Canucks vs. Bruins: The Stanley Cup Final Preview

With the Stanley Cup Finals set to begin on Wednesday, June 1 at The Garage, Vancouver has a distinct advantage over Boston in two areas: their power play and overall team speed. So far in these playoffs, Boston's power play is clicking at a paltry 8.2% (5-for-61) compared to Vancouver's 28.3% (17-for-60) efficiency. Boston scored 0 goals in their first-round series against Montreal, 2 goals against Philly in Round 2, and 3 goals in their schizophrenic series against Tampa. And if you've seen m

Seattle re-introduced

After a couple seasons of constant chatter about relocation and expansion/contraction, the real meat in this matter comes forth. Instead of debating the pros and cons about the support in a city and if it is big enough to hold onto the club long-term, the city of Seattle becomes a player. I've long thought the Emerald City should have another team that could participate for Lord Stanley's chalice. The only real hang-up is the lack of an arena. There are plans in place tenatively for a venue c

Puck Luck & The Promised Land

If I could’ve been anywhere last night when Kesler — hobbling à la Kirk Gibson — tipped home Henrik’s wrister with 13.2 seconds left in the third, and when Bieksa slapped a ground ball past Niemi for the double-OT winner, it would have been wherever Tom Larscheid was. As each goal went in, I couldn’t help but wish Tommy and Shorty were calling the game. You just know Tommy would have been going ballistic on the air. And once he settled down, he would have told you about puck luck and how you’ve

Number Crunching: Playoff Stats Pack updated after Round 3

Below are the updated numbers through the first three rounds of the playoffs.

CCC - Clay's Canucks Commentary for May 24 2011: Off to the Stanley Cup Finals

The Vancouver Canucks are off to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1994! The Canucks advanced to the finals with a thrilling 3-2 double overtime victory over the San Jose Sharks, winning the series 4 games to 1. In this CCC, I include a bunch of footage from both inside and outside of Rogers Arena from game 5: -raw footage of Kevin Bieksa's strange game-winning goal and the euphoria that erupted afterwards -Henrik Sedin accepting (but not touching) the Clarence Campbell B

Canucks Gameday: No Time Like The Present

If you're a pool player, you know that your first shot on the 8-ball is usually your best chance to finish the game. It may not be an easy shot, but it somehow gets harder to sink if you miss that first opportunity to put your opponent away. As the Canucks head into Game 5 against the Sharks, it's the third straight series they've had the chance to wrap things up on home ice. While there's no need to dwell on Round 1, the breakdown against the Hawks began with a lacklustre effort in Game 4 that

Match opening just 41 seconds,when Brian Rafalski of Team USA fired a slap shot that steered Canadian star Sidney Crosby's ball arm and from Canadian goalkeeper Martin Brodeur's side bounced over. On Eric Staal's shot the Canadians evened the game on a goal nearly 9 minutes into the ending of the contest. The capacity let the crowd roared approval and the stadium announcer was still making the details of Staal's goal when Rafalski scored again. Canada evened the game in the 2nd p

The Power-Play Floodgates

What a nightmare game for a coach. Not to mention fans. What were the refs doing in the opening minute after Tanner Glass lined up opposite Jamie McGinn? Both just itching to whistle Glass for something…following him around…warning him not to do it…and then nailing him for some chintzy check—for which they picked 'tripping' out of a hat. It set a tone of zero tolerance. And from that point on, the refs interfered with the game, rather than calling it as it came their way. McGinn, we rec

Sharks Squeak Back Into Series

The Sharks began game 3 like a team possessed. They put the Canucks on their heels from the opening faceoff and won puck battles all over the ice. Their top 6 forwards played like the players that they are. Even goalie Antti Niemi was spectacular when he needed to be. Add to that the fact that the Canucks were average at best in their own end for the first 40 minutes and that the refs followed Gary Bettman's orders (allegedly) and gave the Sharks 10 PP's. On top of all that Ehrhoff got injured l

Canucks Gameday: Into the Shark Tank

Before we get into the Sharks' collective morale heading into Game 3 and the perception that Roberto Luongo plays poorly in the Shark Tank, let's remind ourselves that the voracious man-eating tendency of sharks is largely mythical, just like Luongo's fear of playing in San Jose. The shark myth began with Jaws back in 1975, which cast the great white shark as an evil beast hell-bent on consuming human flesh. And ever since then, sharks have become the most feared animal on the planet. But the re
