We will miss Roberto Luongo. I wish him the best. He will home with his family at last. The Vancouver Canucks have traded goalie Roberto Luongo back to the Florida Panthers. Luongo rejoins the Panthers after having been traded from them to Vancouver eight seasons ago. The Canucks receive prospect

I just love this mash up video that pits the Boston Bruins whining (and dirty play) against the Vancouver Canucks (and every other team). Puts it all into perspective. Bring out the wahmbulance, the Bruins are in town.
Continue readingBruin goon Brad Marchand given five games for "predatory" low hit on Sammy Salo
Does this look like ‘self defence’ to you? Fueled by the rabid Boston press and the bigotry of media types like Don Cherry and Cathal Kelly, the Bruins have waged a PR war against the Vancouver Canucks with stunning success. Nobody talks about the Bruins’ ganging up or Boston crowds
Continue readingClaude Julien: the only honest Bruin? "We didn’t do enough to win the hockey game. Let’s be man enough to admit it and move on.”
The Boston media is imploding over a rather meaningless mid-season game earlier today between the Canucks and that city’s Bruins. Nobody has pointed out the Canucks were playing at 10 a.m. their time. I was pleasantly surprised the Canucks showed up at all, let alone beat and beat down the

First of all, there are the facts:Of the 10 teams that played for a Stanley Cup from 2006 through 2010, only two had a better regular season the following year while the average decline in the standings was a staggering 12 points.Then there’s the reali…

I don’t know what to say. I am almost speechless. Almost.
This was shameful. No. Excuses. Whatsoever.
Congrats to the Bruins.
And as a sidebar, I really hope that, when they win the Cup next year, Toronto fans show more class than the Canuck fans did last night. In fact, I’m sure that they will!
And […]

For me, this is more complicated than it seems.
I grew up just outside Parry Sound, Ontario – the birthplace and hometown of Bobby Orr – the best player EVAH! AND DON’T FRICKIN’ DEBATE ME ON THAT!
And in P Dot, you were either a Bruins fan or a Leafs fan. No one else was tolerated.

Game 7
It has been called riveting, strange, even nasty. The Vancouver Boston series has been one of the most interesting series I have ever watched. I won’t do any analysis, I don’t think that at this point it would be worthwhile…

One thing that really annoys me is banks making commercials trying to gain favour by going all nationalistic and pulling out the “Canada hasn’t won a Stanley Cup in 18 years!”. A newsflash to them and to a lot of fans saying the same thing: this isn’t the Olympics. This is 2 teams representing their cities, not their countries. There are as many Canadians on Boston’s team as Vancouver’s. Last year’s Stanley Cup champions, the Chicago Black Hawks, had the most Canadians of any team in the playoffs. Why weren’t they “Canada’s team?”
Let’s save the fervour of cheering for your country at actual Canada vs USA games at […]

Proposed ‘Harper Cup’
If the Canucks should win Lord Stanley’s cup, do yourself a favour and do not try to take the glory away from Vancouver and its hockey team. This is not your victory to steal. Vancouver is not a Harper-friendly town.
We don’t w…

Just came back from Granville, giving fives to hundreds of hands, elated by 19 seconds left. TSN is full on BITE BITE BITE. Weird. At the time, announcers on CBC and NBC were meh. Also no word on Hamhuis.Anyway, a great game, if faltering at times and …

My friend did a smudge around Roger’s Arena for the 7th game of the Canucks vs. the Blackhawks. The Nucks won. Then she did it again for the 5th game against the Predators, but an obnoxious, loud-mouth big baby scalper whined to her that the smudge smelled like shit. She explained it was a First […]
