Stanley Cup Game 4 Recap: The Luongo Question Mark

It's understandable that Vancouver Canuck fans are freaking out a little bit. The team has a 40-year history without conquering Lord Stanley, and after two great games on home ice, we were all dreaming of coming home for Game 5 with either the Stanley Cup or a 3-1 series lead. But now that it's 2-2 and Luongo has looked fragile and the power play has been listless and the momentum has swung in favour of the Bruins, it's no time to jump ship. The series is still there for the taking, and the

The Home Ice Advantage

After jumping out to an early 2-0 series lead on home ice, the Vancouver Canucks return to Vancouver tied after a two game Beantown beating. Roberto Luongo looks on after Rich Peverly opens the scoring in Game 4 It just never comes 'easy' for the Vancouver Canucks. Of course, being that it's the Stanley Cup Finals, one wouldn't expect it should. But at the beginning of the series, it seemed like the Bruins might never get a goal on Roberto Luongo. When Alex Burrows scored

The 'Villains' Look To Regain Control Of Series

If there wasn't a Boston-Vancouver rivalry before, I think it's safe to say we have one now. I find it quite laughable that the Canucks are now looked upon as the bad guys. I realize that most Americans are somewhat new to Hockey, but you don't have to be Scotty Bowman to see what's happening out there on the ice. (To you Americans, he's widely regarded as the Einstein of Hockey, winning several Cups with Montreal and Detroit) The simple fact is that Boston CANNOT win this series unless they tak

Game 3 Recap: The Snowball Effect

Fortunately for the Canucks, they've been down this road before. I'm not sure what it is about this team that sees them spiral so wildly out of control on occasion. But in Games 4 and 5 against Chicago, the Canucks got complacent and then couldn't stop the bleeding. After a 5-0 shutout in Chicago in Game 4, Vancouver returned home for Game 5, only to lay another egg. The 7-2 final was ugly, and you had to wonder how a team that had played so well in building a 3-0 series lead against their nemes

CCC - Clay's Canucks Commentary for June 7, 2011: A Finger-Licking Butt-Kicking (Game 3 Recap)

The Boston Bruins got back into the series with a massive 8-1 thumping of the Vancouver Canucks in game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals. After a scoreless first period, the Bruins scored 4 goals in both the 2nd and 3rd periods on their way to an easy win. Despite Boston coach Claude Julien's claims that the Bruins wouldn't stoop to the Canucks' level (with respect to the finger-biting of game 1 and the finger-taunting in game 2), both Mark Recchi and Milan Lucic seemed intent on having the Canuck

CCC - Clay's Canucks Commentary for June 6, 2011: A Flair for the Dramatic (Alex Burrows)

The Vancouver Canucks have taken a 2 games to zero lead over the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup Finals thanks to a pair of dramatic victories: Raffi Torres scored with 18 seconds left in regulation in game 1, and Alex Burrows scored just 11 seconds into overtime in game 2. I talk a bit about Burrows' game-winning goal, and his knack for providing dramatic game-winners. I also wonder at the post-goal celebration of Henrik and Daniel Sedin. I start the video off with over a minute of foota

'Vancouver Canucks' vs 'Boston Bruins' ... for the Stanley Cup: Comments...

Way to go 'Vancouver Canucks!'  Somewhat stressful watching them play.  Like that style of play, where the Canucks do everything humanly possible, to be all over there opponent. Check the player with the puck, especially in your end. Like to see the Canucks retain control of the puck more often and not draw any penalties.  Love to see the 'Canucks' win every game.  Don't let up 'Vancouver Canucks', play with the same intensity throughtout...

Canucks Game Day: Vigneault’s Juggling Act

Traditional wisdom suggests you don’t mess with a good thing, but Vigneault never seems to get blinded by superstition. Take tonight’s Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, for example. Vancouver beat Boston 1-0 in the opener of the Stanley Cup Final. It was a solid defensive performance, and his troops took control of the game when it mattered most in the 3rd. The Canucks were rewarded for dictating play with a clutch goal in the dying seconds from Raffi Torres — the lone Canuck (other than the inju

Game 1 Recap: Canucks 1, Bruins 0

For the first half of Game 1 in the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals, the parade to the penalty box seemed like it would never end. Maybe the players were a little jumpy, and maybe the refs were too. Sure, you can't argue with the high-sticks. And Burrows deserved the extra two minutes at the end of the 1st. But the goalie interference penalty to deny Vancouver its 2nd-period 5-on-3 was a terrible call, and there were a few others that were pretty chintzy. Like a couple games in the Sharks' series, the r

Let's write some history, Vancouver!

Yeah, it's kind of hard to sit in Germany while Vancouver is going nuts in a positive way, but I cannot change that (even if somebody gave me two thousand Dollars, I wouldn't have the time to come over now, so thank you ). Still, I am anticipating tonight's game one versus the Bruins with joy and also a little bit of "angst". Let's make no mistake about it: If all goes well, we should beat them in less than seven games, but you never know... I kind of compare our current situation with the

CCC - Clay's Canucks Commentary for June 1, 2011: Canucks Vs. Bruins - It All Comes Down to This

Finally, it's here: the Vancouver Canucks vs. the Boston Bruins in the NHL's Stanley Cup Finals. In this CCC, I quickly reflect on my child-hood memories of following the Canucks, and remembering the exciting runs of 1982 and 1994. However, this year seems different. It feels different. We expect to win. Boston will be a formidable opponent, but I don't think the Canucks can be denied this year. It's time to win the Cup. For die-hard Canucks fans, this is what we live for. htt

Manny's Back!

The unbelievable news of Manny Malhotra’s return to the Canucks’ lineup will be a major x-factor in the Stanley Cup Finals. When you listen to him deal with the media, the guy oozes class, professionalism, and positivity. In the two-and-a-half months since his injury, he has dealt with two major eye operations and faced the fear that his hockey career was potentially over and that his vision may never fully recover. Despite the gravity of the injury, Malhotra remained directly involved with
