In today’s NHL rumor rundown, there is news that Montreal Canadiens prospect Cole Caufield might be headed overseas to play hockey. Meanwhile, in Detroit, Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard says he likely won’t be back with the team, but will he retire? The Vancouver Canucks deny any notion they’re trying to trade Brock Boeser, and
The Vancouver Canucks will be looking to upgrade their blueline this offseason, either by trade or free agency. Matt Dumba, Aaron Ekblad, and Damon Severson have been discussed, but there’s a player entering unrestricted free agency that will only cost cap space, not assets. His name is Alex Pietrangelo, soon to be formerly of the
In this edition of Vancouver Canucks News & Rumors, I’ll look at some of the work that general manager Jim Benning should do during the offseason. Who will he re-sign? Who will he trade? There must be real chemistry on the team, because, almost every player has reported that they want to stay in Vancouver
When Vancouver Canucks fans look back at the 2019-20 season, other than the oddity of it all – with playoff hockey during the late summer – it will be a season to remember. However, perhaps it won’t be obvious how memorable the season will be until several years down the road. Hope is high, but
On Friday night, the Vegas Golden Knights eliminated the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the second round after a 3-0 win. The two teams split the first two games of the series, but Vegas won Games 3 and 4 to take a 3-1 series lead. The Canucks fought back, though, and won Games 5

This was the second game in two nights, after the Golden Knights shutout the Canucks 3-0 in Game 3. Marc-Andre Fleury Started Game 4 Marc-Andre Fleury started his first game since Game
The Vancouver Canucks have been led by two players this postseason, Elias Pettersson and Bo Horvat. If they somehow manage to go all the way and win the Stanley Cup, they both will be in the conversation for the Conn Smythe Trophy. Though, if I had to choose between the two, Pettersson would ultimately win
Tyler Myers has missed the majority of the Vancouver Canucks’ postseason after suffering a separated shoulder in Game 2 against the St. Louis Blues. Fortunately, it seems like he will be ready to return to Vancouver’s lineup sometime this week, which will no doubt provide the Canucks with some much-needed depth on the back end.
After an incredible series against the defending Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues, the Vancouver Canucks fizzled during their first game against the Vegas Golden Knights and lost 5-0. All the positives from the previous series didn’t carry over into Game 1. The team needs to regroup before Tuesday’s Game 2. Related: Canucks News &
When the playoffs began against the Minnesota Wild at the beginning of August, there were some concerns about how Quinn Hughes and Elias Pettersson would handle the extra pressure. Fast forward two weeks and they both have shown maturity beyond their years helping the Vancouver Canucks to a 2-0 series lead against the reigning Stanley
After producing at a middle-six level for three consecutive seasons, Sven Baertschi’s career took an unfortunate turn due to his long history with concussions. The winger was sent down to the Utica Comets at the beginning of the 2019-20 campaign and has only played six games with Vancouver this season. However, there were stretches during
Vancouver Canucks captain Bo Horvat may not be the dynamic forward Elias Pettersson is, but he is definitely the glue that holds this upstart team together. Ever since he was drafted ninth overall in 2013, he was touted as a future captain armed with innate leadership abilities and an impressive two-way game in his arsenal.
The Vancouver Canucks finally have a postseason win after four seasons of futility. The play-in series against the Minnesota Wild is now tied at one and the best-of-five has now become a best-of-three. The reunited Lotto Line of Elias Pettersson, JT Miller, and Brock Boeser helped make that happen with four points between them. Though,
In today’s NHL rumor rundown, the Boston Bruins are hoping an injury to Brad Marchand isn’t too serious. He left an exhibition game and is questionable for Sunday. In Calgary, one scribe tries to explain the chatter surrounding Johnny Gaudreau, and in Vancouver, why is everyone passing Jake Virtanen on the depth chart? Finally, what
Four months and 18 days, that’s how long it was since the Vancouver Canucks played a hockey game of any kind. So you can imagine what it was like for Canucks Nation to finally see the likes of Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes or any Canuck for that matter show off their skills on Wednesday
Don’t look now but the Vancouver Canucks are only one week away from opening their play-in series against the Minnesota Wild. Playoff hockey is just around the corner and the players are chomping at the bit to get going, as the last couple of scrimmages have shown an extra level of competitiveness and intensity. It’s
National Hockey League rivalries can be intense, highly entertaining and will fester and smoulder for decades, only to be freshly renewed during the postseason; the proverbial pulling the scab off an old wound. Until now, the cities of Seattle and Vancouver have had a kinship that dates back more than a century. They are unofficial
