There Will Be Blood: Canucks-Blues Game 3 Preview
GAME TIME: 4:00 PM PST (Yankee finally gets his rest!) TV: CBC THE EVER-FEISTY, SLEEPLESS ENEMY: St. Louis Game Time After the fiasco at the end of Game 2, this one promises to be another violent affair. Or does it? The refs put their whistles away mostly in Game 2 (especially in the first) and...
Luongo in Ottawa
Among the things that crazy-man Mike Keenan has done (and there are oh-so many!), the most lopsided was probably trading Roberto Luongo and Lukas Krajicek to Vancouver for Todd Bertuzzi, Alex Auld, Bryan Allen and a draft pick.Now, this, from James Duthie's column on TSN.ca:John Muckler kicked...
Canucks 5, Stars 2
Just like against San Jose on Saturday, the Stars got the start they wanted. They outshot and outhustled the Canucks.

So I go golfing for a good chunk of the day and then I hear that the Canucks have signed Cody Hodgson to an entry level contract and Roberto Luongo has had a "C" painted on his mask.Right now I am actually watching the Canucks-Ducks game which is streaming live on Canucks.com. No problems getting...
Luongod leads shutout poll and earns player of the week
Yeah, it has been a hell of a 3-game ride for the Canucks, with Luongo recording shutouts in every game. The team plays better in front of him more consistently right around the same time and bingo bango bongo. Luongo will attribute a lot of his success to his teammates in front of him, but let's...
11 years ago yesterday...Iron Mike arrived and raised hell!
The headlines read: "KEENAN LANDS ON THE MARK SORRY VANCOUVER ADDS MIKE TO MESS".Then-Canucks coach Tom "Mr. Positivity" Renney was fired and replaced by Iron Mike Keenan. The Canucks came limping out of the gate in the 1997-98 season with a 4-13-3 record when Keenan took over.Most Canucks fans...
