If Evander Kane was a better person, I'd be much stronger on this. No forward in the NHL has been as unlucky as Kane at 5v5 and you can tell it is getting to him. Brendan Gallagher might be a close 2nd. #Canucks

🏒 This is a poorly coached team and a poorly constructed team. I hope having Rutherford as President means that there's less chance of Allvin making a desperate trade to salvage a top 25 finish this year, but they might be a package deal. #Canucks

that was an absolutely miraculous win by the Vancouver Whitecaps. They might just win it all.

The Canucks are going to have a hard time holding onto this bottom 3 spot. They are getting healthier and they have easier games coming up.

Sarah Nurse has the first goal in #Goldeneyes history!
Sneaky five-hole finish after picking off a pass in the neutral zone.
