OVERTIME GOAL TO REMEMBER---OLVIER LATENDRESSE

<img src="http://cdn.nhl.com/canucks/images/upload/2010/01/Latendresse.gif" class="imageFloatRightFramed"> On the southwest corner of the Island of Montreal sits the bourough named after the French explorer LaSalle. Olivier Latendresse was born there on Feb 12, 1986. Until junior hockey, he was a linemate with his brother Guillaume (formerly with the Montreal Canadiens now with the Minnesota Wild.) Along with future San Jose Shark Torrey Mitchell, the Latendress siblings helped their R

Canucks mid-season report card, Part I

As the Vancouver Canucks reach the midway point of the 2009/10 schedule, here is a reflection to date of the individual top 11 performers for the club, in my humble opinion. Willie Mitchell, B Willie Mitchell hits Zach Stortini, -has been taking the body with more authority this season (AP Photo / The Canadian Press, Darryl Dyck) Willie Mitchell came to Vancouver touted as a shut-down defender.

ONE NIGHT--YET A TALE OF TWO GAMES

<img src="http://cdn.nhl.com/canucks/images/upload/2007/07/salmonprospects.jpg" class="imageFloatRightFramed">Little did the largest announced crowd of the season know when they laid down their hard earned money, that they would be getting two games for the price of one. Sloppy defensive play by the home Victoria Salmon Kings was feasted on by the visiting Alaska Aces. Just past the mid point of the first period, Alexandre Imbeault scored to give him a pure hat trick. His second marker

People are having fun with it, so what's the big deal? The Canucks game presentation folks recently came up with a new goal celebration, with a recorded "Woo!" being played after every Canucks goal and the fans then repeat the recording.

ALASKA FACES A GOAL RUSH

<img src="http://cdn.nhl.com/canucks/images/upload/2007/07/salmonprospects.jpg" class="imageFloatRightFramed">In the first minute of last nights (Dec 27) home game against the visitors from Anchorage, Coach Morrison had rolled all three of his lines and two of his defense pairs. This came about when, by the 37 second mark, the Salmon Kings had scored twice, within the minuscule span of eight seconds.

Ryan Johnson placed on injured reserve – What does this mean for Grabner?

This brings the Canucks active roster down from the maximum of 23 to 22 players. With Johnson on injured reserve, this will enable the Canucks to call-up a forward from the

The Showdown

Identical 4-1 wins over Nashville and Edmonton have suddenly vaulted the Canucks to eighth place, finally in the playoff picture at the turn of the new year. A win over Calgary means Vancouver would be second in the division and four points away from first place Colorado, who are 7-3-0 in their last ten and despite a young and somewhat less talented roster have managed to cling onto the division lead halfway through the season. I had the opportunity to take in both games (from the lower bowl!

'Twas three nights before Christmas...

...and all through the Garage, not a Predator was stirring, not even Marcel Goc... There were several UH candidates, which was nice. I'm tempted to pick Wellwood who made a nice play on the opening goal and was more noticeable than he's been almost all season -- I actually saw some battle in his game tonight. But if I picked Kyle it would be based on low expectations (or no expectations), as much as anything else. I also liked Burrows again tonight. On top of his usual aggressive, gritty play

For those who have not read or seen the video of Roch Carrier's wonderful story, "The Sweater", this is a perfect time of the year to do so. It reminds me of the request my brother and I made during the days of "the original six." Both of us requested Leafs shirts, but they were sold out, and under the tree my brother got a Montreal shirt while I received a Rangers shirt.
