This morning on Twitter I said, “Do I wear my #Canucks jersey all day today?” and promptly received dozens of replies about how that’s pretty much a no-brainer. Throughout the Stanley Cup Playoffs (and even since the season began) you could feel the Canucks pride in this city. Flags replicated like bunnies on the tops […]

Throughout the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Vancouver Canucks fans have gathered in living rooms, pubs, restaurants, and public spaces to view the action on the ice. While there was a bit of a push for City of Vancouver to open up Rogers Arena during away games (tickets for that will be available this week), I really […]

This morning I had the opportunity to chat with Jon Mikl Thor, a hockey historian and archivist who sold the rights to the Vancouver Millionaires to the Vancouver Canucks back in October. Aside from knowing all there is to know about hockey history on the West Coast (and owning the Millionaires brand since 1977), Jon […]

Tonight, for only the third time in team history, the Vancouver Canucks became Western Conference Champions and are heading to the Stanley Cup finals. Sounds outside our door in Vancouver’s West End after Canucks game 5 win by John Bollwitt We reached the final round in 1982 against the New York Islanders, and faced the […]

Some people have rules about the playoffs around here. If the Canucks are out, they cheer for the next Canadian team left in the running (although usually there’s an exception for the Maple Leafs). With the Canucks representing Canada’s teams in the 2011 NHL Stanley Cup Playoff run, will the rest of the country sport […]

Tonight the Vancouver Canucks defeated the Nashville Predators in a hot and humid Tennessee. With doubts about the performance of our first line, goalies, and even the Green Men, the Canucks (and fans) pulled through this second round battle. It may not have had the hits and grudges that we faced against Chicago, but it […]

Tonight is Game 3 of the Vancouver Canucks vs Nashville Predators second round Stanley Cup playoff series. Throughout the playoffs the Canucks organization has been running the This is What We Live For campaign, where fans can submit their photos to be a part of the “bigger picture” or in this case, a virtual mosaic. […]

The Vancouver Canucks start their second round of the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs tonight against Nashville and after a heated battle with Chicago, the team and the fans are certainly fired up. After a few suggestions on Twitter that I find a blogging counterpart in Nashville, I contacted Nashville Scene – a source for all […]

The Vancouver Canucks have had rivals before but there was something more heart-piercing about this series with Chicago. Being the Presidents’ Trophy winners, defeating the returning Stanley Cup champions (who previously booted us out of the playoffs, twice) was the moment of glory we were looking for.

The Vancouver Canucks are heading into their first round of NHL Stanley Cup playoffs tonight against Chicago. With the entire city alive with excitement (and hungry for revenge against the Blackhawks) there’s a lot to take in so I figured a Canucks Playoff Guide would be in order.
