The Vancouver Canucks are about to begin their 2024-25 season on Wednesday night. For forward JT Miller, though, this game is more than a season-opening contest. Miller will skate in his 800th career game when Vancouver takes the ice against the Calgary Flames. Miller has certainly had an interesting career up to this point. Over […]

The Calgary Flames will open the season with a showdown with the Vancouver Canucks. It’s a battle for Western Canada as we share our NHL odds series and make a Flames-Canucks prediction and pick. The Flames went 38-39-5 last season, missing the playoffs. Unfortunately, everything crashed for them, as they could not do much. Calgary […]

Later this week, the Vancouver Canucks and Colorado Avalanche will begin their regular season journeys. Before that begins, the two teams struck a deal on Sunday.

The Vancouver Canucks are gearing up for the 2024-25 NHL season. On Sunday, they made a couple of moves in advance of their season opener. One of these moves involves one of their own players. The Canucks signed forward Nils Hoglander to a contract extension, the team confirmed on Sunday. This new contract runs for […]

The Vancouver Canucks are entering the 2024-25 season following a successful Pacific Division title run and a 50-win campaign, only to have their postseason hopes dashed in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs by the eventual Western Conference champions, the Edmonton Oilers. Unfortunately, injuries played a pivotal role in their downfall, with star […]

The Vancouver Canucks coach Rick Tocchet is explaining his reasons for keeping winger Conor Garland off the ice for a preseason game against the Edmonton Oilers Friday. Tocchet says he was concerned about an injury that Garland suffered before the contest, per Sports Net. Garland tweaked something before the game, Tocchet said, and that was […]

The Edmonton Oilers look to win back-to-back Clarence S. Campbell Bowls this season.  It is time to continue our NHL odds series with a Western Conference Finals Winner prediction and pick. Last year, it was the Edmonton Oilers who took home the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl for winning the Western Conference. It was the first […]

The Boston Bruins are trying to sign Jeremy Swayman before the 2024-25 season. However, things have recently become heated between the two sides. Bruins executive Cam Neely put his goalie on blast in a public setting. This caused Swayman’s representative to release a counterstatement. It appears as if the two sides are at an impasse, […]

The Vancouver Canucks are entering the 2024-25 season off the back of a Pacific Division title and an impressive 50-win campaign, which was cut short in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs by the eventual Western Conference champions, the Edmonton Oilers. Injuries struck at the worst time, with goaltender Thatcher Demko sidelined in […]

The Vancouver Canucks are heading into the 2024-25 season fresh off a Pacific Division title and an impressive 50-win campaign that was cut short in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs by the eventual Western Conference champions, the Edmonton Oilers. Injuries hit the team hard at the worst time, with goaltender Thatcher Demko […]

One of the longest-tenured members of the Vancouver Canucks is calling it a career, but not before putting his signature on one last NHL deal. Defenseman Alex Edler, who played for Vancouver from 2006 to 2021, is signing a one-day contract to officially retire as a Canuck. The Canucks have also announced that they’ll be […]

While many fans eagerly await the start of the 2024-25 NHL regular season, Dakota Joshua is reminding everyone the importance of monitoring one’s health. The Vancouver Canucks forward revealed that he discovered a lump and was diagnosed with testicular cancer earlier this summer. He is blessed to have undergone successful surgery. “This news was obviously […]

The Vancouver Canucks had a very good 2023-2024 season, coming up one game shy of the Western Conference Final while losing Thatcher Demko and Brock Boeser during the playoff run, but head coach Rick Tocchet has made it clear that it will not get any easier this season. “Embrace the hard,” Rick Tocchet said when […]

The Vancouver Canucks were one of the big surprises of the hockey world in 2023-24, following up three consecutive missed postseasons by finishing first place in the Pacific Division. Rick Tocchet won the Jack Adams as the coach of the year, Quinn Hughes captured his first Norris Trophy after a terrific campaign, and the Canucks […]

The Vancouver Canucks played without Brock Boeser in Game 7 of their second-round matchup with the Edmonton Oilers in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Scans revealed that the Minnesota native suffered from blood clots in his leg. Boeser is not entirely in the clear as it pertains to this issue. However, the Canucks forward did […]

There has been a considerable amount of concern in Vancouver after news broke that Canucks star goaltender Thatcher Demko suffered a ‘once in 50 year’ injury last postseason that could keep him out of training camp later this September. The 28-year-old was last in action against the Nashville Predators in Game 1 of Round 1 […]

The Nashville Predators moved on from goalie Kevin Lankinen this summer. The Predators signed goalie Scott Wedgewood in NHL Free Agency to replace him. Wedgewood will back up the recently extended Juuse Saros much like Lankinen did in 2023-24. But as training camp nears, Lankinen remains without a contract. It’s a bit surprising to see […]

The start of training camp is slated for the last two weeks in September, but the Vancouver Canucks may be left scrambling to find goaltending at that point. That’s because starting goalie Thatcher Demko has not recovered from the knee injury he suffered in the first round of the playoffs and the start of his […]

The Vancouver Canucks are coming off a phenomenal — if somewhat surprising — 2023-24 campaign. After finishing sixth in the Pacific Division the year before, the squad put together a sparkling 50-23-9 record, good enough for first in the division and third in the Western Conference. The star core finally broke out, with captain Quinn […]

Since joining the NHL as an expansion team in 1970, the Vancouver Canucks have experienced both highly successful regular and postseason runs, as well as some difficult years. They’ve had the opportunity to compete for the Stanley Cup three times but unfortunately fell short on each occasion. Vancouver has also been fortunate to showcase some […]

The Vancouver Canucks were a surprising team in 2023-24. They had a roster full of elite talent, but Vancouver hadn’t been able to put it all together in the past. They exploded onto the scene early in the year and maintained their spot near the top of the Western Conference, leading to a second-round playoff […]

The Edmonton Oilers are working through a major decision in NHL Free Agency. Two of Edmonton’s restricted free agents received offer sheets from the St. Louis Blues earlier in the week. Rumors of what the Oilers will do continue to circulate. Regardless of that, they did make a trade with the Vancouver Canucks to land […]

Entering the 2023-24 season, the Vancouver Canucks were several years removed from their last appearance in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. They had gone through a handful of head coaches as well as notable overhauls of their roster. Not many realistically expected them to be a force in the Pacific Division, but the team had other […]

The Vancouver Canucks experienced heartbreak in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Before that, though, they made a rather interesting decision. The Canucks signed forward Vasily Podkolzin to a two-year contract worth $2 million total. Signing Podkolzin made sense as the young forward had reached the end of his entry-level contract. However, the terms of the deal […]

The Vancouver Canucks were one of the big surprises of the 2023-24 National Hockey League campaign, following up three consecutive playoff-less seasons by winning the Pacific Division and taking the eventual Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers to seven games in Round 2. Although the year ended in crushing disappointment — losing a Game 7 at […]

The Vancouver Canucks have never won the Stanley Cup. Along with their expansion sibling Buffalo Sabres, they cannot get over the hump despite their diehard fan base. They have had their share of great chances and phenomenal players like Henrik Sedin, Daniel Sedin, and Roberto Luongo. The Canucks top 10 list is a very stout […]

The Vancouver Canucks are right up against the salary cap, which is why they may target a trade before the beginning of the regular season. They have just $15,000 projected cap space with 23 players on their active roster, so gaining some flexibility would be at the top of their list. The Canucks made some […]

The Vancouver Canucks finally gave Jake Debrusk his wish and got him away from the Boston Bruins after signing him to a seven-year contract at the beginning of free agency. The Canucks signed him to a $38.5 million contract, which gave him well-needed security. Debrusk revealed recently that he asked for a trade twice during […]

The Vancouver Canucks made an intriguing move late in NHL Free Agency this summer. The Canucks signed Daniel Sprong to a one-year contract after the veteran forward spent weeks on the open market. Sprong joins his third team in as many years. He spent the last two seasons with the Seattle Kraken and Detroit Red […]

The Vancouver Canucks had an active NHL Free Agency period when the market opened on July 1. The Canucks signed Jake DeBrusk to a seven-year contract while adding depth such as Danton Heinen and Derek Forbort. However, they weren’t done with their activity once July 1 came and went. They recently signed forward Daniel Sprong […]

The Vancouver Canucks are adding some depth to their roster after an impressive 2023-24 campaign. The organization has signed former Detroit Red Wings forward Daniel Sprong to a one-year deal, via PuckPedia. The contract is worth $975,000. Sprong was a key piece for the Wings last season, scoring 18 goals and providing 25 assists in […]

It’s no secret that Jake DeBrusk’s seven-year tenure with the Boston Bruins was not without its challenges — the 27-year-old did ask for a trade on two different occasions, after all. And after signing with the Vancouver Canucks in free agency on July 1, the former first-round pick broke his silence on the trade requests […]

The Vancouver Canucks ran into horrible injury luck in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Starting goalie Thatcher Demko was injured in Game 1 of their first round series against the Nashville Predators. Before Game 4, backup Casey DeSmith also picked up an injury. That led to the team turning to 23-year-old Arturs Silvos, who played well […]

The Vancouver Canucks won the Pacific Division in 2023-24 in rather surprising fashion. In the Stanley Cup Playoffs, they proved their division win was not a fluke. They defeated the Nashville Predators in the first round as they came within a game of the 2023 Western Conference Finals. They certainly had a lot to feel […]

The Vancouver Canucks lost more than they gained in free agency, which is why they need to find some valuable trade targets. The NHL offseason started with a bang in free agency, but the Canucks lost Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov to the Boston Bruins. The Canucks dished out some payback by signing Jake Debrusk, […]

The Vancouver Canucks signed Jake Debrusk to a seven-year, $38.5 million contract on the first day of free agency. Debrusk has been a member of the Boston Bruins for his entire career and has experienced plenty of success, but it wasn’t always smooth sailing. Bruins fans will remember him fondly for some of his playoff […]

Jake DeBrusk was expected to leave the Boston Bruins in NHL Free Agency this summer. On Monday, we found out where the veteran forward was heading. DeBrusk signed with the Vancouver Canucks once the market opened earlier this week. The Edmonton native put pen to paper on a seven-year contract with the 2023-24 Pacific Division […]

The Vancouver Canucks may have watched Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov walk away and sign with the Boston Bruins, but the team snagged a player back from Beantown. The Canucks agreed to a seven-year, $38.5 million contract with Jake DeBrusk in NHL free agent frenzy on Monday, general manager Patrik Allvin announced. “Jake will be […]

Being a two-way defenseman is crucial in today’s NHL. With so much speed on the ice and little room for error, blueliners have to be equipped with the tools to stay effective on both ends of the ice. Perhaps no defenseman better exudes that than Vancouver Canucks captain Quinn Hughes, who earned his first James […]
