Many Canuck Memories
| I have many memories as a Canucks fan. Some unforgettable for the feelings you get when thinking about them, and others maybe because you wish you could forget them. But all of them shape who I am as a devout follower of this Vancouver team. I was born in Richmond and have always lived in [...] |
Canadian cities winning the Cup after hosting Olympics?
| I discovered a little stat recently that has put a little jump in my step. Canada has hosted the Olympics 3 times in history. The previous 2 times the Olympic committee has chosen a Canadian city, the host city has gone on to win the Stanley Cup the following NHL hockey season. In 1976 Canada [...] |  |
The Bourdon Effect
| May 29, 2008 will always be the day I remember waking to the tragic news of Canucks defenseman Luc Bourdon being dead. He had apparently taken his motorcycle out for a ride when he lost control and hit a tractor trailer truck; He was 21. Bourdon brought so much promise to the Canucks. He was [...] |
Lord Stanley – We’re Coming For You!
| What a game! And for anyone watching it, maybe you were thinking the same thing I was for a minute there. With about 1 minute to go in regulation time of game 5 I thought to myself. “The Canucks love to do things the hard way. Here we have a chance to close out the [...] |
One More Night with Tommy?
| “Start playing Sweet Georgia Brown!” “Bingo Bango Bongo, it’s Roberto Luongo!” “Oh Captain, my Captain!” “Move over Stan Smyl, you have got some company, baby!” I could go on and on, and I’m sure any Vancouver Canucks fan who has been around could do the same. Tom Larscheid’s voice has echoed throughout the homes of [...] |
Lot of BC flavour to the Stanley Cup final
| For the first time in history the Vancouver Canucks and Boston Bruins will square off in the Stanley Cup final. This is an amazing feat for both clubs as the Canucks have not been here since 1994 and never won it, and the Bruins haven’t reached this level of success since 1990 and have not [...] |
My dream final dilemma
| I have a confession to make. I’m a Boston bruins fan. But before you get your pitchforks and light the torches for a lynch mob let me also say I’m a Vancouver Canucks fan. This is the dilemma I find myself in. Having both of my favourite teams in the final would appear to be [...] |
Thank you, Canucks
| The last time the Canucks were in the finals was in 1994, and I know you’re thinking, “Yes, yes I know. It’s the most quoted line on Sportsnet and TSN”. For me, memories of 1994 are not clear. I vaguely remember watching Game 7 but there was no real emotional investment into that game. Why? [...] |  |
Manny’s Possible Return
| It’s amazing what the Stanley Cup finals can do to push a body to heal faster than anyone would think possible. As the Canucks prepare to meet either the Tampa Bay Lightning or the Boston Bruins, anyone on the team will tell you that having a week off will do wonders for a guy who’s [...] |
