Black Ice Issue #17 — Wild Zeros

Canucks Outsider – hockey pod ·

2008/11/16

The Lemaire Doctrine states that defense wins games, goalies win cups, and a little bit of Claude Lemieux goes a long way. Back in New Jersey in 1995, with a superstar back-end, consisting of Martin Brodeur, Scott Stevens and Scott Niedermayer, Jacques Lemaire perfected his defensive system using a pedestrian group of forwards and the … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #17 — Wild Zeros →

Black Ice Issue #14 — Fight or Flight

Canucks Outsider – hockey pod ·

2008/11/14

Sundays game against Detroit really illuminated the holes in Vancouver’s attack. While the Canucks made a game of it — keeping things close in a 3-2 loss — it was the special teams and, more importantly, lack of an elite scorer on the roster that ultimately made them fall short. The Detroit Blitzkrieg (consisting of Nik … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #14 — Fight or Flight →

2008/11/14

Mr. November has begun the march to coronation. On another note, Barack Obama won the election. Roberto Luongo and his notoriously slow starts have given way to Roberto Luongo and his notoriously exceptional mid-season. Tuesday’s shutdown at the Garage was leaps and bound better than their tilt versus Nashville last year when Sami Salo and … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #15 — Mr. November →

2008/11/14

In 1997 I remember listening to some DJ on the radio make the announcement that the Winnipeg Jets were officially packing up their sleepy prairie home and moving — along with a legal name change — to the snowbird capital of the southwest: Phoenix, Arizona. Gary Bettman’s evil plan to destroy the NHL from the inside was … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #16 — Jets Lament →

At the rink to see the Canucks face original six team Boston Bruins, host Dave O speaks about the retired #7 for the fans, awesome anthem singers, and the excitement of local boy Milan Lucic’s heroics. Joined by a native Montrealer they discuss the multi-generational ferocity of the Habs and Bruins rivalry and bemoans the … Continue reading East Van Kid Makes Good at Gamenight vs. Boston – Canucks Outsider #66 →

Black Ice Issue #12 — Sundin Talks, That It

Canucks Outsider – hockey pod ·

2008/11/04

Originally I was to write a single article regarding the Los Angeles basin road-trip. After tonight’s strange win against Anaheim I opted to focus on the latter game over the former. I did hear that Mike Gillis had a chat with Mats Sundin, who was taking in the game last night. Guess it was a … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #12 — Sundin Talks, That It →

2008/11/04

If there is one figure in Greek mythology most reminiscent of the Canucks it would have to be Sisyphus. Tuesday against Boston the rock rolled down, yesterday they pushed it back up. Tonight, it was down, up, down and ultimately up again. The tragedy in the first period during tonight’s game against the Anaheim Ducks … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #13 — Thirteen →

2008/10/31

“That next afternoon, Canucks beat Philadelphia 8-4 in a one-sided game that should have been 8-2. Molin opened the scoring by walking through a wave of slashes to beat Pete Peters before crashing to the ice to dislocate his shoulder. Smyl got the hat trick, Williams got his first goal…The following Sunday night the club … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #11 — Classic Psychotic Behavior →

Black Ice Issue #10 — So Many Games, so little TiVo

Canucks Outsider – hockey pod ·

2008/10/30

Apparently my number was retired by the Vancouver Canucks last night. Personally I take offense to this. The fact is I have never played for this organization and the raising of #7 to the rafters is a cheap stunt. What it really says is, gee fellas, this organization has never really had enough quality players … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #10 — So Many Games, so little TiVo →

Black Ice Issue #9 — Swing State

Canucks Outsider – hockey pod ·

2008/10/23

On this terrible road trip the Vancouver Canucks managed a paltry 2-4-0 record and both wins came in overtime. That means Vancouver has won only a single game in regulation so far this season. While Obama is looking at a must-win at The Buckeye State in two weeks, it might be sometime next April when … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #9 — Swing State →

My line of logic followed as such. Since I am recently single I enjoy new freedoms in the time department as well as in the ethics department. More time to watch hockey and more freedom to watch it anywhere I like. The obvious choice for pay-per-view this Sunday — The No.5 Orange — Vancouver’s premium … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #8 — Hockey Night On Main & Cordova →

A few games into the an already topsy-turvy Canucks campaign, Dave (with a cold) sits down for a wide-ranging conversation with hockey player-pundit Ian Bell and roster management software maker (rosterbot.com) – they discuss Canucks player movement, European hockey culture and lifestyle, Victoria Cup and European expansion conundrums, Ian’s Team Canada tour, NHL marketing & broadcasting … Continue reading Rickety Roller Coaster Ride with Ian the Goalie – Canucks Outsider

Black Ice Issue #7 — Buffalo Wrings Vancouver’s Neck

Canucks Outsider – hockey pod ·

2008/10/21

What an absolute joke of a fourteen minute span. There were the Canucks playing merry-go-round with the penalty box. There was Curtis Sanford doing his best impression of a colander. There — once again — was the third-line pretending it was the first line and the first line pretending the puck was an undetonated landmine. … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #7 — Buffalo Wrings Vancouver’s Neck →

In the 2007 playoffs — when Jannick Hansen made his NHL debut with the Canucks — there was a pulse to the Danish rookie that hinted at a sort of Kierkegaardian positivism . He never scored, and the Canucks lost the series, but the talk of the town for a few days was — who … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #6 — Three For One Makes It Three And One →

Black Ice Issue #4 — Three Ingredients For Winning

2008/10/17

A championship team needs three things: a hot goalie, a superstar and a gallant captain. All three were on display Saturday night as the Flames opened their season at home. Oh and one more type of player makes a winner: no bad ones. Roberto Luongo was in his finest form. Robbing goals from the Flames. … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #4 — Three Ingredients For Winning →

There is no need for punditry. There is no need for spin. Empirical evidence ought to do just fine. This game sucked — by all accounts. Where to begin. Let’s start with my hangover. I still haven’t gone home. I’m at the library right now. I’m too scared to go home. To frightened of my … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #5 — This Game Sucked →

… or How either technology failed me or I failed technology The short answer is work. I spent the season opener of the 2008-2009 Vancouver Canucks at working.

2008/10/10

The Vancouver Canucks and the Buffalo Sabres share an immutable bond. Both teams entered the league in the second round of modern-era expansion in 1970. Both teams have had more jeresey/logo changes and style woes than any fan cares to mention. Both teams have respectively won their division five times and both teams have been … Continue reading Black Ice Issue #2 — Pre-Season →
