How refreshing is to to see hockey played with emotion allowed, when one team isn't afraid of saying something or doing anything to provoke the referees wrath? Watching the finals of Boston, Chicago is refreshing to watch. Two American teams with equal history, Bettman's dream come true. Is it mere chance though, that have brought these two teams together or the orchestration of hard work from the NHL finally paying dividends?
Sadly, for the last two post-seasons the Canucks have been
Sorry not sure where to post this. I hope canucks camp comes up with a new towel power color. White is for surrender (I know the history and with all due respect to Mr.Neilson). Please change the color to blue or green or maybe a mix of the two.

i know this is a bit off topic, but wouldn't it been true class and canadian heart if iginla accepted a trade to the sens, both alfredsson and iginla have been captain of their canadian teams for years, both have brought their teams to the stanley cup finals only to come short in the end, now that both their careers are winding down, i would of loved to see iginla help push the sens to the cup, and try to bring the stanley cup back to canada, yes unfortunatly he wasnt able to bring it the flames

Hey guys.
So tonight (vs. Nashville) we're going to fly a new attempt at a goal song.
Over the past almost 2 seasons, we've been using "Electric Worry" by Clutch. This song certainly is original (we're the only pro sports team using it) and it was met with some initial mixed feelings, yet has caught on rather well.
That said, and as I said back when we started playing it, it is good, but perhaps not the BE ALL AND END ALL of goal songs.
So keep your ears peeled tonight, and let me k

Ryan Kesler may be injured for the remainder of the regular season. The trade market for Roberto Luongo has dried up as relative unknowns such as Ben Bishop and Ben Scrivens have performed at or above levels of the former Hart Trophy nominee across the NHL. Despite all the doom and gloom that surrounds the Vancouver Canucks, specifically from a vocal segment of their fan base, they remain at the top of their division which they can expect to win handily for the fifth consecutive year.

Trials and tribulations in the pacific northwest

It was never going to be easy.
But you can’t blame anyone for feeling as if the Canucks have the worst kind of luck these days.
After a lengthy and tumultuous lockout that killed half of the 2013 NHL season, the excitement over the return of hockey has squandered into frustration and anxiety for Vancouver fans.
With the season now nearing the halfway point, the Canuc
Who really was (or is) the best Canuck of all time?
I started to do some research and thought I would put together a list of information for you.
You can decide by posting down at the bottom.
Let me start you with this...
Did you know that Todd Bertuzzi had a higher points per game average in his Canucks career than his buddy Markus Naslund? Does that make you think differently about how good Burtuzzi was here?
In 884 games, Naslund had 756 points. A pace of 0.86 points per gam
Well we are five games into this shortage season and the critics, bashers and non believers are out in full force once again. I sometimes am baffled that these people can post on the actual Canucks site. Sure, the Canucks aren't 5-0 like some of their competing rivals, but is it really that big of a deal? We move into LA tonight facing a team that hasn't won at home yet and has a worse record than the Canucks. For some that may not know! LA are the Stanley Cup Champs. For a team that didn't hav
As a Canucks fan, I find today’s matchup against the Calgary Flames a terrifying prospect.
Both teams come into this northwest division undercard tilt as so-far disappointments – moreso Vancouver considering their (topical) two-term President’s trophies – that really need a win to salvage their reputations as television entertainment. Given a cage match between the two opponents, I see Vancouver as a bruised tactician on their stepping-stone, gimme fight against a schizophrenic swing-for-the-
For my first Clay’s Canucks Composition of 2013, I assembled four of the most talented Canucks fans around to put together a song to mark the start of the shortened 2013 season. Thus, I’m thrilled to present to you Season of Cup (based on Seasons of Love from RENT).
You’ll likely recognize most of the singers in this fun video. Marie Hui helped me with my Canucks Medley in November 2011 while Arielle Tuliao and I got together for Don’t Stop Believing back in April for the Canucks’ playoff ru
Hey guys, this is my first post of the season previewing my take on what'll happen before camp. You can read the full version with links and pictures on my blog @ Hash Mark Hax. Otherwise, here's simply the text.
Had I been told last January I’d be preparing a season preview in the next, I wouldn’t have believed it. Or maybe I would’ve, who knows, the lockout’s ruined time and space for a lot of people. Thankfully, with the new CBA impending ratification (a word I assume means Gary Bettman ha
For this special edition of Clay's Canucks Commentary, I pull a few friends together for the 3rd annual Canucks Christmas Carol.
Once again I am joined by my friends Joe, Oggy, Jason, Pat and the foreign exchange student Kevin. Kevin came all the way from overseas to watch some hockey but he gets something else instead.
Last year we put together the Bieber-inspired "
and in 2011 we did the "12 Days of Christmas".
For this year, we do our version of the classic "This Christmas". Mer
If I was Mike Gillis and the season starts Jan 1st with a 48 game schedule, there are a few moves i would and wouldn't make
1. I would not trade Luongo, at least not yet. With a 48 game schedule it will be condensed with teams playing 3-4 times per week and a good goalie tandem is needed to stay on top of the league. If Gillis were to trade Luongo now his value would be low because of him being pulled in the playoffs, but if Luongo is able to regain form and have a good regular season again h

Mayonnaise Jar & Two Beers...
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed
