After a promising 2013 Canucks training camp and preseason, Hunter Shinkaruk (twitter: @H_S_9)looked to be a lock for opening night with the Canucks. What most of us in British Columbia were unaware of was that he was battling a hip injury that would eventually be repaired last January. Now healthy, “Shinkalicious” (that’s what my nickname for […]

Words cannot express the feeling I have now that the Canucks have signed their new Head Coach…seriously, I have no words, but I’ll give it a go. I really thought Dan Bylsma was the man they wanted but all the verbal hints and body language suggested Willie Desjardins was the man all along. The Canucks […]

Flames stayed in Moline only two years, before it was announced that the team would be relocated to Abbotsford, BC for the 2009-2010 season. There […]

It’s not even May yet, but with my favorite team (the Buffalo Sabres) out, there’s nothing to do but think of what lay ahead. There’s the draft, of course, but the biggest question bouncing around in my head is “what will the Sabres lineup look like to start the 2014-15 season?” The sad (or good, […]

Mitch Callahan of the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins is a Detroit Red Wing prospect. On Wednesday night, facing the Iowa Wild, Callahan set up shop in front of goaltender Johan Gustafsson when a shot from the point rose up and got him right in the mug.

For once, it looks like the Buffalo Sabres will have a little stability. Since the firing of Lindy Ruff during the abbreviated 2012/13 season, it’s been an up-and-down ride for the Sabres coaching staff and front office. Which is really just a nice way of saying it’s been such an unparalleled cluster-frig. Rochester Americans coach […]
