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…

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,…

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.

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…

During the offseason, General Manager Bill Armstrong decided that the Arizona Coyotes were not good enough and needed to be rebuilt. He then proceeded to blow up the team completely. Only nine players on the opening night roster were with the organization last season, and one of them, Victor Söderström, played for the AHL last season, not the…

Exciting prospect Dylan Holloway got a big opportunity on Monday night and he made the most of it. Elevated into a top 6 line with star teammates, Holloway seized the moment, scoring a hat trick and contributing to the first 5 Edmonton goals as the Oilers rolled to a 7-2 win over a visiting squad representing Vancouver Canucks. The game was closer…

It's only fitting that after playing one of their worst preseason game against Seattle, the Canucks would follow it up by playing one of their best. Sure, the final score was a 7-2 drubbing by Dylan Holloway and the Oilers. But a much more shorthanded Canucks lineup tightened up in the places they needed to, keeping the score close until the final…

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…

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…

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…
