If the Vancouver Canucks have learned anything over the past two years, it's that they do not have the right pieces to contend for the Stanley Cup.They've seen themselves outscored, out-defended, out-goaltended and, well, out-competed on every possible level. They could be in a worse position, howe... read more...

My sources say Jim Nill has his preference for the Stars’ new bench boss in his sights, and Alain Vigneault is that man. The New York Rangers have also been in talks with Vigneault as the two sides met up Tuesday. It’s worth mentioning that the Rangers have also been considering Mark Messier to fill [...] read more...

Chicago forward Jonathan Toews might still be a little bitter about the 2011 NHL playoffs. The Chicago Blackhawks were eliminated from the playoffs in the first round after seven games against the Vancouver Canucks. Chicago fell in a huge 0-3 hole, but mounted an impressive comeback to force a seventh game. Vancouver won Game 7 in OT, sending them through and sending Chica... read more...

from Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province, With Tortorella you might get Vigneault 2.0 with a heavy reliance on great goaltending, good defence and a struggle to score goals. The Rangers were 10th in offence and 23rd on the power play during the regular season and a paltry 4-for-44 on the power play in the playoffs. But you also get a snap to attention from a guy who g... read more...

The Vancouver Canucks green men have gained a healthy slice of notoriety over the years for their antics in mocking opposing players visiting the penalty box. Drew Remenda is not a fan. The Sharks announcer threw in a “40-year-old virgins” potshot when they greeted Marc-Edouard Vlasic to the box Wednesday night in Game 1. Moments later Randy Hahn joined in on the green man... read more...

It’s no secret that after two first round series exits, Mike Gillis is on the hot seat. He has fired his coach and any future failures will be on him. But lets not lose perspective here. The Canucks have undergone their most successful time (by a lot) in the time that Mike Gillis has been the general manager. This hasn’t happened by accident. Columnists like Ed Willes cont... read more...

The Vancouver Canucks' 2013 playoff campaign was one of the least successful among all postseason teams and one of the worst performances we've seen in years. As disappointing as it was, it makes way for quite an interesting summer, where we'll likely see a very intriguing Vancouver team both at the 2013 entry draft and free agency. The following are... read more...

The Vancouver Canucks are still a strong team with a lot of positives despite what could be considered a bit of a side show this shortened season. I won’t go into too much detail because I think Esplen has covered this well enough, but the public calls for ousting of Luongo yet keeping him on the team and now the firing of AV brought some controversy…though I know a lo... read more...
