  1. It's a magical day in our history We need that magic to happen again A Vegas win and a Canucks win
  2. Things that make you go hmmmmmn! Rescheduled, however, both games became the second nights of back-to-back games. Those can be difficult for any team but they have particularly plagued the Canucks this season, winning just 3 of the 12 games on the second half of back-to-backs. The games against the Islanders and Senators were among those nine losses.
  3. Luke Schenn for the Masterton, well deserved!
  4. Whether that was redemSchenn or retaliaSchenn, what Luke just did deserves our appreciaSchenn! You don't cheap shot Huggy!
  5. Latest numbers for Sportsnet 650 are huge https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/sportsnet-650-sports-radio-ratings-up?__vfz=medium%3Dsharebar The smiles coming out of the Sportsnet 650 studios have been big since the latest ratings book was released. With TSN gone, the morning show numbers jumped to a 3.5 share during the spring ratings period. Fast-forward to the 2022 winter ratings book and Sportsnet 650 captured a 6.9 share, with Halford and Brough having moved from TSN to Sportsnet after 1040’s demise. Elsewhere, the midday slot from 10 am to 3 pm — comprised of The Jeff Marek Show, the Canucks Hour with Jamie Dodd and Thomas Drance, and The People’s Show, hosted by Bik Nizzar and Randip Janda — has a 4.9 share. One year ago, Sportsnet was sitting at 2.7 in that time slot. Much like the morning show, much of the midday programming was tweaked leading into this book. The afternoon time frame, which now includes a portion of The People’s Show, but is mainly comprised of Canucks Central with Satiar Shah and Dan Riccio, saw a massive spike in ratings, up to 7.1 from 1.7 a year ago. It also boasted some Canucks radio broadcasts during the ratings cycle.
  6. By next season he should pass Markstrom
  7. No conformation, but this is conclusive to me The puck is clearly behind goalies right skate over the line with 1 full second left on the 1st penalty IMHO, we got jobbed again and Boudreau knew it
  8. Strange time for a story like this to surface! https://5aial.com/nhl-senators-games-in-quebec/ (Quebec) It’s still preliminary. But discussions have begun and involve the Legault government, the National Hockey League, Quebecor and the Ottawa Senators so that this team presents five games at the Videotron Center in Quebec City next season. On the sidelines of these talks, in Quebec, we have the feeling of walking on eggshells; a premature announcement is likely to raise questions from Senators fans and their sponsors, it is warned. Especially against the backdrop of the death of club owner Eugene Melnyk on Monday. But according to the sources of The Press, it was Gary Bettman who himself put forward such a scenario during his virtual meeting with the Quebec Minister of Finance, Eric Girard, in mid-January. And he seemed convinced that it would be done without too many obstacles, we confide. During the meeting, the great financier of the Legault government asked Mr. Bettman what could be done to demonstrate that Quebec City is a market for the NHL. The commissioner of the League then raised the idea of presenting a few matches of a team’s season. Subsequently, the NHL presented a scenario to Quebec to verify its interest in hosting five Senators games. The financial package is “in preparation”, but not finished, it is specified. The Senators would obviously demand a fee to give up these five games on the quarantine presented at home in season. The figure would not yet be decided, it seems. The Legault government could be invited to contribute, but we see for him rather another avenue.
  9. LTIR loopholes? Discussed at the GM meetings in Florida. But Gary Bettman downplayed it as a big deal. “Nobody in that room [of NHL GMs] believes that it’s being abused. I think it’s the perception.”
  10. Good Morning Canucks fans! Another massive must win for the Canucks last evening!! On to STL Blues tomorrow As long as we have Demko, We will always have a chance!
  11. 3 out of 4 points on the road back to back nights against Colorado and Overtime in Minnesota the next night after landing in Minny at 3:00AM and at their hotel at 4:00AM. Horrible biased Officiating in both games and allowing Minny's goons free reign. On to Dallas on Saturday
  12. Richardson logged 15:25 min.(3:25PK) in his Canucks season debut and went 5 for 8 in the circle for a tidy 63%
  13. Quite possibly the best they have played this season!!! Great WIN!!!
