If there was one thing clear about the Canucks early exit from the post-season, the lack of secondary scoring and production from the second line was a large issue. So it’s definitely worrisome that Ryan Kesler is still on the mend (with no schedule to return yet) from off-season surgery AND David Booth has encountered a temperamental groin, leaving him on the shelf for four to six weeks.

So how do you replace two-thirds of your second line for close to a third of the shortened NHL season? This is where you come in.

We want you to tell us what your answer to the Canucks second line woes. If the hockey gods like your answer, we and our friends at the Vancouver Canucks have a pair of tickets to Saturday’s home opener to give to you.

To enter:

  • For one entry: In the comments section of this post, tell us what you would do to plug the holes in the Canucks second line. Maybe it’s a combination of existing players or a deal you pull the trigger on. (Make sure you enter your email address when you log-in so we can contact you if you win.)

  • For a bonus entry – Tweet the following:

I entered and RT to win #Canucks tickets from @canuckshockey @VanCanucks & @lyteforce nucks.co/42 #CHB #OTOW

You have until 6:00 PM on Friday, January 18th to enter. Once the contest closes, we will randomly pick one lucky entrant who will become the proud owner of a pair of upper bowl tickets to the home opener on Saturday, donated by our friends at the Vancouver Canucks. You must be able to pick the tickets from Will Call at Rogers Arena (they will be available after 6pm) prior to puck drop.

You don’t have much time. What are you waiting for?

UPDATE: Congratulations to Shawn Car (@ShawnVanCity) with her comment (and line) of Higgins/Malhotra/Hansen. She’s won the pair of tickets to the game tomorrow night!

Bure Scores Another Goal

After trying out Tom’s Rum & Egg Nog recipe last night and getting your New Years Eve party on, we here at CHB thought we would regale you with more thoughts & prognostications on what we think is in store for the Canucks in 2013.

Matt Lee (@mattlee61)

Which brings about what to expect in 2013. Will there be a shortened 48-game season? My guess is yes; I’m an optimist by nature and I think both the owners and players would hate to see another full season flushed down the toilet. But the journey to this point has been like a roller coaster; one very ugly, scary, and sickening roller coaster you can never get off of.

If there’s a season, I’m looking forward to it. Instead of writing what to expect, here’s a brief list of questions I’m interested in seeing answered:

  1. Will Cory Schneider be able to handle a season as the new king of the Canucks crease?
  2. Can Jason Garrison and Zack Kassian live up to the monumental expectations placed upon them as new arrivals?
  3. What version of Ryan Kesler will show up when he returns? The guy who called himself “Bull” in his early days, or the player we saw flopping his way to a first round playoff exit?
  4. Are the Canucks going to retire Pavel Bure’s #10 or has that ship sailed?
  5. Will the Sedin twins production soar or sag after a lengthy layoff?

Anyone have a crystal ball?

As for 2013, I can see the Canucks being undefeated for the first half of January (hahaha, had to be said!).

In all seriousness, I don’t see anything happening for the Canucks in 2013 because I don’t see the lockout ending in time. If the hockey Gods’ pull out a miracle and there is a season, my money is on the Canucks to win the Cup. A season this short would leave no room for burnout and hopefully less chance for injuries (I’m looking at you Ryan Kesler), which, in my opinion, has been the Canucks biggest problems.

But to be very honest here, I don’t want the Canucks to win the Cup on a short season. Because, as some of you know, I married the biggest Canucks hater on the planet and if we win the Cup on a shortened lockout season all I will hear for the rest of my life is “It doesn’t count because the season was short”. I know it’s selfish but I would rather avoid divorce than win a Cup on a short season.

Clay Imoo (@canuckclay)

What can Canucks fans look forward to in 2013?

Firstly, I truly believe that there will still be a 2012-2013 (well technically 2013) season. Having said that, I think the shortened season will work towards the Canucks’ advantage. They can’t afford a slow start as a losing streak of 4 or 5 games could conceivably put them out of the playoffs early. There is enough veteran leadership to hopefully help the team get out of the gates quickly.

I’m very interested in what becomes of Roberto Luongo. Does he turn into a second-line centre? Perhaps a couple of depth players? A prospect or two? Luongo’s fate will undoubtedly be the biggest story surrounding the team until something is done. Thus, the Canucks will need to rely on their veteran leadership to help the team remain focused on the task at hand: a strong start in a shortened season.

Look for the Canucks to hold off the improved Minnesota Wild and surging Edmonton Oilers to secure yet another Northwest Division title.

2013 looks to be a big year with the Olympics of competitive facial hair growing, the World Beard and Moustache Championships held in Germany. Will Wolfgang Schneider use home field to his advantage to defend his natural moustache crown? Can Evan Gillespie of Canada take the championship away from freestyle moustache juggernaut Keith “Gandhi Jones” Haubrich? Will we see a surprise in the Fu Manchu division, which is always a bloodbath, and we never know what to expect from the freestyle sideburns guys…those dudes are crazy.

Controversy surrounds the full beard group after the performance enhancing drugs scandal that shocked the world in 2012 but the bans allow for new stars to emerge. Personally, I predict that Elmar Weisser will take Best in Show all over again although no word yet on what his beard will be shaped like for 2013. He hasn’t yet responded to my repeated suggestion do one inspired by The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song, complete with dice in the taxi’s mirror and guys up to no good spinning Will Smith around their heads.

No word on whether there will be an NHL season in 2013 but who needs it when there’s all this competitive bearding going on?

The Year That Was (or Where We All Thought 2012 Ended on January 7)

Vancouver Canucks and Boston Bruins

Hopefully the holiday season has you in a much more festive mood than the current state of the NHL, and if not, we here at CHB ask that you please drink more Rum & Egg Nog (pretty sure Tom provided the best recipe last year).

Anywho, with the year winding down and us in need some content to keep the dust bunnies from collecting on the site, I sent out the call to our contributors to see what they could remember from the past year & what they can foresee for the next (which you’ll learn more about tomorrow).

J.J. Guerrero (@canuckshockey)

2012 was supposed to be the year the Canucks would take that one final step towards winning their elusive first Stanley Cup. With a largely intact roster from the 2011 team that fell one win short and the addition of a second-line power forward in David Booth, they were certainly poised to make another run at it.

However, as GM Mike Gillis admitted, the Canucks peaked seven days into 2012. Led by Cory Schneider and Cody Hodgson, they exacted revenge on the Boston Bruins, beating them in a Saturday matinee in Beantown, a win which probably ranks among the most memorable in this franchise’s history.

It’s just too bad the calendar read January 7, 2012 instead of June 15, 2011.

The Canucks were physically and emotionally-spent after that win and played less than stellar hockey the rest of the way. They somehow snagged a second consecutive Presidents’ Trophy, but were knocked out in the first round of the playoffs by the Los Angeles Kings.

With Ryan Kesler and Alex Edler coming off major surgeries, the Sedins, Alex Burrows, Dan Hamhuis and Kevin Bieksa a year older, and the salary cap expecting to shrink with a new CBA, the window for this core may be closing and 2012 may prove to be a year of “what-ifs”, unfortunately one of many in the Canucks’ 41 years.

Matt Lee (@mattlee61)

2012 was a pretty bizarre year for the Canucks not only on the ice, but off of it, too. Going into the season, a lot of the talk was about how Vancouver would tackle the Stanley Cup hangover (which was of course answered with their season ending in 5 playoff games). But on the ice, you’d be hard pressed to find any particular game which gave you a reason to stand up and cheer. For me, only a couple games seemed to stood out, one of which was the Boston Bruins rematch back in January. The highlights speak for themselves, though:

Almost hard to believe the Canucks called it “just another game” after watching that, huh?

The other game which also proved memorable was the Canucks in Detroit back in February. The Red Wings had a lengthy home winning streak going at the Joe, and Vancouver was still the cream of the crop in the NHL standings. The game had the makings of a classic, and it was in every possible way.

But again, off the ice it was a circus. The fallout from their abrupt first-round playoff exit ushered the era of Cory Schneider and the (still going) exodus of Roberto Luongo. If the NHL lockout ends any time soon, it’ll just be a matter of time before the Luongo trade rumours swirl once again.

That doesn’t even include some other bizarre happenings: The Cody Hodgson trade rocked the city, Ryan Kesler’s continued rehab from another major surgery sparked worry among fans about how ready he will be in the event of a shortened season, and the signing of Jason Garrison in July was met with some cheers and some jeers… And the guy hasn’t even played a game yet.

Clay Imoo (@canuckclay)

2012 started off with so much promise. The Canucks entered the year having just passed the mighty Minnesota Wild for the Northwest Division lead – a lead they would never relinquish for the rest of the season. Then came that fateful game in Boston on January 7.

In the highly anticipated Stanley Cup Finals rematch, the Canucks prevailed 4-3 in a fight-filled affair. At the time, Canucks fans were on top of the world having just defeated their nemesis. However, the team struggled at times for the rest of the season despite locking up a second consecutive Presidents’ Trophy. In fact, even General Manager Mike Gillis admitted that the game may have taken an emotional toll on the team.

Add in a struggling power play and Duncan Keith’s dirty elbow on Daniel Sedin, and Vancouver looked over-matched in their first-round playoff series against the eventual Stanley Cup winners the Los Angeles Kings.

Victoria Pattison (@concretefluff)

Looking back on the 2012 season for the Canucks, I have to say it peaked early for me.

January 7, 2012 was the only game that really mattered to me in 2012. It was the game that should have happened on June 15, 2011. But it was more than just beating the dirty bears, it was also the first sign of the big changes the Canucks would make in 2012.

My favorite gum-smacking coach may say that he only started Cory Schneider because he wanted to let him play in his hometown, but no one believes that. It was a chance for Luongo to redeem himself and Vigneault didn’t trust him enough to let him have that chance. Schneider, was epic in that game. He played himself into the number one goalie spot.

Every game after the Boston game, seemed to be lack luster. Even when we won games, it seemed to me like it was by happenstance not due to actually working hard. I don’t blame the Canucks. Having a short summer break after a long, hard season with a heartbreaking Game 7 loss I didn’t think we would actually make it that far again.

That said, I didn’t think we would go down to the Kings in Round 1. The only thing more painful than watching Raymond fall down and Edler’s defensive meltdowns in Round 1 was reading the LA Kings snarktastic twitter posts.

CHB Goes Mo for Movember

Movember 2012 Logo
Nearly a decade ago, a couple of guys from Australia thought it would be a top-notch idea to grow themselves a moustache over the course of November. In doing so, they hoped that by clothing their upper lip they would raise awareness, support and funding for men’s health issues. Little did they know how going all Tom Selleck for 30 days would have calendars around the world rewritten to include the month now known as Movember!

Chris & His Mo

Chris’ Mo


With us at CHB always being keen to grow a little facial hair for charity, I’m stoked to be rocking a soup strainer for the month – just wish a few more of us would step up to the plate!

To participate, I shaved off my trustee goatee – would’ve confused me with Matt Lee afterwards – and pledged to continue to grow my flavour saver for a solid 30 days. Now sure, my fiancée isn’t too thrilled with the proposition and I’ve noticed a few people giving me the raised eyebrow, but I was blown away by some of the statistics on men’s health:

  • The average life expectancy for men is five years less than women
  • 1 in 5 Canadian men will experience an anxiety disorder during their lifetime
  • The male suicide rate is 4 times higher than that of women
  • 2 in 5 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime
  • 1 in 7 men in Canada will develop prostate cancer
  • Close to 4,000 Canadian men die of prostate cancer annually

Wow! Fortunately I’m not alone in my efforts.

Beyond close to a million participants in Movember globally, the Vancouver Canucks have stepped up to the challenge and are sporting the Mo! Having been an organization with some epic moustaches in their time – Harold Snepsts, case closed – the team has made a friendly wager with the Canadiens to see which fan base can raise the most cash.

Betcha you’re curious as to how you can support now, right? While starting your moustache a week in to November is kind of cheating, we’d obviously look the other way if you were to still sign-up on movember.com. But the easier and more honourable way would be a donation of any kind to Movember on my behalf!

Funds raised by the organization are invested in to programs related to prostate cancer and men’s mental health facilitated by Prostate Cancer Canada – very honourable causes! In fact, Movember donations are the largest non-government donation towards prostate cancer research globally! And it also helps that you’ll receive a tax receipt for your donation.

Convinced now? Just follow do what the moustache tells you and J.J. won’t get hurt!

Movember Mo

Chris Palliser: Team Diabetes Bloggerview

Oct 232012
 

With all the extra time on our hands with this silly NHL lockout, I recently had the time to sit down with our favourite official Canucks Tweetup host Chris Palliser to talk about his participation in the Team Diabetes 2012 Cayman Islands Marathon. And I’m pretty sure he tells you how to win radio contests the easy way.

Chris Palliser

Chris Palliser – Beat 94.5FM DJ, Canucks Tweetup Host, All-around good guy!

Chris Golden: What inspired you to join Team Diabetes to run in the 2012 Cayman Islands Marathon? Has diabetes affected you or someone you know?

Chris Palliser: Team Diabetes approached the Beat 94.5 in December of 2011 and an email was sent out to the on-air staff saying “anyone interested in running a marathon for Team Diabetes?” I replied to say “I am interested,” and a meeting was set up where the fine folks at the Canadian Diabetes Association said “Thanks for running this marathon!” So I guess I committed without knowing it. Ha ha!

The reason for my initial reply – if I’m going to run a marathon, I might as well do it for something that has affected my family greatly. My Mother, Sister, Cousin and Grandmother are all diabetic, so needless to say… I was running a marathon!

CG: Wow! That’s quite the commitment Chris. Have you ever run in a marathon before? I’d find it intimidating!

CP: Ha ha, NO!! In fact when I signed on, the longest I’d ever run was the 2nd leg of the 4×100 relay in grade 6, so yes the thought was intimidating! I did have the option to run a half marathon but I’m a “go big or go home” kind of guy. It’s all mind over matter right?

CG: Mind over matter, huh? Not sure J.J. and I would agree that’s how you go about running a marathon if we hadn’t been working on it for years. Are there other Team Diabetes events for those scared of a marathon like us?

CP: YES! As I mentioned in the previous question you have the option to run a half marathon. Another option is to run a TEAM full marathon where you can get yourself and 3 buddies together to each essentially run a 10km race – a FULL marathon! They make it available to all people because at the end of the day it’s about raising money for the Canadian Diabetes Association.

CG: So if we were to put together Team CHB, we could have Matt & Caylie run 99% of the race and the rest of us cover the last 1%. Definitely doable. Do you have to be an athlete to join Team Diabetes? A few of us writers here are more virtual athletes.

CP: NO! Again it’s all about raising money for the Canadian Diabetes Association… in fact quite a few of the runners are diabetics so not only do they have to work harder then everyone to maintain their sugar levels and insulin shots, they still put in the effort to run the race. I have met people of all shapes and sizes that will be running with me in the Cayman Islands. If you can fund-raise, you can be a member of Team Diabetes. There are people that walk and do half marathons!

CG: Walk, eh? Walking is like blogging, right? If one of our readers wanted to join Team Diabetes, what advice could you give them?

CP: DO IT! I’m not done my run yet, but I can already tell that it will be one of my proudest moments… not only because I am doing my part to raise money for a cause so close to my family, but I’ll (a non runner) have done a marathon!! The people you meet along the way are incredible and if you sign up with Team Diabetes, you can travel all over the world for free!! That’s how it works. You sign up and pick a run locally or internationally (there is one in Reykjavik, Iceland!) and each run has a different fundraising total. So now all you need to do is click this link and you will accomplish things you never thought you could!

CG: How has fundraising towards your goal gone? Is there anything our readers can do to help?

CP: I will admit fundraising is tough, but thanks to some incredible people in my life such as my wife Heather, my family and friends, it is coming along nicely! I am at approximately $5100 of my $6600 goal, so a bit to go (CG: Chris reached his goal late last week, but is still looking to grow the amount in the name of Team Diabetes.) – stay tuned for a fundraiser event in the near future! Oh… and if any of your loyal readers are in the mood to donate, just head to my Team Diabetes donation page. :) THANK YOU all in advance!

CG: We also understand you’re a Big Brother. Could you tell us more about that?

CP: Yes I am and have been for 2 years now. Much like Team Diabetes, it is VERY rewarding. It’s amazing what giving back can do for a person’s morale!

When I started in radio in Fort McMurray, I got involved with their in-school mentoring program, where all you had to do was swing by a school once a week over lunch break and hangout with a “little” – the commitment was less but you were still helping. Then after a couple of moves I ended up here in Vancouver and with my shift at the time, I had a lot of spare time so I looked into becoming a full on Big Brother and haven’t looked back since. Not only is it as I said incredibly rewarding, but you get to be a kid again! I play laser tag at least once a month, go swimming, go karting, bike riding, rock climbing, and OF COURSE I’m helping a “little brother” who doesn’t have a stable male role model in his life. It’s AWESOME! Everybody wins!

CG: That’s fantastic! Finally, with us being a Canucks blog and you being a big fan yourself, let’s talk hockey – what’s it going to take to solve the lockout?

CP: The Lockout is a joke… it all comes down to the mighty dollar, but I guess that’s the way the world works isn’t it. This thing will continue until the season is in danger of being cancelled. Why until then? Because again it all comes back to money. Both sides want more and nobody gets ANY if the season gets cancelled, so it just a waiting game… who will bend first. I, as a radio announcer in Vancouver, will not try to predict when it will end, and quite honestly I don’t think anybody can. Well maybe the great one. Yeah, let’s go with him! January hockey will be back baby!

Until then, Texas hold-em anyone?

CG: You’re a poker fan? Pretty sure Luongo might take you up on the hold-em! Back on point though, when the players get back on to NHL ice, what do you see the Canucks needing to do to win Lord Stanley’s cup?

CP: Sort the Luongo thing out… quick! It doesn’t do any business any good to have something as large as that up in the air. That would be like having a person who knows they’re getting fired putting the McChicken sauce in the McChicken – is it really McChicken sauce? (CG: Why couldn’t you have told this to me BEFORE lunch?) In order to win they ALL need to be on the same page and want the same thing. I love the guy but if I’m Luongo I don’t want Schneider to do better than me, despite what he keeps saying in the press. Ha ha! So sort Bobby Lu out… oh and Kassian too! I’m still not sure that was a good move. And of course put the Sedins in karate lessons just before playoffs start. That’s good for a kids confidence and self defence right?

CG: You know I used to like McChicken sandwiches Chris. You’re a cruel, cruel man. If I knew karate, you’d be in for it. Anything else you care to share? For instance, the inside edge on winning those radio contests?

CP: Ha ha ha! Be caller 9? Or be caller 94 weekdays at 8:10am and you and a friend are going to Mexico! Cheap plug I know but it’s an amazing contest! The Beat 94.5 is filling a plane of Beat listeners for a party in Mexico and they’re footing the bill! Most importantly though, keep your radio tuned to The Beat 94.5 all the time or AT LEAST between 10am-2pm Monday to Friday for my show! ;) Thanks in advance for listening! Again…sorry for the cheap plug but you opened the door!

CG: That’s okay, we’re shameless here at Canucks Hockey Blog too. Do you have any favourites out there yourself? *hint hint*

CP: Ha ha! I love reading Canucks Hockey Blog and you, my friend, are by far my favourite blogger.

CG: Of course I am. We all know you’re a huge fan of Top Gun and let’s be honest, who out there can talk hockey and Top Gun at the same time? Am I right or what?

CP: …

CG: Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me! Thanks again Chris for your time!

CHB Contest: Win Game Two Canucks Playoff Tickets!

Apr 112012
 

Last season’s run to the Stanley Cup Final outlined a number of different players who’s performance dictated the success of the team. Alex Burrows against the Blackhawks. Ryan Kesler against the Predators. Or Kevin Bieksa against the Sharks. We could even say that Luongo’s performance against the Bruins was a difference maker as he shut out the Bruins twice in the Stanley Cup Finals. We discover every playoff series that a player stands out from the rest.

So as we watch the puck drop today in the Western Conference Quarterfinal, who will it be this go-round?

Great Save Luongo

In a series where the first goal may dictate the games winner, my money is on the play of Roberto Luongo. While the Kings were ranked 29th in goals for over the season, they were ranked 2nd in goals against – and we’ve all seen that the Canucks have been more focused on the process than they were on offense. And when you mix a little Vigneault with a little Sutter, you’ve got yourself the recipe for a war of attrition.

So who do you think the “difference maker” will be for the Canucks?

If you tell us, we and our friends at the Rosedale on Robson have a pair of Game Two playoff tickets to give away.

To enter:

  • For one entry: In the comments section of this post, tell us which Canucks player you think will be the difference maker in this series. (Make sure you enter your email address when you log-in so we can contact you if you win.)

  • For a bonus entry – Tweet the following:

I entered and RT to win Game 2 #Canucks playoff tickets from @canuckshockey @RosedaleRobson & @lyteforce nucks.co/1Y #CHB

You have until 3:00 PM on Thursday, April 12th to enter. Once the contest closes, we will randomly pick one lucky entrant who will become the proud owner of a pair of upper bowl tickets to Game Two on Friday, donated by our friends at the Rosedale on Robson. You must be able to pick the tickets from the Rosedale on Robson (833 Robson St. at Hamilton) prior to puck drop.

The Canucks 2012 Playoff Beard Challenge

 Blog  8 Responses »

Chris' Beard by Round 4

Coffee, Beer, and Playoff Hockey Make Beards Grow

With only a few games left in the 2011/12 NHL Regular Season, you know it’s only a matter of time until you begin to see how the more passionate hockey fans separate themselves from the crowd. That’s right – it’s playoff beard time!

Last year, the Canucks Hockey Blog Playoff Beard Challenge was a phenomenal success! Not only did we help raise money for a wicked cause through the NHLPA Beard-a-thon, our facial hair helped the boys in blue come within one game of the actual Stanley Cup (give or take obviously). One game! So being the superstitious folk we are, we knew there was only one thing for us to do this week – announce the Canucks 2012 Playoff Beard Challenge!

To participate, simply take a picture of your beard from Day 1 through to the end of the Canucks playoff run and share it with the world. But what’s the best way to share you ask? By joining and/or supporting the official CHB Beard-a-thon team!

For those not aware, the NHLPA Beard-a-thon raised nearly $200,000 for the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada. And why the Heart & Stroke Foundation?

The Heart and Stroke Foundation is dedicated to giving Canadians longer, fuller lives because heart disease and stroke take 1 in 3 Canadians too soon and it is the #1 killer of women. Donations fuel research, health education and social change to improve heart health for all Canadians. The Foundation is dedicated to funding innovative research and medical breakthroughs, including funding studies into women and heart disease, the risk factors for different ethnicities, children’s health and adults dealing with congenital heart defects.

Pretty awesome charity to support if you ask me. And because we’re supporting a great cause, we want to do it the right way:

The Rules of the 2012 Canucks Playoff Beard Challenge:

  1. You don’t talk about Beard Club.. err.. the Challenge.
  2. You don’t talk about Beard Club.
  3. If you can’t do the beard, commit to something and stick to it (special ritual, personal habit, etc.). We here at the Challenge do not discriminate against those who can’t/don’t/won’t grow facial hair. We’ll even accept virtual beards for the folicly challenged.
  4. A beard is a beard is a beard. Goatees and mustaches are fakes.
  5. Your last shave takes place the morning of April 8th the first game (updated to conform with the Beardathon rules).

Once you’re in, you’re in. Unless you’re not. We’re not that hardcore. But keep in mind the idea of a playoff challenge is to keep it going – and Lord knows we’ll make you feel shame should something untoward happen to the Canucks in the post-season AFTER you quit. And in just in case it comes up, the wishes of your significant other do not trump Beard Club. In fact, you should encourage him/her/it to heed the call to challenge and join up.

So do you have what it takes? Do ya, punk?
