AND AGAIN WE CRY "HAVOC" AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR......

I don't know about y'all, but as short and disappointing as this summer has been, it is with renewed hope and inspiration that we return to the freezing cold bowels of Rogers Arena, and continue the quest to climb the mountain that is LORD STANLEY. As difficult as it was to lose in 7 games, looking back, it was a tremendous honor to be a part of the run, and i'm sure someday we'll look back fondly. there were numerous fantastic moments..... I still have most of the games on PVR - i was wa

CCC - Clay's Canucks Commentary for September 22: Pre-Season Preview

Welcome to the first CCC of the 2011-12 NHL season. I start of this CCC but commenting on the backlash I got from some of playoff CCC's last year. Nothing wrong with friendly discussion and debate, but there is something wrong with insulting my ethnicity, looks, and sexual orientation. As we look forward to the start of the opening season in 2 weeks, I take a look at the battles shaping up for both the forwards and defence. In particular, I express my hopes that Keith Ballard has a great

Getting to Know Canucks Draft Pick Alexandre Grenier

Alexandre Grenier Selected by Vancouver Canucks round 3 #90 overall 2011 NHL Entry Draft By Ian Esplen Over the past few weeks I have exchanged emails with Canucks draft pick Alexandre Grenie. I am very happy Mike Gillis choose him in this years draft. I am very impressed with him as a hockey player, but more so impressed with him as a person. He is a quality person who has exceptional character and strong family values. I think he will be wearing a Canucks jersey a whole lot sooner th

Bye Hoff.

I like Christian Ehrhoff as the next Canucks fan. Too see him leave it sucks, he was a 50 pt defense man and a hard one to replace. According to rumors he wanted a lot of money, like 5.5. But in Vancouver he is only worth 4-4.5M. He wasn't going to make more than our arguably number 1 defense man. He was reportedly offered 4.6 to match Kevin's contract, but apparently turned it down. After that his chances of staying in VAN dramatically declined. Christian Ehrhoff's rights were traded to the NYI

My thoughts on the season...

What an amazing season we've had! President's trophy, rakeing in the awards, one win away from the cup...It's been a season to remember! One win from the cup! Sadly, we came up short one game, but what some people realize, is that we made it to the Finals with the least amount of goals in the playoffs. And that a series can change in an instant. One second, you've got a lead of the series 3-0, and the next second, you're going into a seventh game. Look at all the teams we've beaten to get t

2010-2011 Season, one I will ALWAYS remember

Hello Fellow Canuck Fans! As I am writing this the NHL draft has begun and so to has an end come to the 2010-2011 season. But it was definitely a YEAR to remember as a Canuck fan. I know it didn't end the way most people expected. And I don't know about you, BUT I did not prepare myself in any way for the loss of game 7. I will admit I really thought it would go differently. But it didn't and that's just the way it is. Despite the devastating loss, it was a year that I will never forget. Not b

Seriously....................

Seriously...............................for those people who doesn't appreciate what our team had accomplished, well you should BE PROUD. In the first round i'm sure everyone was afraid that we were going to be eliminated by the hawks for the fourth time, and say that did happen......that would of have been worst than the great lost over bruins i mean seriously..........OPEN UP YOUR EYES!!!! AND MAN UP!!!!!! like one fan said " were just fans, imagine how those players felt" c'mon seriously peop

CCC - Clay's Canucks Commentary for June 19, 2011: Looking Back at an Amazing Season

In my final regularly-scheduled CCC for the 2010-2011 season, I look back at a truly amazing season for the Vancouver Canucks: a season that ended with a disappointing and bitter defeat to the Boston Bruins, ending the Canucks' hopes for their first Stanley Cup in their 40-year history. I include a lot of footage from after the game, including the presentation of the Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe Trophies, the merciless booing of Gary Bettman, and the loud ovation for hometown-boy Milan Lucic.

Finals

This 7 game final for the CUP was the strangest CUP FINALS I have EVER experienced in over 30 years of watching! It was like watching a completely different teams when on the road (Boston) and when at home, it was odd. In the regular season we scored the most goals and had the least goals against. We also had the best PP and our PK was in the top 3 of the whole league. In the finals for the cup (not counting the 7th game) we had scored a total of 8 goals - 5 at home and 3 on the road, and we

2011 playoffs

The biggest lesson of this playoffs is the difficulty of winning that 4th win in the best of 7 series. We seemed to get better at it as the playoffs continued, beating the Blackhawks in 7 games, beating Predators in 6 games, and then the Sharks in 5 games. It looked like we started to understand the difficulty of that 4th win. I thought for sure we would take Bruins in 4 games, maybe 5 if we lost one in Boston. What happened....Tim Thomas!

Let's be honest

All i can say is that Go Cancuks Go. Canucks did a great job and as your fan, I want to thank you for an awesome blasting year. Win or Lose, you left everyone with great memories. On behalf of your great fans, we would like to apologize of what happened after a great lost. Like you said "those weren't the real canucks fan". Having said these, let's be honest. First off, let's man up and accept the biggest upset. Real men get back up, work hard to improve and come back the next time. I'm sure tha

2011 season

Following the Canucks for over 30 years this last season has been the most exciting and the most rewarding. Winning the President's Cup and being the best team in the League was something I never thought I would see. Ending the season with a good cushion over the red-wings and the sharks was truly awesome. It has been decades where most of my friends and family have told me that the Canucks will never make it to the playoffs. It was truly a year of justification in being a true fan. Having Da

Intro

I have been a follower of the Canucks since the mid 70s and have always enjoyed the review of the games and the seasons and now will be able to blog them here. I know it is easy to critize after the fact but it is what being a FAN is all about. I may critique players and coaches but they are from a position of frustration when we lose. Patience with a player or a system is difficult when one is losing and is easier when winning. I will be posting on the season and the lovely play-offs shortly.

Appreciation

I wanted to thank the team, the staff and organization around the Canucks for an incredible season. At this point many of you may still feel frustration for the ending, but I hope in time you will be able to look back on this season with pride. You gave your fans a great ride till the very end. I wish Mason, Mikael, Dan and all of the other players requiring off season treatment a healthy and speedy recovery. I look forward to watching all of you next season. Thank you for entertaining m
