This is getting to be a habit. It’s an especially pleasant habit for fans, if you like watching great goaltending that leads to wins, and it usually does. Last night again, Vancouver Canucks Cory Schneider put in another outstanding performance, stopping 47 of the 48 shots directed at him. The result was another win, a [...]

I don’t know about you, but I have a bucket list of items that I would like to do or see in my lifetime. A few of those have to do with sporting events and now two of my three favourite sports teams have won their championships here in Vancouver, and I have had the [...]

For those wondering why Roberto Luongo was playing in a back-to-back, here’s a little research I did last year. From 2006-07 to 2009-10 the Canucks have played in 36 pairs of back-to-back games.
