It’s been a long, long time since you could mention the Vancouver Canucks and “playoffs” in the same sentence. And yet, here we are. The Canucks have a very clear vision on how to celebrate their 50th anniversary season properly; a season full of commemorating the past, a few throwback jersey nights and an exciting young team that looks […]
Written in collaboration with Sheng Peng Jonathan Dahlen made his debut for the San Jose Barracuda last night. It was a quiet beginning in the San Jose organization for the once-ballyhooed Vancouver prospect, skating before SAP Center’s announced crowd of 2,593.

For the San Jose Barracuda, the bad luck finally hit last night, in the form of a 5-0 drubbing in Tucson at the hands (or…wings?) of the Roadrunners. Former Barracuda […]
When the San Jose Barracuda and Stockton Heat meet for the fourth time this season at the SAP Center tonight, it’ll be a true litmus test for both teams. In the case of the ‘Cuda, it’s an opportunity to show their only regulation loss to this same Stockton squad two weeks ago was just an […]
Yesterday, we talked about five can’t-miss games in the 2018-19 season. But there’s more to the schedule than just good giveaways and high-octane games. Here’s a break down of the full 82-game schedule and how that could affect the season. Continue reading at Fear the Fin!
Ask a Sharks fan for their thoughts on the Vancouver Canucks, and the answers probably won’t be very positive. Memories of a once dominant franchise featuring some of hockey’s most hated pests like Ryan Kesler and Alex Burrows have left San Jose’s fanbase with a very foul taste in their mouths, even though the Canucks of today are nothing like […]
