First, the hockey things.
-Cody Hodgson and Yann Sauve are skating their cute little butts off at the Hockey Canada development camp for the World Juniors this week. They have both collected a couple of goals and assists in the scrimmages, and I heard Sauve has been pushing guys around. Good stuff. Go little baby Canucks Go.

Little Known Facts About The Canucks Or We Have No Real Hockey News To Talk About
There’s definitely not much going on right now. We just have to hope that August goes by quickly, and I’ll have something worthwhile to talk about eventually. But in the mean time, here’s one silly fact about every Canuck. I think this will help us to get to know all the new guys. And perhaps [...]

Baby RFAs And State Of The Franchise
The baby Canuck RFAs were finally resigned. Ryan Shannon, Mike Brown, Rick Rypien, Nathan McIver, Zach Fitzgerald and Jimmy Sharrow are all staying in the family. Sadly, with the big fists we added to our fourth line, I will probably have to nurse my Mike Brown hockey crush from afar because he’ll be in Manitoba. [...]

Six Slightly Silly Off Season Things
1. This picture of Matty Ohlund is very adorable.
2. For a brief beautiful moment on Saturday night, Mars Sundin was a Canuck according to a Swedish newspaper. It ended up being completely false, but the translation to English from Swedish was quite hilarious. “How hot is Vancouver? They are extremely hot. They want to have him” [...]

Schedule Time!
Schedule day had me all excited until I realized that there’s still more than 80 days until the start of the season. Boo. But still. A new schedule without any losses penciled in is quite lovely. The Canucks schedule seems a lot more civilized this season compared to last year’s. They are still high in [...]

Can We Make This Random Stuff A Whole Post? Let’s Try.
Man, the really dull part of the off season is starting to set in. There’s just nothing going down. It’s not pretty. Will someone start entertaining me?
The Canucks finally announced their pre season schedule today. I guess that’s the first sign that the season is very slowly approaching. Too be honest though, I was hoping [...]

This Is Why He’s My Favourite.
Hockey news is a little thin right now, so this isn’t exactly a real post. But this is a great article about my favourite Swede. He’s just lovely, really. Sign him Gillis. Pretty please with a Swedish meatball on top. Posted from Canucks.com.

Smugness Doesn’t Look Good On You, Montreal.
As we sit here waiting for the mysterious Mars Sundin to make up his mind between retiring, or playing for Toronto, Montreal, or Vancouver, I’ve been consistently hearing one response from most of the Canadiens fans. This response is that if Mars had any interest whatsoever in winning a Cup, there’s no way he would even think [...]

Fun With Statbits
You might have noticed around here that I hardly, if ever, bring up numbers and statistics when writing about the Canucks and hockey in general. I get a thrill when I see Hank Sedin’s name near the top of assist leaders in the NHL, or when one of the guys hits the 20 goal mark [...]

Hey There New Guys!
The Canucks officially signed Pavol Demitra, and he sounds like he really loves Vancouver which is cool. He even said out loud that he thinks the Canucks could be Cup contenders. Demitra gets bonus points for being one of the only guys that will say that out loud right now. Hopefully his groin will just decide [...]
