VANCOUVER, B.C. - Christian Ehrhoff scored twice to spark the Vancouver Canucks' comeback from a two-goal deficit Friday, but he says he'd just as soon prevent scoring chances as create them.
Former NHL goalie Arturs Irbe has a different kind of pressure, as he is now in his rookie season as goalie coach of the Washington Capitals.
Just like that, the great unknown has become known: Vancouver Canucks GM Mike Gillis told the media today that...
An NHL general manager says Peter Forsberg is going to stay in Sweden this season. Mike Gillis of the Vancouver Canucks was considering signing the former Colorado star, but said he learned Monday that Forsberg wanted to stay in his home country.

NEW YORK - Detroit winger Henrik Zetterberg is the NHL's first star of the week after leading the Red Wings to three consecutive victories.
If you had to make the schedule in a tightened Olympic year would have breaks of five days this early into the season? I wouldn't but I'm thankful we have one, despite an uplifting dominant performance on Saturday night.
There are certainly aches and pains along with the other injuries that can use rest but more importantly it is time for the team to adjust to the return of injured players, an...

Put the last game out of your mind unless you like e-mails of dismembered bodies from car accidents. I'm going to be brief, real brief everyone failed last game. Will it be another collective fail again?
If it is there had better be some heads rolling as despite injuries effort is a decision not a state of body condition. I expect a desire and jump in the team not seen since the preseason....
Vancouver Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo is back in the nets after missing two weeks because of a broken rib. Luongo, who hadn't played since he was injured on Oct. 27, replaced Andrew Raycroft at the start of the second period Tuesday night against the St. Louis Blues. The Blues led the game 4-0 after one period.
I know I'm late on this but Daniel is back and skating with his brother and Burrows on the top line. It was Raymond Kesler and Samuelsson on the second and Glass Wellwood Bernier on the 3rd. Finally it is Hordichuk, Johnson and Rypien.
It's starting to look like a regular team but a ways to go too. Apparently Luongo has the flu but not H1N1. There's your update and regular programming on Tue...
The Dallas Stars peppered Vancouver rookie goalie Cory Schneider with a flurry of shots, and finally a couple found the back of the net. Brad Richards scored midway through the second period to put Dallas in front, Brenden Morrow added a third-period power-play goal, and the Stars beat Vancouver 2-1 despite Schneider's 45-save performance Friday night.
Carey Price denied three Boston Bruins in the shootout after stopping 42 of 43 shots in regulation and overtime to lead Montreal to a 2-1 victory Thursday night, the Canadiens' seventh non-regulation win of the season.
Work was a little manic this morning and I was at an early meeting so I did not open up my Globe and Mail but I finally saw this today and it is interesting:

Now back to regular reading.
It was a good win for the Canucks last night with goals from *gasp* Hordichuk and *yowza* Pettinger. Heck even even B...
The NHL has suspended Vancouver Canucks defenseman Shane O'Brien for one game. His stick made contact with the New York Rangers' Sean Avery while both players were on their respective benches in a game on Tuesday. The league announced the discipline on Thursday. No penalty was assessed at the time of the incident, which occurred at 4:21 of the third period.
VANCOUVER, B.C. - Goalie Andrew Raycroft found there's nothing better than a shutout to erase the memory of a bad outing the previous game.
Mason Raymond and Ryan Kesler each had a goal and an assist, and Andrew Raycroft made 18 saves to lead the Vancouver Canucks over the Colorado Avalanche 3-0 on Sunday night. Tanner Glass rounded out the scoring midway through the third period as the Canucks won for the sixth time in their last seven home games.
The two-goal efforts by Corey Perry and Bobby Ryan were hardly a surprise to the Anaheim Ducks. The goals by Mike Brown and enforcer George Parros were a complete shock -- especialy because of their timeliness. Ten players got on the scoresheet for the Ducks, either with goals or assists, in a 7-2 romp over Vancouver on Friday night that ended a four-game losing streak and prevented them from...
Welcome to CBCSports.ca's Fantasy Hockey 1-on-1, where every Friday our resident nerds — er, experts — Jesse Campigotto and Jordan Shifman, debate three hot topics of interest for poolies.
HNIC's senior online reporter Tim Wharnsby dishes on the latest buzz from the hockey world, including Dustin Penner's tribute to his late grandfather, Martin St. Louis's case for a role in 2010, Wayne Gretzky's response to the potential sale of the Coyotes and a milestone for Darren Helm.
There was no reason to be happy this morning after I watched the first period. In fact I was channel surfing a bit during the game between the Canucks and Deadliest Catch. Unlike dshiddy I like my crabs coming from a boat in Alaska (oops he's married now-just hide the shampoo). However, with about 5 minutes left I began to think the Canucks might pull off a huge heist in LA and as it turns out t...
Each week, Hockey Night in Canada's Scott Morrison breaks down the balance of power in the National Hockey League.
The NW Injury Express arrives in LA tonight and we can be assured that this is a team reeling from consistent bad news. There is news though as Salo and Rypien are back in the lineup. Now depending on perspective this is good or bad news and I'm not sure I'm leaning either way.
I'm glad Salo is back and I like him as a player. I like Rypien too... but not the way he is playing right now. He n...
