Clay's Canucks Commentary

We're ringing in the New Year by talking about New Years resolutions and traditions.  Also, an impromptu appearance by my daughter Kayla.

The Canucks dropped back to .500 with their 4-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. All people will remember from the game is JT Miller throwing a tantrum at Collin Delia when Delia was slow to get to the Canucks bench for the extra attacker.

Bo Horvat notched 4 points in his second consecutive game, and Ilya Mikheyev added 4 points of his own in the Canucks' 6-2 win over the San Jose Sharks.

I share about my Christmas trip to California and answer all of your questions in my first show since December 15.

In my last episode before Christmas, I look at the Athletic's list of the top 25 NHL players on their trade board, and the TSN annual list of the Core 4 Under 24 for each team.

Spencer Martin made 35 saves to lead the Canucks to a big divisional win over the Calgary Flames.

Bo Horvat released a statement through the Vancouver Canucks today, and addressed the media after practice.  Do you Bo to stay with the team beyond this season?

According to Rick Dhaliwal, Bo Horvat has rejected the Canucks latest contract offer.  It's likely that the Canucks will start to explore trade options for Horvat.

Kevin Bieksa addressed Zdeno Chara's claims last night, and this morning the Canucks rolled out some new lines in the aftermath of their disappointing 3-0 loss to the Wild.

It took 27 games, but the Canucks are finally back at .500 for the season with a wildcard spot now within grasp.  Are they good enough to grab a spot and hold onto it?

Two days after their crazy win over the Montreal Canadiens, the Canucks pulled out another nail-biter, this time against the San Jose Sharks.  The Canucks have now won 3 straight games and 8 of their last 11.

The Canucks scored five unanswered goals as part of their 7-6 victory over the Montreal Canadiens.  Elias Pettersson led the way with 2 assists and the game-winning goal.  

Brock Boeser scored a big goal in last night's 3-2 Canucks win over the Arizona Coyotes, capping off an emotional day.  Boeser was supposed to be a healthy scratch on Hockey Fights Cancer night.  As well, Elliotte Friedman reported that Boeser's agent has been given permission to seek out a trade with another team.

The Canucks suffered a disappointing 5-1 loss to the Florida Panthers on a night they honoured Hall of Famers Roberto Luongo, Henrik Sedin, and Daniel Sedin.  More importantly, Thatcher Demko suffered an injury in the first period.  Hopefully it's not too serious!

The Canucks announced that Roberto Luongo will be enter the Ring of Honour sometime next season.   But would retiring his jersey be a more appropriate honour?

It was a disappointing return home for the Vancouver Canucks as they dropped a 5-1 decision to the Washington Capitals.  With his 2 goals, Alex Ovechkin inches closer to Gordie Howe on the all-time goals list.

Forward Vasily Podkolzin and defenceman Jack Rathbone have been assigned to the Abbotsford Canucks of the AHL.  Podkolzin has played in 16 games for the Canucks this season, while Rathbone has only appeared in 6 games.

With their 4-3 overtime win over the San Jose Sharks, the Canucks are now one game under 500 and one point out of a playoff spot.

Toronto Maple Leafs legend Borje Salming passed away today at the age of 71 after a 4 month battle with ALS.  As well, we look ahead to the Canucks games on the weekend, and we give away a pair of tickets.

The Canucks kicked off their three-game road trip in style by beating the defending Stanley Cup Champion Colorado Avalanche by a score of 4-3. Spencer Martin was solid in goal and Sheldon Dries, Oliver Ekman-Larsson, and Ethan Bear all had 2 point nights.

It doesn't get any easier for the Canucks, as they prepare to face the defending Cup champions Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night.

The Canucks gave up a 4-2 third period lead and lost 5-4 to the Vegas Golden Knights at Rogers Arena.  Despite the loss, the game was very entertaining and even included two disallowed goals.  

The Canucks had their most complete victory of the season on Friday night against the Kings.  They face a tougher divisional opponent Monday night when they face Vegas.

If you were Bo Horvat, would you want to stay in Vancouver?  We talk about the captain's future as the Canucks prepare to face the LA Kings tomorrow night before hosting the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday night. 

Despite the Canucks win in Buffalo on Tuesday night, do you expect the Canucks to make a head coaching change soon?
