The Canucks looked to bounce back from a loss against Colorado against a much easier team in the Washington Capitals. However, the Great 8 Alex Ovechkin, had other plans as he scored the game winner to hand the Canucks their second straight loss since Thatcher Demko got hurt. Pettersson was a no show again and coach Tocchet got the line blender out, but to no avail. In the end, it was a 2-1 loss for the Canucks. Jeff Paterson and David Quadrelli host.

JT Miller stormed out of the gates tonight, with a goal and an assist within the first few minutes of the game. However, it was all downhill from there, JT Miller took a hit to the head and missed half a period in the quiet room, he would ultimately return to the game, no worse for wear, but the Av's scored 4 straight to take the Canucks 4-3 in overtime.

The two top goalies in the Vezina race faced off in Vancouver tonight, as the Winnipeg Jets came to town to face the Canucks. In the end there were 2 Vezina caliber goalies in this game, but they were both on the Canucks!!! After a stellar start, Demko mysteriously pulled himself from the game before the halfway mark of the second period, however, Casey DeSmith kept the shutout intact for the second half of the game. Hoglander with another even strength goal, and Hughes looking back in full...

Sidney Crosby makes a rare visit to Vancouver on this night...the anniversary of the Golden Goal in 2010. The Canucks played a solid game, led by a couple of points from JT Miller and yet another even strength goal by Nils Hoglander. Demko made a number of world class saves to keep the Penguins at bay, but eventually the Pens broke through to win it 4-3 in OT. Jeff Paterson and Irfaan Gaffar host.

The sky is officially falling, and Jeff Paterson was on site at Climate Pledge Arena to see it live. Sure, Vancouver is still in first place overall in the NHL, but the team is definitely in need of some re-alignment as Vancouver loses a 4th straight tonight in Seattle. JT Miller opened the scoring tonight and it was all downhill from there. Connor Garland even tried to fight Brandon Tanev to get his team going, and that was a brutal fail as well. Canucks will host Boston back at home for an...

The Canucks were in Colorado tonight, looking to pick up a win at high altitude and avoid their first 3 game losing streak of the season. Vancouver put out a much better effort through the full 60 minutes, but were unable to stop the Avalanche. The Canucks fall short in a 3-1 loss to Colorado. Jeff Paterson and Farhan Lalji host.

High-event hockey, doesn't even begin to describe this one, as Minnesota was in town for a Wild one on this holiday monday. JT Miller put up a hat trick + an assist to get the game going in the Canucks favour, only to be answered by 7...yes, 7 goals in the 3rd period by the Wild.

The Jets were in town for what promised to be a battle of the 2 top goaltenders in the NHL. It did in fact begin as a stale mate, as both goalies were perfect through the first period. The Canucks had a huge advantage in shots throughout the game, but in the end, Winnipeg won the goalie battle 4-2. The highlight of the night for the Canucks was a sick dangle and a goal by...***rubs eyes and re-checks stat sheet.... Tyler Myers. Jeff Paterson and Blake Price host.

The Red Wings flew into town to face the Canucks for the 2nd time in a week and the Vancouver did everything they could to make sure Detroit had nothing to dance about in this one. Led by the Swedish touch of Pettersson, Lindholm and Hoglander offensively and Demko with another Vezina caliber performance. Nikita Zadorov hled down the physical end of things and also chipped in a goal. At the end of 60 mins it was Big Z who Griddy'd his way out of the rink on this one, as the Canucks win...

The Canucks blew into the Windy City to face the Bedardless Blackhawks tonight, and Chicago sure could've used North Vancouver's finest in the lineup in this one as the Canucks tertiary scoring took over this game. Garland with 2 goals, Hoglander with his 17th!!! and Dakota Joshua rounded out the scoring with a Gordie Howe hat trick....and in the most unsurprising news ever, Demko was amazing. Canucks win 4-2.

Captain Quinn and Co. woke up in Washington today to take on the Great 8, Alexander Ovechkin and his Capitals. Vancouver looked to bounce back after an OT loss yesterday in Detroit. Ovechkin found the back of the net for the 5th game in a row, but the Canucks managed to come out on top 3-2. Hoglander had a beauty and JT Miller finished it off with the game winner, while Thatcher Demko was Vezina worthy, as usual. Jeff Paterson hosts.

The Canucks woke us West Coasters up early today as they motored into to Detroit to try to make up for getting hammered against Boston. Detroit struck first, but Vancouver came out hard in the second with a big response to go up 3-1. As we have come to know, there's 2 things the Canucks never do: one is blow leads in the 3rd period, and the other is lose 2 games in a row... well, scrap that idea, as Detroit answered back with 2 goals in the 3rd, followed by another in OT to beat the Canucks...

It was billed as a battle of the heavyweights between the top 2 teams in the NHL, but it was a first round KO for the Bruins as they absolutely hammered the Canucks, bringing back some bad memories from 2011. Boston looked hungry from the jump, but it was the Canucks who were forced to eat a large serving of humble pie as they gave up 2 more short handed goals in a effort that, thankfully, we haven't seen very often from this years team. They will look to regroup for their back to back early...

The Canucks stormed into Carolina to face the Hurricanes, fresh off the bye week and all star break and with a shiny new toy, in Elias Lindholm. The newest member of the Vancouver squad did not disappoint, potting 2 goals and playing a solid all-round game. JT Miller put in the winner, Captain Quinn had another 2 points to extend his lead atop the D scoring race in the NHL and Thatcher Vezina, er I mean Demko, was huge when he needed to be, backstopping the Canucks to a 3-2 win, which ties...

We've assembled our own All Star team here at Rinkwide to discuss the Canucks season to date, assess the teams All-Stars, and look ahead to the the probable playoff picture. Jeff Paterson is joined by Irfaan Gaffar and David Quadrelli as they chat about what has been a historic season in so many ways: from Dakota to Demko, from Connor to the Quinn...the guys look back at the first half of this incredible breakout season for the Vancouver Canucks. ***after the initial recording and production...

It was a game of the good, the bad and the ugly, as the Canucks fell to an early 4-1 deficit to the Columbus Blue Jackets. No lead is too big when you've got a heated Brock Boeser though. Brock netted a hat trick to bring the Canucks back to evens, and then Petey was able to put it away in overtime...which means the Canucks head into the All-Star break atop the NHL standings.

It was an up and down battle at Rogers Arena as the Canucks fell behind by 2 twice, and came back both times, only to lose in overtime. The offense came from one place and one place only tonight and that was of course, Pius Suter??? Suter scored all 3 goals for the Canucks tonight, 2 of which were set up by Captain Quinn, who extends his lead atop the D scoring race in the NHL. And also yes, there was a benching in the 3rd period, but this time it was not Kuzmenko, but Nikita Zadorov. After...

The Bedard-less Blackhawks visited Vancity tonight to try to keep pace with the League Leading Vancouver Canucks. The Hawks haven't won a road game in their last 18 tries, so on paper this should've been a walk in the park...but the Hawks outshot the Canucks, only to be blanked by Thatcher Demko. Kuzmenko looks to be finding his confidence again, as he picks up assists on both Canuck goals. And in the least shocking stat of the day, Quinn Hughes scored again, increasing his lead atop the NHL...

The center of the hockey universe came to Vancouver tonight, as the Maple Leafs faced off against the Canucks. There were 10 All Stars in the game tonight, but it was the bottom 6 from Vancouver that was running the show, with 2 goals each from Nils Hoglander and Connor Garland. Demko did his part and stopped 42 of 46 to give them a chance. The power play found it's legs again, to help put them over the edge for a 6-4 win. Jeff Paterson and Harmon Dayal host.
