Opmac's Hockey Report

No problems with the lines

After blowing a 2-0 lead against the Los Angeles Kings in Game 2, many Canucks fans are calling for the lines to be changed up, Michael Grabner be inserted into the top-six, or Pavol Demitra to be scratched. I beg to differ, I have full confidence in the first, second, and third Canucks lines. The Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin, and Alex Burrows line's track record since January 2009 speaks for itself. The Pavol Demitra, Ryan Kesler, and Mikael Samuelsson line has potential to succeed. You hav

Playoff Number Crunching XVIII: Welcome to Roswell 1947

This week's inaugural playoff edition of Number Crunching explores the statistical oddities from the first week of action in the NHL post-season and looks into the wacky tacky officiating from the first two games of the Canucks/Kings series that leads us to wonder out loud if in fact the NHL really does have a bias against the Canucks.

SALMON KINGS THIS WEEK----CHRONICLES OF THE BOOSTER CLUB 09-10 AND THE 24 HOUR RELAY

Last Monday, in a series where the winning goal was not scored until the last minute, the 2009-10 Salmon Kings season ended in Bakersfield. Throughout the season the team and its ECHL opponents displayed the speed and skill of the pro game. A big thank you for all this is due to the entire Salmon Kings organization. For those players, who for reasons of opportunity, may move elsewhere, the best of luck with your hockey futures. It was an interesting season for the Victoria Salmon Kings B

Canucks Looked Good, But It Ain't Done Yet

<img src="http://canucknation.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/vanlos32_thumb.jpg" class="imageFloatLeftFramed">If the rest of the series goes the way that last night's game did, this has the potential to be the most exciting series in the first round of this year's playoffs. As badly as the Canucks outshot the Kings, it didn't feel like the Canucks weren't making the most of their chances. This wasn't a matter of having a wide open net and shooting it wide. Jonathan Quick played pretty well

CCC: Clay's Canucks Commentary for April 16...How to Pass the (Intermission) Time before Overtime

In the April 16th edition of Clay's Canucks Commentary (actually filmed on the evening of April 15), I have a few words about the Canucks dramatic and exciting 3-2 win over the Kings, thanks to Mikael Samuelsson's overtime winner. I enlist the help of my son Sean and daughter Kayla (my other son Jacob was sound asleep at the time of filming) to help me ask today's important question: How did you pass the time during the intermission between the end of the 3rd period and the start of overtime

Canucks Kings Game 1 thoughts

Apologies in advance to Bill Simmons. Got caught up in rush hour traffic, was late for the game so instead of meeting my friends at the bar, decided to do a running diary of the Canucks first playoff game of 2010. Random thoughts from the first period: Caught the end of the Caps / Habs game. I guess Ovie is Russian for “laid an egg” Anze Kopitar – aka “the only professional athlete in LA not named Sam Cassell to not have groupies” I hereby name thee, Michael “No”

Flames 3 - 7 Canucks F - Game 82 - 04.10.10 Back in April 2008, when the Canucks and Flames met in the final game of the regular season, Calgary dominated that game 7 to 1. It also happened to be Trevor Linden's final game in the NHL and many Canuck fans did not appreciate the final result. Last Saturday the Canucks had a chance to return the favor in-front of a national crowd. Prior to the game, rumors had it that Jarome Iginla was playing his final game as a Calgary Flame. If true, th

Playoff Predictions

It's that time of year again... the best time of the year! And of course, like every year, I make my predictions. Usually I'm pretty good, but this year I think the West is completely wide open. I think there's a potential for upset in every single series. I'm cheating a little bit here because the first games have been played, but (swear to God!) I made these picks before the games.

Meet The Kings!

The Canucks are meeting the LA Kings in the first round of the NHL playoffs. Since we’re going to be seeing a lot of LA, I figure I’d go and take the time to provide a primer for Canucks fans who may not be 100% up to date on the Kings. Think of this comprehensive, all-inclusive guide as your ‘cheat sheet’ to the Los Angeles Kings. Forwards Dustin Brown – 34 years old, Brown hails from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH4tci3JG-E.

No Need To Worry About Luongo

All I’ve heard since the weekend is that the Canucks are in trouble with suspect goaltending. Really? Maybe Luongo hasn’t been as good as he was in his first year, but he’s hardly had a bad year. The guy got 40 wins this year. Except for his first season as a Canuck (47 wins in 2006-07), this was his most productive year. 5th in the league in wins. Has he been stellar down the stretch? No, he hasn’t. Does this automatically signal an early exit from the playoffs? Hardly. Sure the defense

Postseason Predictions: The Fickle Art of Prognostication

My inaugural blog has to deal with hockey, right? I'm not a Canucks fan by trade...my real fandom lies with Atlanta. I adopted this team when my girlfriend adopted me. She's seen the two Cup runs, as well as living and dying on every movement of the puck this decade. She loves the team through and through. She's seen the ups, and she's seen the downs. In our time together, we've seen the Canucks beat Dallas and St. Louis, and fallen to the Blackhawks and Ducks in memorable fashion. But

Number Crunching XVII: Super Sedin and Super Stats Pack

It's celebration week for Number Crunching as we, along with the rest of Canucks Nation, congratulate Henrik Sedin for becoming the first ever Vancouver Canuck to capture the Art Ross Trophy as the NHL's leading point scorer. In honour of Henrik's achievement, we crunch the numbers on some Art Ross history and make a case for why Hank is better than Sid and Ovie. And as a wrap-up to the regular season, we present the Number Crunching Super Stats Pack. TODAY THE ART ROSS, TOMORROW THE WORLD?

That`s All Folks!

Well we have reached that bitter sweet time of the year again. The 7-3 win in game #82 tonight tells me that I am soon to be stuck watching classic series on ESPN just to get my hockey fix in the summer. Lets not get ahead of ourselves though, we still have the upcoming post season that feels different this year for some reason. Calgary doesnt make the cut for the first time since 2003. Colorado, who was in serious rebuild mode this year just squeaks in. Detroit was sitting in ninth with two wee
