Best & Worst of Round 1 of the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs

There were good times and bad times – and then there were devastating times. If you’re a fan of the the Sens, Wings, Isles, Pens, Preds, Blues, Jets or our dear Canucks, you fall into that last category.  There was a lot of variety this round, brawls, sweeps, and an endless game of musical goalies (Crawford-Darling-Crawford. Hammond-Anderson, Lack-Miller) As usual, there was something to cheer or jeer for everyone. From playoff beards to disappearing pucks, let’s breakdown the best and worst from the first round of the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs.     Biggest Heroes Carey Price He basically stood...

2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs – Round 1 Predictions

The 2015 NHL playoffs are drastically different than they have been in recent years, and it’s exciting! Five out of seven Canadian-based NHL teams are in the hunt this year. For the first time since 2007, a defending Stanley Cup champion failed to make the playoffs. Another big change – and without a doubt my favorite – the Boston Bruins have missed the playoffs.

Game Day Preview Canucks vs. Jets: What’s Lower Than Rock Bottom?

“There’s rock bottom, then 50 feet of crap, then me.” – Rachel Green, Friends It can’t possibly get worse than this, right? Just when we thought the Canucks had hit rock bottom – the Heritage Classic loss, the Heritage Classic drama that lead to the Roberto Luongo trade, losing games consistently and in spectacular fashion – they, on Monday night against the New York Islanders, put together one of the worst third period meltdowns in NHL history (with all due respect to the Leafs’ meltdown against the Bruins in Game 7 in last year’s playoffs). Up 3-zip going into the...

About Last Night: We Miss Torts

Hey, look, Torts, Statler and Waldorf were at the game! Photo Credit: canucks.nhl.com Some highlights – sure, let’s call them that – about the Canucks’ 4-3 lost to the Winnipeg Jets last night. Dear the guy who brought the giant Torts cut-out – that’s so much awesome. Devin Setoguchi snapped his scoring drought, scoring twice, including the game-winner with just 2:56 remaining in regulation. Prior to his first goal, just 6 minutes into the game, he had gone scoreless in 7 games, and only had 1 goal in his last 26 games. There has to be a stat out there...

The Game According to Twitter: Canucks 3 at Jets 4

4-9-2. After losing 4-3 to the Winnipeg Jets last night, allowing Devin Setoguchi to score the game-winning goal with 3 minutes left in the third period, that’s the Canucks’ record in January. 4 wins. 11 losses. And like cherry on top of the whipped cream on top of the fudge on this January crap cake, they also lost Henrik Sedin, Mike Santorelli, Kevin Bieksa and Chris Tanev to long-term injuries. Wake me up when January ends. #Canucks #tgatt — Derek Bolen (@hurrrdurrr) January 31, 2014

Canucks vs. Jets Game Day Preview: I’ll Be Home For Christmas

The holiday break is coming up for the Canucks, but before the yuletide carolling can begin, they must face the Winnipeg Jets tonight for a 5 PM match-up at the Rog. They haven’t had much rest recently – tonight is their 4th game in 4th city in 6 nights – but they do get an entire week off over Christmas to recharge. (After tonight, they don’t play again until next Sunday against the Calgary Flames.) With their big come-from-behind, shootout win against the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night, the Canucks are now 8-1-1 in their last 10 games, and currently...

2013/2014 NHL Season Preview: Central Division

On the eve of the start of the 2013/2014 NHL regular season, I preview the 30 teams, one division at a time. Photo credit: Grantland Chicago Blackhawks The Good The Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup in 2013, and may very well have a chance at a repeat performance. After all, they retained much of their players, with Dave Bolland perhaps the only significant subtraction from the roster. Brandon Saad, Nick Leddy and Marcus Kruger all seem ready to take on more responsibility. The Bad Especially with the hard salary cap and increased parity, it’s pretty darn tough to repeat in...

Out of Town Notebook: 2012/2013 Eastern Conference Preview

Another year, another season preview. As usual, we’ve ranked each team’s goaltending, defense, forwards and coaches based on expectations and past performance. However, given the shortened season, we’ve also taken a few other things into consideration.
