Rink Wide: Vancouver

The Broad St Bullies came to town for the Canucks last game of 2023, and the Flyers were the better team on this night. The first period was scoreless, but Philly came on strong in the 2nd with 3 quick goals to put Vancouver back on their heels. Teddy Blueger scored in the 3rd and it looked like the Canucks might mount a comeback, but the Flyers again clapped back with a shorty from Garnett Hathaway to put a dagger into the Canucks to win 4-1.

Twas the night before the night before Xmas and the SJ Sharks were in town to wrap up the season series against the Canucks before the NHL takes it's 3 day holiday break. There were a lot of goals on not a lot of shots for both teams, as the Canucks take it by a score of 7-4 on a night that saw Kuzmenko re-united with Petey and Mikayev and wouldn't you know it, he scores 2 goals and can head into Xmas with a smile on his face and a monkey off his back.

The Vancouver Canucks head into the holiday break 1st place in the NHL.

The Canucks rolled in to the Lone Star state to face the Dallas Stars. Both teams had the lead at different points throughout the game, including a Canuck lead in the 3rd period, but it went to overtime, where a missed 2 on 0 breakaway by Petey and Joshua, was quickly turned around into a Dallas goal for the win.

The Canucks made their way down to music row to wrap up their season series against the Predators. The Preds have been hot of late, but they played second fiddle to the Canucks, who put in a full 60 minute effort to chase the Nashville netminder and walk away with a 5-2 victory. Captain Quinn found his way back on the scoresheet after a 3 game mini-slump and Petey found some chemistry with new linemate, Pius Suter as Kuzmemko watched from the press box again.

The Canucks continued their road trip with a visit to Chicago to face the Blackhawks, led by North Vancouver's rookie phenom Connor Bedard. Bedard did his part to set up 2 goals for the Hawks, but Demko held down the fort after that. Dakota Joshua scored again, along with Petey, Brock and Ilya Mikayev to lead the Canucks to a 4-3 win.

The Canucks hit the road to take on the Wild for the second time in very recent memory and this time was again, very uneventful. Casey DeSmith played a fantastic game, stopping 30 of 31 shots on goal, but the Wild goaltender was also great, stopping 34 of 35 Canucks and hanging on to take the W home for the Wild in the first Canuck shootout of the season. Vancouver will get a chance to bounce back tomorrow in another matinee game against Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks.

Luuuuuuuu! Roberto Luongo was back in town to see his space unveiled in the Ring of Honour. As always, the ceremony was great and Lu did not disappoint on the mic. But the good vibes belonged to the Canucks for the rest of the night as they beat up the Panthers 4-0 behind a couple of Dakota Joshua goals and another from Andrei Kuzmenko...and what would a night be without a Brock Boeser goal. Demko did his best Bobby Lu impression and stopped all 36 Florida shots for the shutout.

Tampa Bay visited Rogers arena with Nikita Kucherov leading the league in scoring and several Canucks in hot pursuit. Vancouver looked to continue their winning ways and after Tampa jumped out to an early lead, Kuzmenko evened the score, which was a huge monkey off his back. That was followed by a whole lotta Brock. Boeser had a hat trick to move into the league lead in goals, while Captain Quinn added 3 primary assists to move into the league lead in assists. After oening the scoring the Lightning failed to strike a second time as Demko continued his Vezina-like ways, putting up a .966 sv% against a potentially devastating offense.

The Canucks hoped to win back-to-back for the first time in a while tonight. The Carolina Hurricanes rolled into town on a recent slump, but you can never count out the Canes. It was a very quiet night for Captain Quinn, but Petey found his game again tonight, getting in on 3 of the Canucks goals. JT Miller had a great night and Nils Hoglander continued to impress. It was a tight game as Carolina constantly threatened to tie it up, but in the end, Demko was able to hold it together for the 4-3 win.

A streaking Wild team rolled into town and looked to continue their win streak under the new coach, but the Canucks had other plans tonight. Even though on paper there were a couple of fights, they looked more like the Minnesota Mild tonight, as the teams battled it out in what turned out to be a low event hockey game. Casey DeSmith posted a solid game to backstop Vancouver to a 2-0 shutout and put an end to Minny's win streak.
