Clay's Canucks Commentary

I chat with Trevor Lai: the designer of the Canucks Lunar New Year jersey for the 3rd consecutive year.

He talks about his whirlwind stay in Vancouver, the details in the dragon design, and some other cool initiatives.

The Canucks are tied with the Boston Bruins atop the NHL standings as they head into the All-Star Break.

We recap the Canucks' win over the Blue Jackets and we talk about some of the factors behind the Canucks strong play.

And of course, I answer all of your questions...there were a lot of them!

The Canucks are the top team in the NHL in terms of points AND points percentage....and they are sending 5 players and a coach to All-Star weekend.

But do they get enough respect?

I also touch on Dice and Ice, changes to d-pairings at practice, and Rick Tocchet's comments on Elias Pettersson's recent play.

Pius Suter scored the second hat trick of his career in a 4-3 Canucks overtime loss to the St. Louis Blues. The Canucks battled back from a 2-0 deficit to tie the game in the third period.

Thatcher Demko stopped all 31 shots to earn his 5th shutout of the season, as the Canucks beat the undermanned Chicago Blackhawks 2-0.

The Canucks have points in their last 9 games.

The Canucks keep on winning. They're coming off an exciting 6-4 win over Toronto Maple Leafs and they are looking at 3 more winnable games before the All-Star Break.

And speaking of All-Star Break, they have 5 players in the game, 3 players in the skills competition, and one of the co-captains.

Everything is going right!

Elias Pettersson scored on the power play and Dakota Joshua netted the game-winning goal as the Canucks defeated the Arizona Coyotes 2-1 in game one of their five game homestand.

I also talk about one of my tweets that unintentionally went mini-viral.

After returning from their 7 game road trip, the Canucks now play their next 5 games at home before the All-Star Break.

And I share a very important PSA about the importance of carbon monoxide detectors.

The Canuck are 18 games over .500 and atop the Pacific Division with 38 games remaining.

Should GM Patrik Allvin look to go all in for this season?

I build cases for both going all in and not going all in.

The Canucks dropped a 4-3 shootout decision to the Columbus Blue Jackets in their final game of their marathon 7 game road trip. They return home having earned 11 out of a possible 14 points.

As well, I bring on Hall-of-Fame member Justin Credible to greet him a happy birthday.
