So Canucks fans. Yesterday Mike Gillis emailed me. Did he email you too? You should check your email!
Here is the letter.
Thank you for your passion and support for our team; it is an honour and a privilege to host and play in front of you. However, this season and the way it ended was a disappointment to all of us.
Everyone in our organization expects more and we know...

The past season for the Vancouver Canucks that ended with an embarrassing playoff exit is tough to get over. It was beyond a terrible season for the Canucks, who base season on their insanely high standards.

Size does matter…options for the Canucks
Younger and Bigger
After the second-straight season where the Vancouver Canucks have been bounced out of the NHL playoffs in the first round, GM Mike Gillis stepped to the microphone and offered his synopsis of the season, state of the franchise, and the new direction the ‘Nucks will be heading.
“Younger and bigger” was Gillis’ answer on how to produce results. Concerned...
It’s time to fire Alain Vigneault
After an inconsistent regular season and a complete no show in the playoffs, for Alain Vigneault, it’s time to go. The most successful head coach in Canucks history has been in Vancouver for 7 seasons now, and the players need a new message.
While he has his critics, AV has been behind the bench for the Canucks for the best stretch of years in Canucks history. They have made the...
Canucks GM: Luongo return 'unlikely'
Roberto Luongo may finally get his wish.
The veteran goalie has wanted out of Vancouver since Cory Schneider usurped him as the primary starter late last season, and he didn't change his mind after both goalies looked shaky in an opening-round sweep at the hands of the Sharks.
"I feel like I am in a stage of my life where I want to play," Luongo said during his exit...

They’re just not good enough: Canucks get swept by San Jose
It was one of the most disappointing first round series in Canucks history and not just for obvious reasons. The Canucks didn’t lose to the Sharks because of a bad bounce (of which there were a few) or bad penalties (of which there were lots). No, they lost because they weren’t good enough. This was not an aberration, it was a revelation. The Canucks aren’t as good as many...
Roberto Luongo’s Chances of Returning to Vancouver Next Season Are ‘Unlikely,’ General Manager Says
Roberto Luongo may finally get his wish.
The veteran goalie has wanted out of Vancouver since Corey Schneider usurped him as the primary starter late last season, and he didn’t change after both goalies looked shaky in an opening-round sweep at the hands of the Sharks.
“I feel like I am in a stage of my life where I want to play,” Luongo said during his exit interview...
Major changes loom for Canucks
Major changes loom after the Vancouver Canucks, who came within a victory of winning the Stanley Cup two years ago, bowed out early for the second consecutive spring.
Management is trying to figure out what went wrong in the playoffs for a team that viewed itself as a strong contender, but never approached its target. Instead, the Canucks were swept by San Jose in the opening round...

In sin bin, Canucks defenseman Kevin Bieksa ridiculed by Sharks fans (video)
The San Jose Sharks mercifully ended the season for the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night, completing the series sweep courtesy of a 4-3 overtime victory in front of the hometown fans at HP Pavilion. And while the game was not without controversy — a controversial boarding penalty called on Daniel Sedin (his brother Henrik called the penalty “bulls**t”) led to Patrick Marleau’s...
Fans Losing Faith In The Canucks
from David Ebner of the Globe and Mail,
Up Robson Street, the sidewalk was crowded. The Canucks Team Store, near Bute Street, was almost empty, four people inside. Three of those were the Adolph family, father Ivan and his wife visiting from Lillooet to see their 25-year-old daughter Ayla, who lives in town. Ivan, a hockey fan, had purchased two white Canucks playoff towels...
Preparing The Canucks For The Future
from Tony Gallagher of the Vancouver Province,
When next season begins, the Vancouver Canucks will once again be a strong contender to make the playoffs — and if things go well, perhaps even challenge for the lead at times in their newly realigned environment.
They’ll still have outstanding goaltending, and a decent back end, and general manager Mike Gillis will have...
Cory Schneider out, Vancouver Canucks in peril
The Vancouver Canucks appear to be lagging. Since the playoffs are underway, this is not good.They didn’t show much fight during their 3-1 loss to San Jose in Game 1 of their series. It didn’t help that No. 1 goaltender Cory Schneider was sidelined by what the team calls a “body” injury. Schneider will miss Game 2, too. But what about his big-name teammates? Will they show...
WAY HARSH
Sharks announcer rags on Canucks green men
The Vancouver Canucks green men have gained a healthy slice of notoriety over the years for their antics in mocking opposing players visiting the penalty box. Drew Remenda is not a fan. The Sharks announcer threw in a “40-year-old virgins” potshot when they greeted Marc-Edouard Vlasic to the box Wednesday night in Game 1. Moments later Randy Hahn joined in on the green man bashing...
Roberto Luongo Admits His Contract ‘Sucks,’ Says It’s Probably Why He’s Still With Canucks (Video)
The NHL’s worst-kept secret for the last year or so has been the Vancouver Canucks’ attempt to trade goaltender Roberto Luongo. The club reportedly had talks over the summer about moving him, and those talks reportedly resurfaced again this week.
The suspense was at an all-time high Wednesday just minutes before the deadline. The goalie was pulled off the ice from practice just...
