The Sunday Crease: Preseason, Sedins and Arenas

As I put the final touches on this second edition of the Sunday Crease, the Canucks were being dismantled by the Vegas Golden Knights, a team playing its first ever NHL exhibition game. Granted, Vancouver’s lineup was made up of mostly prospects and perennial AHLer’s, but the Knights’ quite similar lineup took Vancouver’s kids to […]

The Sunday Crease: Young Stars, Upshall, and New Beginnings

Running your own website is great. You get to pick the stories you cover, improve your writing style, give your honest opinions, and if you’re dedicated (and somewhat lucky), it might even lead you on to greater things.

LITC Update: The Return

Hello everyone. Long time, no see. It’s been four long months since I’ve done anything on this blog (or writing in general), and I’m not sure I can explain why. Every day for months I’ve sat here at my desk, staring at a blank page, trying to find the inspiration and  creative side that’s normally […]

What if the Canucks moved their AHL team to Oakland?

As a Canucks fan living in California’s North Bay, my best chance to see the team is by making the two hour drive to San Jose. On my way down to the SAP Center, I always take the Richmond Bay Bridge and go through Oakland. The Oakland route isn’t nearly as scenic as going through […]

Bo Horvat making early case for Canucks MVP

As we pass the quarter mark of the Canucks 2016-17 season, one fact has become very clear; Bo Horvat knows hockey. In the 2005-06 Canucks campaign, team captain Markus Naslund led the team in points with 79. The following year, Daniel Sedin won the club scoring title with 84 points while brother Henrik landed second […]

Canucks Prospect Pool: Adam Gaudette

When Canucks fans are asked about college prospects, Adam Gaudette isn’t usually one of the first names you hear. But the way his 2016-17 campaign has started, the Braintree, Massachusetts native is certainly making a case for himself. The Canucks selected Gaudette in the fifth round (149th overall) of the 2015 NHL Draft, after a […]
