I like the Vancouver Canucks . Of course, it's easy to like teams that win their first two games. But I really wanted to hate the Canucks after ownership fired former GM Dave Nonis last April for no good reason. Actually, there was a reason. A small group of former Canucks were backstabbing ...

Liking The Canucks
KK Hockey —
Kukla's Korner Hockey Next entry: Quincey Claimed By Kings Previous entry: Bruins Trade Alberts To Philly Liking The Canucks by Paul on 10/13/08 at 12:49 PM ET Comments (0) from E.J. Hradek of ESPN, When healthy, the Canucks have a top-5 defense. In goal, they have “The Captain,” Luongo, who figures to be better than he was last season.

A Gentlemanly Evening In The Swamp (Caps/’Nucks Liveblog)
Yankee Canuck —
…and happy Italian imperialism day to you and yours! A few notes: first, as earlier reported , Davison is in for Bieksa (though news from this afternoon seem to indiciate he could be back before the end of the road trip), Fedorov practiced on the third defensive pairing this morning and Brent Johnson will be in net for Washington when the puck drops. Fedorov, if he plays on D, is presumably there to help move the puck out of the Caps end against an aggressive Vancouver forecheck. Johnson has played in 75 games over the past three seasons with the Caps, gathering 22 wins, 35 losses and an overall GAA of 3.24; he’s 2-2-2 lifetime against Vancouver, ...
