  1. CKNW aired every Canucks game on radio from their inaugural season in 1970 to 2006, before losing the rights to Team 1040. Rogers-owned Sportsnet 650 has held the Canucks radio rights since 2017, but that deal is set to expire at the end of the 2021-22 season. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/cknw-serious-look-canucks-radio-rights?__vfz=medium%3Dsharebar
  2. Yes lock it down so the anti-vaxers can't infect the anti-vaxers OR Proof of Vax to enter establishments
  3. I would like to see those numbers broken down to Vaxed and non-vaxed cases It might open up some eyes to people getting vaxed
  4. He has rocketed up the coaching food chain! So happy for him! I wonder what kind of $$$ he signed for My guess would be $250K/ X 3? The HC is making $1.7M X3 https://www.capfriendly.com/coaches
  5. I feel much better about the Poolman signing after reading this
  6. Things that make you go Hmmmmm! Ethan Bear couldn't handle the online toxic Oiler fans
  7. With the Canuck history of the #88 in Vancouver, Any new player should think twice about taking that number! Tryamkin then Gaudette and then Schmidt It just doesn't have a good track record
  8. Baertschi to Vegas https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2021/07/vegas-golden-knights-sign-sven-baertschi.html
  9. It was said that Schmidt waived his NTC to WPG after talking to Paul Stastny from their playing days together in Vegas. Stastny just re-signed with the Jets
  10. Micheal Ferland: “It’s a tough decision for me, but no, I don’t think I’ll play professionally ever again. Definitely no contact ever again, I need to take care of myself.”
  11. OEL + Garland contract = $12M Louii, Beagle and Rousell = $12M
  12. Holtby's time in Vancouver was not good (to say the least) Right from border crossing turtles and the mask fiasco, To the icy staredown of JT Miller on a bad backcheck leading to a 4th goal Best to move on
  13. If they are going to buy out Holtby, He has to go on waivers today in order to do it Buying out Holtby would cost the Canucks $500,000 on the cap next season (for cap savings of $3.8 million), while costing the team $1.9 million on the cap in 2022-23.
  14. Fantastic interview with Goalie whisperer Ian Clark on what he thinks of Aku Koskenvuo Do yourself a favour and read this full article! ‘We can teach technique in a weekend’: Ian Clark on why the Canucks are so high on prospect Aku Koskenvuo https://canucksarmy.com/2021/07/25/teach-technique-weekend-ian-clark-canucks-high-aku-koskenvuo/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter “My philosophy when it comes to a goalie’s order of assets is eyes are number one, feet are number two, and hands are number three,” said Clark. “Those are your top three assets. But for me, there are all kinds of things that I think Aku can add to his game structurally, and those are all things that we excel in from the standpoint of mentorship, and he will get all those things.” The fact that the on-ice results haven’t been there for Koskenvuo yet doesn’t deter Clark. In fact, it actually entices him even more. “I actually like goalies that have structural imperfections because it forces them at a young age to develop the instinctive side of the game. If a goalie is very highly programmed, early on in their career, they almost are limited in their exposure to instinctive moments.” “I characterize these goalies that have maybe some structural things that they need to improve as wild horses,” added Clark. “They have all these incredible intangible assets that are geared to the goaltending position if you’re looking at natural athletic ability. I’m not talking about his trained athletic ability, I’m talking about his natural athletic abilities. He is a 10 out of 10. Whether that’s his anatomical size, whether that’s his ability to lengthen — his elasticity — all of this stuff is a 10 out of 10, dimensional.”
