Matt Bartkowski's Mom Is So Adorable
The Canucks’ moms are with the team on their two-game road trip (compare the happy picture above with this one of the Leafs’ dads), and everyone was having a good time in Vancouver’s 3-1 win at Colorado. No one more so than Beth Bartkowski, who saw her son score his first goal in more than three mon...
The Canucks And Panthers Nearly Brawled After Their Game
Vancouver ended Florida’s 12-game winning streak with an OT goal by Daniel Sedin (off a feed from his twin brother Henrik), but the real action came after the final horn. It also featured, from Panthers TV guy Denis Potvin, one of the most inexplicable insults I’ve ever heard....
Daniel Sedin's Teeth Go Flying
Early in last night’s 3-2 Coyotes win, Canucks forward Daniel Sedin took a batted puck directly to the mouth. Watch the replay at the 22-second mark (or don’t!); you can see a tooth make a leap for freedom....
Dan Hamhuis Takes A Puck To The Face, Bleeds A Lot
Canucks defenseman Dan Hamhuis probably wasn’t feeling too good after giving the puck away right next to his own net. He was probably feeling a lot worse when he caught a slapshot to the face immediately afterward....
Phil Kessel Cross-Checks, Gets Called A "Fucking Fat Fuck"
Penguins winger Phil Kessel normally tends to get mad, but Wednesday night, he was bad. Kessel cross-checked Canucks winger Derek Dorsett, prompting a crowd of players near the benches. The Penguin got a deserved penalty for it, but Dorsett was still fuming in the penalty box....
Here's How Tom Brady Pushes His Sketchy Body Guru On People
Boston Magazine published a lengthy story today on Alex Guerrero, who is Tom Brady’s personal body coach, TB12 business partner, counselor, and—according to court records—a modern snake-oil salesman. The FTC investigated products promoted by Guerrero twice, the magazine reports, and in both cases th...

John Tortorella: "I Deserved To Get Fired"
John Tortorella lasted just one season in Vancouver—a disastrous tailspin of a season so increasingly toxic, there's now not a single person on earth willing to deny that he had to go. Torts has rejoined society, sounding refreshed and sanguine in a Tampa Bay radio appearance earlier today, and he's...

Calgary Flames Score On Their Own Net During Delayed Penalty
Flames goalie Jonas Hiller left the net after Calgary had a delayed penalty, but sloppy possession in the offensive zone led to a very long own goal. Yannick Weber was credited with his second goal of the season. Anything is possible!...
Radim Vrbata's Patience Results In A Gorgeous Goal
Canucks forward Radim Vrbata waited, and waited, and waited. Then, he completely fooled Senators goalie Craig Anderson for his 12th goal of the season. Be sure to watch the replay at the end. So pretty....
Watch The Canucks' Tribute To Pat Quinn
Hockey lifer Pat Quinn passed away on Sunday. Last night, the Canucks—for whom Quinn served as executive and coach for 10 years, including for the 1994 Cup Finals run—honored Quinn with a moment of silence and a rendition of "Danny Boy." ...
Jordan Subban Scores Spinning Alley-Oop Shootout Goal On Malcolm Subban

John Tortorella (Jokingly) Calls Reporter An Asshole

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. Yesterday's debacle, losing 7-4 to the Islanders after conceding seven goals in the third period, just hours after GM Mike Gillis wrote a letter to season-ticket holders stating the organizati...

The Vancouver Canucks are still capable of giving up bizarre goals, even with Roberto Luongo out of town....
In Dallas, They Throw Cowboys Hats Onto The Ice
Tyler Seguin's ice-girl-delighting hat trick against a demoralized Canucks team couldn't have been more Texas. Among the hats to fly was one big, black cowboy hat—briefly modeled by linesman Derek Amell:...
