With the chance to win the series on home ice for the first time since 2011, the Canucks couldn’t find a way to close out the pesky Preds on Tuesday night. It was a much better effort from the team – especially the first 20 minutes that they dominated – but a couple untimely and questionable p...
After a tightly contested game five loss, the Canucks and Preds are back in Nashville for tonight's pivotal game six. Win and move on for the good guy, lose and it’s a flight back to Vancouver for a winner-take-all matchup on Sunday. It’s understandable if the boys are a bit tight, a little nerv...
And just like that the boys are over the hump and on to round two. Befitting the series, game six was a tight-checking hard-fought affair that could have gone either way. This time, it went the Canucks’ way, and so they take a celebratory plane ride back to Vancouver to host the Oilers for the nex...
And away we go! After a longer layoff between series, the puck drops tonight in Vancouver as the Canucks host the Oilers in round two. The Oilers were one of the preseason favourites to win the Cup, the Canucks were thought of as a bubble team at best. But just like Vancouver’s dominance over Edmo...
What. A. Game. The Canucks took their punches early, falling behind 4-1 to the Oilers through some back bounces and sloppy play. But as the game progressed, the Canucks took over more and more and scored four straight goals en route to a 5-4 victory to claim game one in the second round. If you...
After an amazing come-from-behind win over the Oilers on Wednesday night, it’s back to business for the Canucks. This team has been carrying a new mentality with it since Tocchet took over last year, and it’s one of determination, self-belief, and consistency. Even as people are writing them off...
You knew it was coming. After their collapse in game one, Edmonton was going to come out hard, led by none other than one of the best players in the game. McDavid and co. took full advantage of the Canucks’ sheepish play in game two, and tied the series up at one. If you want, here are your highli...
We have a series. After trading wins in Vancouver, the series shifts back to Edmonton for tonight’s game three matchup. Game one was an improbable comeback for Vancouver. Game two was McDavid putting the team on his back. There’s been some big time performances and offensive forays so far th...
While the shot clock might have looked a bit lopsided, the Canucks did what they needed to and stayed perfect on the road these playoffs with a 4-3 win in Edmonton last night. If you missed the game, here are the highlights: The boys played well through two, and took a 4-2 lead heading into t...
It’s next man up mentality for the Vancouver Canucks. After the league came down and handed Soucy a one game suspension for his cross check on MacDavid, the team is comfortable relying on their depth as they’ve had to do throughout the season. “We’ve been doing it all year,” Tocchet sai...
The Canucks dropped their opportunity to take a commanding series lead out of Edmonton by not really showing up to play. They rallied from a 2-0 hole late in the game, only to have some costly mistakes lose them the game in the dying seconds. It’s a best of three now as the series shifts back to V...
Second round. Best of three. Home ice advantage. If you posed that to the Canucks and their fans before the season began, they’d have gladly taken it. And so, here we are! Tonight the puck drops on game five against the Oilers, and the winner is going to take a chance to close out the series back...
The Canucks brought their A-game Thursday night at home in front of a raucous crowd and dominated for most of the game 5 win. Chants of “Let’s go Petey!” and “JT Miller!” rang down from the seats as the boys were tireless in their effort to push the Oilers to the brink. It was another tigh...
I’m writing this a bit earlier as I’m heading to Prague to catch the Hockey World Championship this weekend. Which also means tomorrow’s post-game blog might be a little… hungover. The Canucks lead the Oilers 3-2 heading into tonight’s tilt: a chance to close out the Oilers at home. Th...
