Vancouver Canucks

Three Stars: 1) Devin Dubnyk. 35 saves, at times, he looked like the only Oiler that cared about the game 2)Henrik Sedin. 1 goal, 1 assist to continue his domination of the Oilers. 3) Daniel Sedin. 2 assists, proved that he can pass too. It was plodding, it was slow, and at times, it was downright boring; but hey, 2 points is 2 points. The Canucks absolutely dominated the hometown Oilers, out shooting them 37-11, and winning 2-1. Alex Burrows continued his strong play with a goal, and Henrik Sedin also scored. The game started interestingly enough, as Burrows cashed in after a beautiful setup by the Sedin Twins. All he really had to do was tap the puck into an empty net and rai...

Three Stars: 1) Ryan Kesler. Two goals, one assist, most dominant Canuck on the ice 2) Christian Ehrhoff: 2 assists before leaving game with injury 3) Teemu Selanne: Dangerous all night, 1 goal, 1 assist for 40 year old. It was tense, nerve wracking, and when it was all over, cheers echoed through the rafters in Rogers Arena. Ryan Kesler scored two goals, including the game tying mark with 21.6 seconds left, and the Cancks stole two points from the Ducks, winning 5-4 in a shootout. The game was far from beautiful, but it was deliciously entertaining. Corey Perry, starting to become very disliked in Vancouver, had the opening tally on the Powerplay, and the Ducks looke...

If your reading this on a flat screen monitor the technology used to make it was discovered in 1979 thanks to Sven Torbjörn Lagerwall, all three are from Sweden. When compiling a list of Swedish born hockey players past and present who have graced the ice in a Canucks jersey, most people would include such names as Thomas Gradin, Mattias Ohlund, Markus Naslund, Mikael Samuelsson and of course the omnipresent Sedin twins. Alex E...

They were sluggish, slow footed and the second best team at Rogers Arena Sunday night, and the Canucks fell to the St. Louis Blues by a score of 3-2. Vancouver seemingly had all the advantages coming in; St Louis was dreadful on the road, were coming into tonight on a five game losing streak, Andy McDonald was injured, along with David Perron and TJ Oshie, and Jaroslav Halak had fallen back to earth after a phenomenal start. Instead of jumping all over the Blues, the Canucks couldn't keep up with them. Granted, the Canucks were missing Mason Raymond due to the flu, but still, the Blues didn't have more skill than the Canucks tonight, they simply outworked the Canucks, something that ...
