Moving On - SEP.10.07

I’m exhausted and elated. I knew I had a good day today, but I really didn’t know what the coaches were seeing. I got the word I was moving on to main camp as soon as we finished dryland training. What can I say about that? I know it’s a cliché, but it truly is

Moving to Step Two - SEP.10.07

<table width=90% align=center><tr><td><img src=http://cdn.nhl.com/canucks/images/upload/2007/09/raymond_blog.jpg border=0 align=left vspace=3 hspace=4>It’s been a long week but I’m happy to get the four days out of the way and happy to go to main camp on Thursday. The prospects camp is a good warm-up to the main camp and I’m excited for that. I feel like I’ve accomplished one step on the way to where I want to be and main camp is just step two. Coming into this camp,

I’ve been trying to brew up a topic for the past hour and I’m still drawing a blank. Of course NFL Sunday and the final game of the Summit Series isn’t helping my focus much. I guess I should start off by talking abo

The Colwood Crawl - SEP.08.07

I’ll admit, I completely forgot about the Colwood Crawl, but I’m from Saanich and I never have to deal with that. I went to Claremont, so it was just straight back-and-forth to Saanich for me. Easy drive.

The anxiety isn’t there as much so I’m able to show who I am more as a player and hopefully get the attention of the guys upstairs. It’s only the second day in Victoria and it’s

I set the alarm for 7:05, but it was one of those nights where you’re rolling around because you’re worried about sleeping through it. I think I finally rolled out about 7:15. It was fairly quiet at breakfast this morning. Everyone was on the sh

The Deeper They Go...

<img src=http://cdn.nhl.com/canucks/images/upload/2007/07/hendersonblog.gif align=left hspace=4> I always say “the deeper they go in the playoffs, the better the jerseys look”. And the sweater they are wearing when they finally win the Cup? Well, that one will be cherished as the most beautiful garment imaginable. Men will get married in that jersey.<br><br> Only in hockey-mad Vancouver would so many fans turn up on a warm and sunny summer afternoon to get first gander at w

Can't Hardly Wait

<img src=http://cdn.nhl.com/canucks/images/upload/2007/07/hendersonblog.gif align=left hspace=4>WHEW! It was incredibly difficult to believe that the Canucks organization would ever make such a spectacular misstep. Screwing over perhaps your most beloved player once is bad enough, but twice? Unthinkable! Thank heavens we have dodged that bullet. I was pretty sure that Dave Nonis was far too canny to allow it to happen, but years spent following the Canucks can encourage a fan to brace

Another Lazy Summer... Except for Dave

Making matters worse, we fans didn’t get a huge trade to keep us fat, happy and talking until the first leaf drops in the fall either. That's not to say Sir Dave Nonis, while his counterparts drunkenly emptied their wallets at the start of free agency, hasn’t been a busy guy this offseason

STREAKS AND CONCIDENCES

For the second time in three games, the Victoria Salmon Kings have won a game in a shootout by the identical 3-2 score. This time the victory came in a rink that has often frustrated Salmon Kings fortunes. Randall Gelech would open the scoring and in the second Chad Painchaud made it 2-0. Shortly after captain Wes Goldie missed on a breakway, the puck ended up on Aces captain Scott Burt's stick. Burt then send the puck flying into the Victoria net. With the Aces third line buzzing, they created

Deadmau5 vs. U2

I think it is time that the intro song for the Canucks was changed. Sorry but here in Vancouver our streets do have names as U2 would otherwise have us believe! I have found a track that would not only pump up the players but the fans as well. Check out this link on You Tube and lets get the new song pumping in GM Place! This little clip took all of 10minutes to throw together but I think it shows that the track playing would be alot more adrenaline boosting then U2's sleepy, old song! Yes/No

Team USA: What About Zack Bogosian?

When Team USA announced their roster at the end of the Winter Classic, I could have bet money that Zack Bogosian of the Thrashers would have been on the team. Luckily I didn't because Burke made a mistake by not including him in his National roster. Insted of Bogo, Burke picked the likes of Jack Johnson, Erik Johnson, Brain Rafalski, and Ryan Suter, all of whom were obvious choices to make the squad. What surprised me the most was the other 3 Dmen taken: Brooks Orpik, Paul Martin, and Mike Komis

BLIZZARD HITS ANCHORAGE

Weather patterns were reveresed on the second night of the new decade as a howling blizzard started near Victoria and roared into Cook Inlet. It raced through downtown Anchorage and reached its peak right over Sullivan Arena. Until a warm wind blew in from the Aleutian Islands near the end of the game, the Aces were floundering, with the Salmon Kings swamping them with six unanswered goals. Two goals for the Anchorage team at the end made it a 6-2 final for the Salmon Kings. Randall Gelech led
Westy's Countdown to 40

#10 - Trevor Linden Returns to Vancouver

Happy new year everybody, and welcome. This coming October the Vancouver Canucks will begin their 40th season in the NHL. Given that there are 10 months left until October, I figured it was only appropriate to count down the months with an ever-popular top ten list. With one blog a month, I will be posting my top ten Canuck moments and memories. Things to keep in mind: 1) This is in my opinion, and mine only. You don't have to agree, nor do I expect most of you to. 2) I was born in 1

Canucks midseason report card, Part II

The Vancouver Canucks have hit the midway point in their quest for hockey's holy grail, Lord Stanley's Cup, - here are 5 more players with the top grades so far this season. Christian Ehrhoff, A Ehrhoff nods while celebrating his OT winner against the St. Louis Blues Dec. 31/09 Even after registering 15 points in his first 13 games with the Canucks, "B-Mac" from Team 1040 (radio) still wasn't sold on Christian's defensive abilities.
