Edler had easily his best season as a professional, setting career highs in goals (11), assists (38) and points (49). He finished 7th overall in scoring for defensemen, and made his first trip to the All-Star Game along the way. Continue reading »

Canucks Player Autopsy: Henrik Sedin
There’s a lot to like (and love) about Henrik’s game; he’s one of the league’s elite players. Like he did in 2009 when Daniel was out with an injury, Hank again proved that he can reinvent his game without his brother, and make whoever he plays with better. Continue reading »
Canucks March wallpaper
It’s March, the final full month of the regular season. To help get ready for the stretch drive, I’ve created a desktop background with the team’s schedule for the month. I know there are other sites that do this, but I don’t like a lot of clutter on my desktop, and typically find most wallpapers … Continue reading »
Cody Hodgson, Vancouver’s left hook
48 games in to the Vancouver Canucks 2011-12 season, it’s becoming quite clear that the organization has a very special young player on its roster in Cody Hodgson. CoHo has fought an uphill (or should that be upstream?) battle over the past couple of seasons, dealing with both serious injuries and negative coverage in … Continue reading »
The Case of the Drunken All-Star Goalie
Let’s face it, booze and hockey have a long and storied history together. Whether you’ve just won the ultimate prize, or you’re lacing them up to go for a midnight skate with your buddies, a game of puck is often followed by a pint or eight. Continue reading »

I’ve been penning the daily “Morning Buzz” column over on Nucks Misconduct for a little over a week now, and it’s been a blast. As a result, posting here hasn’t been as frequent, but I hope to remedy that. I’m currently debating whether “simulblogging” the post here as well as NM is a good idea. … Continue reading »
First post at Nucks Misconduct
My first post at Nucks Misconduct, eloquently titled “Time to nut up or shut up”, is now up. Give it a read, along with the rest of the day’s content. All good stuff.
Nucks Misconduct: Here comes the pain!
I’m excited to announce that soon I will be contributing some writing to the fantastic Canucks blog Nucks Misconduct, part of the SB Nation blog network. I’m grateful for the chance to abuse reach a wider audience, at least until they realize the gravity of their mistake. I feel like the fan who snuck onto the ice … Continue reading »
REPORT: Talented gingers running amok through Vancouver sports franchises
Hide your kids. Hide your wives. A Red Alert has been declared in the city of Vancouver after Travis Lulay’s MVP performance in the Grey Cup yesterday. The carrot-topped quarterback also won the CFL’s Most Outstanding Player award last week, for his part in turning the BC Lions season around after an 0-5 start. But … Continue reading »
BC Lions: 2011 Grey Cup Champions
Arland Bruce said it best — about 63 times, it seemed like — in his post-game interview: “We did it.” Travis Lulay wins MVP, much like David Freese in the World Series, who I compared him to yesterday. Read the full recap from The Province, and enjoy having a championship team! It’s not a Stanley … Continue reading »
