t miss those two...

Hockey’s Back! Vancouver Canucks’ five most important games
Sweet Glorious Hockey
It hasn’t fully sunken in yet that Canucks hockey is coming back, and is soon to consume this country in what promises to be a very entertaining 48 game dash to the playoffs.
It’s going to be a silly season. After going so long without the game, it’s returning at double time with a very short training camp and no exhibition games.
We’ve seen the playoff...
Will Jones be 1st black player picked No. 1?
The best teenage hockey player in the U.S. is the son of a Brooklyn Nets assistant coach. He skates for the Portland Winterhawks at the Rose Garden, better known as the home of the Trail Blazers, against whom his father played 18 times during an 11-year NBA career.
He is a triumph for his country's national program and the embattled NHL itself. He learned the game in Denver...

GOING THE DISTANCE
Video: Canucks D goes coast-to-coast for goal
Sven Edler!?
In the Vancouver Canucks vs. Columbus Blue Jackets game tonight we saw what might be one of the NHL goals of the year by the Canucks defenseman Alex Edler.
Coast to Coast!
If you listen carefully you can hear former goaltender Kevin Weekes on the CBC Hockey night in Canada broadcast team say “Coast to Coast and Butter on the TOAST!”
The goal put the Canucks up...
Nice Milestones! We countdown the Canucks’ Alex Burrows top 14 goals
I’m A Burrliever
Tuesday night against Nashville was the 500th game of Alex Burrows‘ career, all in a Vancouver Canucks uniform.
It’s quite the achievement for the undrafted ball-hockey player who has blown every expectation pinned to him out of the water. When he played his first game for the franchise, no one could have guessed he would one day be a 30 goal scorer and the...
Good In Net
from Kevin Weekes of CBC, Here is a list of NHL teams with solid enough goaltending that I pretty much expect them to stand pat in net at the trade deadline.
1. NEW YORK RANGERS
Henrik Lundqvist: Has been lights out. Two technical adjustments have taken his game to the next level. Have of you detected what they are? I believe Lundqvist is in the race with Evgeni Malkin for the...

from Melissa Hoppert of Slap Shoat at the NY Times, Since joining NHL Network in July after five years at NESN, Kathryn Tappen has become one of the league’s most recognizable faces. Tappen, 30, hosts the nightly highlight show “NHL Tonight” and is a co-host for special events, holding her own among former coaches and players like Barry Melrose and Kevin Weekes.

Lundqvist rules rival
The first day of Henrik Lundqvist’s NHL career was Oct. 5, 2005, when the as yet uncrowned goaltender acted as backup to Kevin Weekes for the Rangers’ opener in Philadelphia, which signified the return of the NHL following the 2004-05 canceled season.
“It was surreal to be part of...

Kevin Weekes on Devils’ Marty Brodeur: Refusal to adapt to changing NHL led to decline
Kevin Weekes, an analyst for CBC Sports and NHL Network, backed up Martin Brodeur with the New Jersey Devils from 2007-09. He also played 11 years in the NHL, so he knows a thing or two about a thing or two when it comes to the changing times of goalies in the League — both in equipment and rules.
