Lach in the Crease
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 […]
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. Now there’s only so many stories you can cover each week while also juggling the other responsibilities […]
Exhale Vancouver, Bo is officially back. After months of waiting, the Canucks announced yesterday that they had finally signed Bo Horvat to a six-year contract worth $33 million. The deal will see Horvat make $5.5 million per year through the 2022-23 season. After a breakout 2016-17 campaign where he led the Canucks in scoring with 52 […]

Are we trying to compete for a Cup? Why are we here?” For what seems like a pretty straightforward signing at first glance, there’s lot to unpack considering […]

The Knights will select one player from each franchise, until they have 30 new members for their inaugural season. For the Vancouver Canucks, the draft couldn’t come at a better time. […]
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 […]

Everything happened! At once! AHHHHHHHHHH! Hi everybody! Sorry I disappeared for the last couple weeks. Things have been a little hectic around here lately, but I’m hoping to be all caught up by the Christmas break! Thank you so much for sticking with me! – Lach
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 […]
