We are Canadian. Push us at your peril.

Lifelong player, coach, Canucks fan. Remedial student of the game.

Watching from my seats at the 'Rog since 1999 and I have the emotional scars to prove it.

Quinn Hughes in red, white, and blue is more disturbing than his forest green, iron range red, harvest gold, and Minnesota wheat kit.

The #Canucks fandom has lost another good one. I just found out that my long time seat neighbour at Rogers Arena lost his battle with cancer.

We always shared laughs at games, and I watched his son grow into a teenaged hockey player and fan while sitting next to me.

RIP Peter and FUCK cancer.

Did anyone call the Men's Sweden vs. Italy hockey game the meatball bowl? Because I can't help it.

My favorite Jim Robson call is for Greg Adam's double OT winner in 94 against Felix Potvin and the Leafs.

His fandom may have leaked out a bit there, but the raw excitement and emotion from Jim and Tommy at that moment was infectious.

Thank you Jim Robson from me and the hospital patients, shut-ins, pensioners, the blind, and all the folks who can't get out to hockey games.

You were the voice of the #Canucks for all of us for a long time, and set the standard that continues to bring us the best play by play in the NHL.

I see that the #Canucks episode will air on Crave on Feb 18. I'm a little worried, and a little sad that no one interviewed me!

Oof. I just saw the hit on Marie-Philip Poulin. Without knowing the context of the hit, it was in a dangerous spot but didn't seem outright dirty. Puck was near and initial contact looks like it was shoulder. Poulin just didn't see it coming.

#TeamCanada should rest her for the rest of this one.

I'm curious about how the British Horse Racing Community is so close to the NHL Hockey Community in the new Bsky map.

I've decided that while I am boycotting the Superbowl today I will not boycott hotdogs, chips, chicken wings, and beer.

Hey Bsky #Canucks friends, now is the time that magical time every 4 years that hockey takes a back seat to Curling for me.

I'm planning to use my main @avgtraveller.bsky.social for Olympics talk but will come back here for anything hockey.

Go Canucks Go!

Do Americans not find it odd that everything in sports is sponsored, even the last minute of the 1st period!?

I wonder how long until a dispensary tries to sponsor Shorty's 4:20 time calls?

the Swiss mixed doubles curling team is married and when their game ended the Peacock stream just showed them playing with their Curling Baby for like 5 minutes with the Olympics music playing

Not to belittle the seriousness of the allegations and the importance of innocence until being proven guilty, but if Gavin McKenna goes to jail the #Canucks will finally get another 2nd OA pick.

"That was two goals deflected in off Petterssons, but the Mammoth couldn’t get one in off Elias Pettersson (F) to complete the set. Small victories"

Daniel's Mom should be proud.
I was looking for positives for the #Canucks after their 6-2 loss to the Mammoth, and I think I found one: their moms will always love them.

But that doesn't mean they won't be disappointed from time to time.

Lanky looking leaky again. To be fair, it's a yard sale in front of him. They aren't fully hanging him out to dry, but they aren't making the game simple for him either.
