He’s a Pepper. A Net Pepper. | Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images Demmer’s Gets His 1st Win in Months! It’s a Monday road dinner game we had penciled-in with an indelible marker as a simple, moderately hard fought loss. Other than the Nucks playing pretty good in the 1st, they were outplayed, outshot by the best team in the Cowboy & Western division for the rest of the game. But not outscored. Stars had 18 high danger shots to the 3 High-D Nucks 5-on-5. But the Nucks had Demmers. No JT tho. Or Stillman, who was a victim of Alvin’s larcenous trade moves. The latest Bo-for-Beau trade playe ..read more

James Guillory-USA TODAY Sports Canucks face the Central division leaders on the road. The Canucks played a decent game against Boston...except for a 5 minute period at the end of the first....oh, and letting the goalie score against you. Tonight the Canucks head into Texas to face the Stars, who are a much better team than they were last year. The Nucks had some pretty sweet luck against Dallas last year, as they went 3-0. These two teams get to meet 3 times this year in the span of 4 weeks. The Stars seem to have found their speed and skill again this year and the Nucks will be hard-pressed ..read more

Photo by Glenn James/NHLI via Getty Images The Canucks wrap up the month of February with a visit to Dallas to take on the Stars, before heading home for six straight at Rogers Arena. VANCOUVER CANUCKS (23-31-5) vs DALLAS STARS (31-16-12) 5:30 PM PST AMERICAN AIRLINES CENTER, DALLAS, TX TV: SN PACIFIC, SN ONE. RADIO: SN650 It has such a Canucks kind of month, hasn’t it? Drama, trades, a bucket load of injuries, humbling losses, idiotic managerial moves, February truly encapsulated everything that the Vancouver Canucks are. And naturally, a win will move them to a 4-4-4 record for the month, wh ..read more

Photo by Jeff Vinnick/NHLI via Getty Images We’ll explore what the Canucks might do over the next week, and ponder Tyler Myers immortalizing himself as the greatest tank commander in Canucks history. It’s time for another edition of the Nucks Misconduct Roundtable. We get our writers together and ask them a number of questions about the state of this team we’ve been cursed to follow. Sometimes they play it straight, sometimes it’s Westy and Jimmi, but you’ll always get the unvarnished opinions on the Canucks here. 1. The Canucks are a mere 10 points up on Anaheim and Columbus for last place in ..read more

Pete Doesn’t Score - Nucks Don’t Win | Anne-Marie Sorvin-USA TODAY Sports Good Afternoon Tanker Special Game Not going to mess around with this must lose game. Mission Accomplished. Thanks for reading. No really. Stop reading now. Fine. It was a good loss against the worst team in the NHL. Worst in the sense of the most despised best team in the league. It’s confusing. Not just the starting time. It’s HNIC. Which once had the word Night in it. However, special eastern teams get special privileges from the NHL. Also confusing because the 6th worst team in the league does not need to play the 1s ..read more

Bob Frid-USA TODAY Sports Canucks face the best team in the league in Vancouver 2011 was a long time ago. If my memory was worse, I might have more interest in the season Boston is having. They have only lost 14 times in 57 games. None of those losses are to the Nucks, as the last time these two met the Bruins won. The Canucks are still a below average team that has been able to come back in the last two games and get some points. The conflict is in all of us as this team gets wins at the wrong points of the year. Rick Toochet is seems to be running a extended try out for next year, but I wo ..read more

In a league that constantly does dumb things in terms of scheduling, this game is mind-numbingly stupid. VANCOUVER CANUCKS (23-30-5) vs BOSTON BRUINS (44-8-5) 4:00 PM PST ROGERS ARENA, VANCOUVER, BC TV: SN PACIFIC, SN WEST, CITY. RADIO: SN650 This shouldn’t have to happen. No, I’m not actually talking about how the Canucks are going to get fed their lunch by the best team in the NHL tonight, although it does make me wonder whether I can sit through this one. I’m talking about the way this game appears on the schedule. The Bruins, as you may know, are on their West Coast swing at the moment, h ..read more

Photo by Derek Cain/Getty Images The Luke Schenn rumour mill continues on and the Canucks have announced an excellent new Indigenous themed collection. Canucks News The story dominating Canucks headlines these days is the Luke Schenn situation and how the team is handling it. Personally, I think they’re 100% doing the right thing by sitting him. And frankly it enrages me when I hear stuff like “Well, if the offer isn't right, we might not trade him, can’t lose that character!”. No! We’ve heard that stuff for years! Enough! Trade him and if you lose him, kinda sucks, but oh well. Are the #C ..read more

Pete Keeps Bedard Away | Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports That’s just great! If we were going to the show Well... we knew it was coming... Nucks pick up a point on the 10th worst team, we could expect they’d beat the 8th worst team. Although the game thread was torn on outcomes... This game actually presents a bit of a conundrum to me. I want 3 things to occur: Nucks embarrass Binnington Nucks win Bedard lottery Silovs not get absolutely lit up In order to determine what to actually cheer for, we need to assign values (out of 10) to each outcome. Binnington 9 Silovs 5 Bedard 9,001 Therefore, the d ..read more

Kuz Scores! Repeatedly | Photo by Brett Carlsen/Getty Images Nucks Pick Up A Loser Point - That’s Just Great - But what’s the point? You know what’s weird? A young hockey player signs a big new contract and starts earning it before the contract starts. That’s not how it’s supposed to work - check the NHLPA player conduct tips. Kuz is new to the league and hasn’t learned a thing playing with Miller. No need to score a couple goals every game. Oh well... he’s learning the NHL really fast - his agent will straighten him out before the monster deal arrives. A loser point loss is still a loss. Howe ..read more
