Sometimes it pays to have connections, huh? I just recieved 2 tickets to the Canucks and Flames game on March 30th, free of charge. I am taking my wife to her first ever NHL game. They are box tickets on the Executive Level at good ol' GM Place. I've never sat higher than about...

Yesterday turned out to be Super Sunday for the Vancouver Canucks. -Dallas (who we aren't going to catch anyway) beats Colorado 3-0. Apparently Forsberg missed the game with a groin injury...Foppa's fragility continues.-San Jose (who we also are not going to catch) beats Minnesota...
No suspensions for Tootoo or Bieksa
April 21, 2008 by
Waiting for Stanley
| Comments
Strange ruling by the NHL today in regards to the shenanigans late in the game between the Canucks and Predators last night. Kevin Bieksa instigated the fight between himself and Greg DeVries within the last 5 minutes of the game. That is supposed to warrant a 1 game suspension. Today...

Canucks-Avs Preview = Hangman Extreme

Waiting for Stanley
| Comments
I just can't bring myself to doing a pregame post for the Avalanche and Canucks tonight. I don't quite trust that the Canucks will win tonight, even though they HAVE TO. But the Avs probably won't have Forsberg back yet (oh wait, yes they will), and Ryan Smyth's head...

Mason Raymond out for a month
April 20, 2008 by
Waiting for Stanley
| Comments
Keith Ballard's knee-on-knee hit on Mason Raymond last night has damaged Mason's MCL. He will miss 1 month of action and should be ready if the Canucks make the playoffs. The clip and the pic show it was a knee-on-knee hit, but I think it was quite unintentional by Ballard...

I didn't even watch the 7-1 drubbing by the Flames last night as I entered a poker tournament instead, with the game on in the background. Ha, I finished 4th out of 18. Seeing the score of the game, I'm glad I missed it.I have to agree with Rogene from the site Real Tech Solutions...

Good News! David Suzuki says we can watch the hockey game tonight at 8pm. No need to turn off those televisions, enviro-loons*! But be sure to watch in the dark, to do your part to fight climate change**Mercifully the Canucks do not play tonight. It's tough to blog about the team...

Another game, another ass-kicking administered by the Bruins. This is what a playoff-ready team looks like, and this is how a playoff-ready team performs.Being a bandwagon fan is so much fun. You can switch loyalties at the drop of a hat, and not feel guilty about it at all!We'...

Some interesting pieces from the Province lately, the first being about Kevin Bieksa explaining how and why it's taking time for him to adjust after returning from injury. "I remember talking to Alain [coach Vigneault] and he said: 'It's not the same kind of game when...
Canucks Dice and Ice: The Rookies Dance Competition
April 02, 2008 by
Waiting for Stanley
| Comments
This is a couple months old, but if you haven't seen it yet then here you go. Markus Naslund gets 4 of the Canucks' rookies to come on stage (except Ryan Shannon, who had just scored that beauty shootout goal) and gets them to dance and hopefully humiliate themselves. Unfortunately...

Waiting for Stanley
| Comments
Tonight's the big night for Zanstorm, as he skytrains his candy-ass to GM Place to watch the Canucks face the Calgary Flames. Clearly it is "Go-Time" for the Canucks. Depending on how the Preds fare against the Wings (in an essentially meaningless game for Detroit), a...
Canucks-Blue Jackets Preview
March 31, 2008 by
Waiting for Stanley
| Comments
Columbus now stands in the Canucks' way as far as Vancouver putting some distance between themselves and the 9th spot Nashville Predators. The Preds have actually lost 3 in a row, including an 8-4 drubbing to the Sabres a couple days ago. Is Nashville going to slide out of contention...
Return of the Living Naslund: Canucks beat Dallas 4-3

Waiting for Stanley

What a game against Dallas today: a mind-numbing 4-3 win by Vancouver. I will just make a couple points about this one.- Vigneault separated the Twins and seemed to get 2 results: more inspired play by both and a lot less anxiety in their game. It didn't translate on the scoreboard...

The Florida Panthers granted Chad Kilger a personal leave of absence when he was traded to them by the Leafs at the trade deadline. Unfortunately, Kilger's personal time has expired and he has not reported back to his team. As a result, the Panthers have suspended him without pay...

The Canucks cruise into Anaheim tonight to take on a Duck team that is already favored to win the Stanley Cup. Given the Canucks' current 3-game winning streak and their domination of Anaheim this year (3 wins in 3 games and outscoring them 9-3), I'm sure the Canucks don'...
Are the Canucks Contenders?
March 20, 2008 by
Waiting for Stanley

It's very difficult to believe that this Canucks squad has even a small chance of being a contender this year. It's getting hard to believe that they will even make the playoffs. Blown 3rd period leads to go along with losing to lowly Columbus and Chicago recently provide obvious...

Canucks kick the Hell out of Clawless Predators 6-2

Waiting for Stanley

5 goals scored in the first 6:21 of the game...madness. The Canucks jumped to 2 goal leads only to have Luongo choke, allowing 2 goals and putting the Preds within 1 goal TWICE. But then the game settled down....for the Canucks not Nashville. The Preds looked uncharacteristically sluggish...
Canucks must rebound tonight against the Coyotes

But rebounding against the Coyotes will not be an easy task. Phoenix is fighting hard for a playoff spot and is 5 points out of 8th. Coach Gretzky recently said: "We're battling for our lives now, we know that…We know we have our work cut out for us, but we're not...
