2009/01/07

In our last post, your correspondent lambasted the leadership tactics of our Vancouver Canucks as inconsistent and unstable. Fear not Vancouverdom, help is on the way. Will Luongo return sooner then expected from injury? Is it Mats Sundin, savior of the free-world, soon to arrive from a far off Scandinavian village — point-a-game in hand? … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #32 — And With The Tenth Pick… →

The plane arrived at three o’clock in the morning, but the team that was scheduled to arrive never materialized. It was the final rehearsal for the big show, and the team was absent, despite the bodies parading around the ice at HP Pavilion in Vancouver sweaters. Did a flight from Manitoba accidentally get re-routed to … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #31 — No Show, All Shark →

“…[T]here is going to be that seventh game; we’ll hope they can patch Linden up and get him in that one. He will play — you know he’ll play; he’d play on crutches! He will play, and he’ll play at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night! The game is over!” –Jim Robson, after Trevor Linden … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #30 — Captain Canuck →

Canucks Outsider – hockey pod ·

2008/12/24

The first period was all Canucks. They out shot, out drew and out played the Aves by a wide margin. Darcy Hordichuk opened the scoring early, chipping a pass from Jason Jaffery over the left shoulder of Peter Budaj. Most of the play happened in Colorado’s zone. The third-line grinders continue their scoring woes, Kesler … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #26 — Millimeters Away From Win In Mile High →

2008/12/24

This was a nice little win for the home team. While they started off slow and flat-footed — with Florida scoring two soft goals early — the Canucks found their wheels in the 2nd frames, scoring 5 unanswered goals for the win. The game started badly, with Corey Schneider looking very shaky and handling the … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #29 — Canucks Mauls Panthers In 2nd Period For Victory →

This had to have been the worst game of the season for our beloved Canvouver hockey squad. There were bodies on the ice, but there was no soul. If the boys in blue, green and white where thinking of making a selling point for Mats Sundin, should he decide to take the money (and the … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #28 — Oil Blank-it →

Did Alex Burrows leave his feet? Was that a hit from behind by Ryan Kesler? Will Rob Davison’s hit be featured on Don Cherry’s next Rock ’em, Sock ’em release? The answer to all three questions is a resounding Yes. Is this affirmation the impetus for Tuesday nights 3-1 victory over Nashville? Affirmative. Is Mats Sundin ever … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #27 — Griffith Way Gladiators →

The last week has been hectic as all hell for me.

2008/12/16

Man I love playing Minnesota. Man I love beating Minnesota. Man I love beating Minnesota this way. Gritty, grueling and grotesque. Gritty because we won the small battles, kept Minny to 17 shots and really didn’t give up much for chances. Grueling because it comes off a four game losing streak that was the ugliest … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #25 — Wild About Minnesota →

Well (wood) that was convincing. So much ink has been spilled over the fortunes of the former Leaf center (since he was claimed off waivers in July) that extra vats may need to be imported to Canwest for the remainder of the campaign. Baptized by the waiver draft, Kyle Wellwood has emerged as a top … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #19 — Center Of The Universe →

Long gone are the days of Al Arbour and his high flying Islanders of the 80’s. While Vancouver’s franchise win percentage was sinking far below .500, like mercury in the antarctic, Arbour and the likes of Mike Bossy, Billy Smith and Brian Trottier we decimating the league in the relative obscurity of New York.

It was The Burr, in The Rink, with The Hockey Stick.

Peter Budaj stole this one for Colorado on Wednesday night. While Vancouver’s special teams slept, the Slovakian netminder for the Aves was peppered by the home team and came out on top with a performance straight out of the Canucks only-way-to-win playbook: perfect goaltending. Its seems to me that Vancouver has lost some crucial games … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #18 — Maybe Its Time To Try Something New →
