Radim Vrbata's Patience Results In A Gorgeous Goal

Watch The Canucks' Tribute To Pat Quinn

Canucks Owner Texts Reporter: "You Are A Prick"
The thing about the germinating disaster in Vancouver is that it shouldn't even be a big deal. The Canucks will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2008, and that's OK—it's the natural cycle of hockey that a team can't be good forever. The Canucks still have talent, they have money to spend, ...
How Roberto Luongo Saved Vancouver
In time, any serious hockey market will destroy its $64 million goaltender....
There's No Meltdown Quite Like A Canucks Meltdown
I know it's hard to conceive of, but there will come a point when you actually feel sorry for Canucks fans.

Keith Olbermann Twitter-Fought With Tom Sestito's 13-Year-Old Sister
For the singular achievement of racking up 27 penalty minutes in one second of ice time, Canucks forward Tom Sestito was named Keith Olbermann's worst person in the sports world. He called Sestito, among other things, a "boxing hobo on skates." One person who took issue with that was Sestito's 13-ye...
Officials Sent The Wrong Sedin Twin To The Penalty Box
It's hard to blame the officials for occasionally losing track of things during last night's punchy 1-0 Kings win over Vancouver, a game that saw 109 total penalty minutes. It's extra-hard to blame them for penalizing Henrik Sedin for an infraction committed by Daniel Sedin—they look alike, and all....

He's apparently well enough to retweet well-wishers' regards ("Sending love to ...
Joe Thornton Scores Freak Goal On The Luckiest Puck Bounce In History
A little over a minute into last night's Canucks-Sharks game, the puck bounced off the boards on a Joe Thornton dump, rolled up the net, and knocked off Roberto Luongo's shoulder for a goal.
