The Real Optimist Prime's Blog

The Official Optimist Prime Blog is a fake.

The Official Optimist Prime's blog, if you will allow for his creative licence, is a total ripoff of my Canucks.com login ID and 'persona' here at the website since April 2007. There does not appear to be any official or even unofficial reason why this guy was allowed to steal my name for blogging on the website. Nor has anyone reached out to me to try to explain anything to me regarding the need to a weekly officially recognized blog using my Login Name and accepted 'persona' by 50,000 plu

Why Wouldn't You Want Forsberg?

Last night it broke that the Canucks are one of two teams (the other being the Rangers) currently interested in acquiring the services of Swede Peter Forsberg. The amusing thing is watching the fans almost unanimously cry out against signing the 36 year old play maker. The thing is when you look at his numbers, injury prone or not, the numbers are so overwhelmingly convincing I don't see why we wouldn't want him a part of this team if we could afford to have him. The center who has 13 NHL sea

Samuelsson: The Swedish Solution

<img src="http://cdn.nhl.com/canucks/images/upload/2009/10/oct28_samuelson_t.jpg" align="left" hspace="8" vspace="2">There was expectation that Samuelsson upon inking a 3 year deal in the off season, was going to be the next Marc Chouinard, or Jan Bulis; the general feeling about him was that he was going to under perform. In fact he's done the complete opposite.<br /><br /> After finding his way onto the Canucks, his 6th NHL team, the Swede has stepped up and led this team off

From Size to Speed

One thing that's been clear this season, is the Canucks are not a bumping and bruising team. Fifteen games into the season they've faced teams that have taken the body to them and they've been horribly out done. With the Canucks looking like an episode of The Biggest Loser coming into the season, a lot of the Canucks forwards lost weight like the new look Wellwood and Bernier, but some of the wrong Canucks also lost weight. The Canucks don't have a lot of grit, but when your grit players are sli

Oh Ryan, My Captain

Justine Galo: CanucksCorner.com November 3, 2009 marked for me, and for many out there, the coming out party of Ryan Kesler. That game against the New York Rangers at GM Place solidifies the letter on this man's chest. Question is: Is it the 'right' letter? We've been seeing the improvement in Ryan's game over the last few years, especially after the Canucks matched a qualifying offer the Philadelphia Flyers made to him in 2006. Ryan Kesler is, as they say in Toronto, "The Straight Goo

Best day ever!

Nothing says best day ever that spending your whole paycheck in one day. The whole day started after i just got my mark back from last weeks psychology mid-term, B-. not too shabby! to celebrate, I decided i would buy a Canucks away jersey at my local Edmonton jersey city. When i got there however, I, like most canuck fans would, jizzed in my pants. On the rack of jerseys lay only three white skate jerseys, the most rare in all of hockey! I bought one without thinking and i am still wearing it a

Going Deep: Part One

In this comprehensive two part article, Aaron Davis explores the depth of your Vancouver Canucks. Part one of this piece looks at those players that we could see on the ice in a Canucks jersey this season. It stands to reason that in an 82 game season, every NHL team will have to deal with top players experiencing a slump or injury. Hockey is a contact sport and arguably the fastest major sport there is so eventually, no matter how hard you try to avoid it, stuff happens. It's in those moment

New York City, Trial by Depletion

Just a quick intro note to say that Game Time is in roughly half an hour for the Rangers game tonight, and I am not feeling this one... Sorry faithful, I do believe in our players, and our depth, but as the old war movie title says, this ones a bridge too far. I really hope they can prove me wrong tonight, that would be amazing, and I intend to watch every moment live. Which is why my introductory blog entry is a short one, I am off to watch and be amazed by my Nucks Resilience as they overco

Irrefutable Frassings

Burrows and Blue

If there was one player the Canucks need to rediscover his offensive game in a big way, especially in light of all the injuries to their forwards, it would be none other than Alex Burrows. The 28-year old, who last season had a breakout campaign with a career-high in goals (28), assists (23), and points (51), isn't off to a terrible start by any means with eight points (3-5-8) in 15 games. However, for a player who last season finished second behind only Daniel Sedin on the team in goal scor

New Forum!

Nice new forum - clean and sleek. Top Injured Canucks missed: 1. Grabner - The surprise of the Canuck rookie crop. Whenever he and his linemates - Kesler and Raymond are on the ice, I feel excited watching them zip around chasing pucks and getting scoring chances. I think Burrows would be the ideal replacement but then who will go chase pucks for Henrik's line? 2. Daniel Sedin - Never ceases to amaze me every time he and his twin uncannily pass the puck to each other to get a good scoring c

How many times have you heard this already? If the playoffs started today Vancouver, San Jose, and Detroit would all miss. Are you kidding me? The most games any team has played is seven and Atlanta has only played three. Colorado and the Rangers are off to great starts but they have played less than one tenth of their season. D

Road Trip thoughts

<img src="http://cdn.nhl.com/canucks/images/upload/2008/10/garrett_sm.jpg" border=0 style="float: left; margin-right: 8px;">The Canucks are coming off a very successful 3-0-1 road trip. They have put themselves in a playoff position and have strung together a dozen games where they got 19 of a possible 24 points. They have beaten elite teams like the Washington Capitals and have beaten some struggling teams like the St. Louis Blues and the Edmonton Oilers without playing down to their

Canucks @ Blue Jackets - Oct.21.08

CANUCKS 0 @ BLUE JACKETS 0 PREGAME Nationwide Arena is the place to be tonight as the Vancouver Canucks are in Columbus to take on the Blue Jackets. It hasn't been roses for either team as of late, both have lost three of their last four games. Someone's slump has to end tonight and should Vancouver bring their A-game to Columbus, they'll certainly come out on top. That is much, much easier said than done, especially with Pavol Demitra, Sami Salo, Darcy Hordichuk and Rick Rypien all out of Van

CANUCKS 2 @ BLACKHAWKS 4 PREGAME The end is near for the Vancouver Canucks. Sunday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks (1-2-2) is Vancouver's (3-2-0) second last on their six-game road trip and in order to get back into the swing of things away from GM Place, they'll need a good effort against the Hawks. After starting the season with back-to-back wins against Calgary, Vancouver has lost two of three, most recently to the Buffalo Sabres on Friday night. The good news for the Canucks is tha

CANUCKS 2 @ SABRES 5 PREGAME The road weary Vancouver Canucks continue their six-game, 11-day road trip tonight at the HSBC Arena in Buffalo as they try to spear the red-hot Sabres. The Canucks (3-1-0) are coming off another impassioned win as they came from behind to upend the Detroit Red Wings last night, 4-3 in overtime, while the Sabres (3-0-0) have yet to allow their opposition to score more than once in a game and are undefeated early on. Buffalo is looking a lot like the 2006-07 edition
