#Brock Boeser

The NHL Trade Deadline is seven weeks away and the New York Rangers hot play has them as buyers come March 3, 2023. While there's 19 games to be played for the Blueshirts between today and that date, it's always smart to plan ahead. Last season, GM Chris Drury made a handful of small to medium size moves to acquire Andrew Copp, Frank Vatrano, Tyler…

Scenes from Canucks skate: Oliver Ekman-Larsson could be a healthy scratch, Boeser to play with Pettersson and Kuzmenko vs. Lightning Welcome to scenes from morning skate brought to you by NHL betting odds site Betway! The Vancouver Canucks were on the ice early Thursday morning as they were living in the future that is the Eastern Time Zone. We…

Ah yes, the most consistently inconsistent team in hockey strikes again. Many Canucks fans at 4-0 were ready to give up on the season, but for the first time in 49 years, Vancouver climbed their way out of a four goal deficit to defeat the Montreal Canadiens 7-6 in OT. Vancouver finished their four game homestead 2-2 and will make a brief stop to…

Welcome to the first 2023 edition of Screen Shots, a THN.com regular feature in which we tackle a few hockey topics and analyze them in a few paragraphs. You know how this works by now, right? Onward we go: The NHL revealed most of the rosters for the league's upcoming All-Star Game in South Florida. The best news is the league has decided to give…

It's not too often a player 21 games into the first season of a three-year contract extension becomes a virtual lock to be traded. But here we are with right winger Brock Boeser and the Vancouver Canucks. It's natural to view last weekend's drama as a catalyst and the reason why Boeser and agent Ben Hankinson have been granted permission by the…

The Ottawa Senators haven't given up their search for a top-four defenceman. They're just not easy to find and nobody is giving them away. Eleven games into the season, the Senators aren't the least bit pleased with their 4-7-0 record as the Vancouver Canucks come to town and defensive errors have played a big role in the club's record just over a…

The start of the 2022-23 season for the Vancouver Canucks has gone off the rails just 31 games in. They are one of the worst defensive teams in the league and recently set an NHL record for the most 5-1 home losses in a season with five. The saddest part about that record is that Vancouver has only played 15 home games this season. While their wish…

Vancouver Canucks vs Calgary Flames 12/14/2022 Picks Predictions Previews The Vancouver Canucks will meet with the Calgary Flames in NHL action in Scotiabank Saddledome, AB, CAN, on Wednesday, December 14, 2022, at 10:00 PM ET.

The Vancouver Canucks were still on the ice for an extended practice ahead of their flight to Calgary when the statement was issued on Bo Horvat's behalf. "I am focused on this season and playing for the Vancouver Canucks, helping the team in any way I can," the statement read. "I will not have any further comments this year about my…

The Vancouver Canucks made an offer to team captain and pending unrestricted free agent Bo Horvat roughly two weeks ago, people involved with the negotiations confirmed to The Athletic on Monday morning. That offer was rejected by Horvat and his representative Pat Morris of Newport Sports. Due to the sensitive and private nature of contract talks,…

NHL Notebook: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins the top powerplay specialist, Stelter family and Edmonton Oilers launch legacy fund and moe There is one player above the rest when it comes to powerplay specialists in the NHL: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. This, according to Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli, who wrapped up his Archetype series highlighting how effective…

There is a big slate of NHL games set to take place on Monday night, including a big matchup in Canada. The Vancouver Canucks are set to host the Montreal Canadiens, and the home team is looking for some revenge. Montreal comes into this game with a record of 12-11-1 and has lost two of its last three games. The Canadiens have been better than…

BC-born Connor Bedard and the Regina Pats just completed a whirlwind tour of his home province. The best prospect to ever(?) come out of the WHL rampaged from Victoria to Prince George, selling out some barns that hadn't been sold out in a decade. All this, en route to the 17-year-old becoming the slam-dunk first overall selection in the 2023 NHL…

The Florida Panthers will try and put an end to a three-game losing streak tonight against the Canucks. In a move that comes as a surprise to no one, Florida will have Spencer Knight back in net. Sergei Bobrovsky gave up three goals in the first period Tuesday night in Calgary and has surrendered four or more goals in four of his past six…

After a disappointing season last year, the Toronto Maple Leafs are primed to have success in 2021. They will get a full season under their new coach, they've supplemented their team with a massive amount of talent (Mikko Lehtonen, T.J Brodie, Nick Robertson, Joe Thornton) while losing almost nothing. The Leafs will also get a huge bonus by moving…

Can the Vancouver Canucks end their road trip with a win? The team is coming off a 3-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday night, thanks to a stellar performance from Jaroslav Halak, as well as goals from Alex Chiasson, Brock Boeser and Luke Schenn. With the victory, the Canucks improved their record to 20-19-6 on the season, but do still…

The Vancouver Canucks captain is in the final year of a six-year contract worth $5.5 million per year. Two of the top players on the Vancouver Canucks, J.T. Miller and Bo Horvat, entered the 2022 offseason with just one year remaining on their contracts. Early in the offseason, Miller and the Canucks were far apart in contract negotiations, while…

The Vancouver Canucks are now the only winless team in the NHL. The club has struggled to pick up a win in their first seven games, posting a record of 0-5-2. Since the 2013-14 season, the organization has made two playoff appearances. In those nine years, the team has continued to add assets in an attempt to become a winning club. Instead, they've…

We have hit two weeks into the NHL season for the Canadian teams. Time is always undefeated and just steadily speeds along. The Calgary Flames, by far, have gotten off to the best start at 6-1. Sadly, there is still the Vancouver Canucks. At 0-5-2, the Canucks and Bruce Boudreau still cannot escape their issues. Then, there are Winnipeg, Montreal,…

I'm not sure any player has as much to prove this year than Philipp Grubauer. The Seattle Kraken netminder is coming off a nightmare campaign, where he posted a career-worst.889 save percentage. At first glance, it would be easy to pin Grubauer's struggles on playing for an expansion team, but the Kraken actually ranked strongly in a number of…

With the Vancouver Canucks season concluded, it's now time to reflect and laugh at our preseason point predictions. Back in September, five of us at Nucks Misconduct (Kent Basky, Westy, Rob, Markus Meyer and myself) foolishly predicted how many points each Canuck would register in 2021-22. You would think that Canucks fandom would have tempered our…

The Vancouver Canucks enter the 2022-23 season with high expectations. For one, this will be Bruce Boudreau's first full season with the club. Vancouver was on pace for 106 points after he took over in December. The team still fell short of a postseason berth but its resurgence restored hope in what has been a dysfunctional franchise. The NHL…

There's no surprise that the Vancouver Canucks head into the 2022-2023 season with their sights set on the playoffs. After inking forward J.T. Miller to a massive eight-year extension, as well as bringing in speedy and tenacious winger Ilya Mikheyev and bottom-six centre Curtis Lazar to round out the roster, the team will be looking to continue…

When we polled our CanucksArmy readers a week back about which Canucks needed to have the biggest showings at Training Camp 2022, one name dominated the responses. Nils Höglander. One week into Training Camp, and on the cusp of preseason action, Höglander is still dominating, but this time he's doing it on the ice. 'He looks like the best player on…

Prior to this year, Elias Pettersson hadn't attended a Vancouver Canucks Training Camp since January of 2020, and that one - sandwiched in between two pandemic-shortened seasons - wasn't even a proper Training Camp. The last time that Pettersson got to skate into Day One of Canucks Camp, after a full and regularly-scheduled offseason, was in 2019,…

Yes, Bruce. There it almost was. Seven-straight wins at any point in any National Hockey League season is a significant accomplishment. Two seven-game runs in half a season would have been something else. The Vancouver Canucks still remain in the conversation to claim a post-season berth and Bruce Boudreau is getting some love as a possible Jack…

Is regression from J.T. Miller in the cards? Will Elias Pettersson have a breakout season? How many points will Quinn Hughes score? Hockey is a difficult sport to predict. Underdogs typically have a better chance of an upset in hockey than in basketball, for instance, for an array of reasons. The lower scores means any given goal - whether a…

Alex DeBrincat wasn't supposed to make it in the NHL. At 5-foot-7, 165 pounds, the Chicago Blackhawks forward was said to be too small to compete. And when he played for Erie of the Ontario Hockey League, many credited his production to his linemates, a group that included forwards Connor McDavid and Dylan Strome. Yet here he is, not only thriving…
