Shit, what happened? I called home. Nobody answered. I called Thomas Drance, you know him better as @Artemchubarov, the Canucks Army stats guy. Meanwhile, the Moscow-born hockey journalist I've been covering the Memorial Cup with is celebrating. Shit, I needed a hug. I heard Jim Hughson say the play wasn't reviewable, and this was going to count.

After all, how were they going to scrape the confetti off the ice? Todd McLellan and Alain Vigneault had already shaken hands. The damage was done. I had no idea how the puck went in, who had scored, but I knew why. This game meant so much to a lot of fans my age. Those of us who went through the loss to the Rangers. Those of us who stuck through the Mark Messier era. Those of us who suffered through all the heartbreak of the West Coast Express era, a team that just couldn't win the big one. Nah, that was forgiven. I called Drance.

The 2005-06 season was a treat to watch with the Sedins and Anson Carter finding instant chemistry. Carter scored 33 goals and 55 points that year. When the season ended he wanted a 3-year $3 million contract. The Canucks offered him 2 years at $1.8 million. Carter thinks he was low-balled. That he'd be spending more time here.

Nope. Off to Columbus and Carolina he went where he did not enjoy the same success and then went to the Swiss League for a year.

He now lives in Atlanta and operates Big Up Entertainment, a hip hop record label that he founded.

Ed Willies has more from Carter in his Province article. I find the title very misleading.

Hungover? Feeling low? Funny taste in your mouth? Wondering where that laceration on your leg came from? How about that stain on your shirt? Did you actually talk to that girl last night...it didn't go well did it? And why is there a midget dressed like Spiderman taped to a pony stuck in a tree out in the front lawn?

If you're like me, these are usually immediate questions you have on January 1st of any year. So to rid of you any lingering guilt, let's review the top ten stories for your whale armada during 2010. If we missed any, bust that champagne bottle over our noggin in the comments.

10. Longest Road Trip In NHL History
Just prior to the Vancouver Olympics, the Canucks opened their gift from the head office: a 14-game, 13-city, 42-day, 12,885 miles road trip that set the mark for the longest road trip in history. Some thought the trip alone would be the death knell for their post season hopes, but helped by some strong play before the trip began, the Canucks returned home 8-5-1, on top of the NW division and plenty of frequent flier miles.

9. Canucks Re-sign Cory Schneider
As innocuous as it seems, what to do with Cory Schneider has dogged the Canucks since the Luongo trade. They knew they had a bluechip prospect, but opted to keep him in Manitoba and roll with Sanford, LaBarbera or Raycroft instead. After two seasons in the 'Peg with strong numbers, the Canucks couldn't keep the kid on the farm any longer. So they finally played their Schneider card; not by trading him, but by playing him behind Luongo. This all may turn out to an audition for Ginger Jesus, but in the meantime he has yet to be beaten in regulation and gives the Canucks one of the better goaltending tandems in the league.

Jeff Cowan and the legend of Bra Power was not quite born overnight, and may never have happened had Josh Green not gone down to injury on March 1, 2007. The legend of Bra Power was something that took about 4 games of Cowan domination to take place. Cowan, who was pissed off (in his own words) by the Kings' (under coach Marc Crawford) lack of faith in him earlier in the 2006-07 season, was put on waivers at Christmas Time December 2006. The Canucks picked him up off the waiver wire on December 30. Cowan only had 2 assists in 21 games with minimal icetime with the Kings up to that point. Over the next 23 games with the Canucks, Cowan received the same amount of icetime as he saw in LA, and had ZERO points. He was a 4th liner and his time in the NHL was at risk.

But then something unforeseeable happened on March 1, 2007, as Cowan played a bigger role in Green's absence. At 12:10 of the 2nd period against the Coyotes, Cowan was on the ice in a penalty killing role. He blocked a pass from a Phoenix point man and broke in alone on Curtis Joseph, putting a wrist shot over Cujo's glove to make it 2-1 Canucks (see the goal at the 50 second mark of this clip.) Cowan also got into a scrap with Josh Gratton earlier in the game. His tough play earned him first star of the game honors. Something clicked in his brain.

So now that you know where the 1982 squad came from, I will now do my best to inform you of where they ended up. Not all endings are happy, I must forewarn you.

-GM Jake Millford. After putting together the vast majority of that Canucks' 1982 squad as a GM, Millford was promoted to Senior Vice President of the club. He was inducted into the Hall Of Fame in 1984 but died on Christmas Eve a month later. He was 70 years old. Canucks GM's after Millford: Harry Neale (1982-85), Jack Gordon (1985-87) and Pat Quinn (1987-1998).

-Coach Roger Neilson. What can be said about Neilson? Well, a lot actually. He will always be remembered as a guy that was loved by many players, co-workers, a pioneer of the game, a rebel, a successful motivator... His Wiki page has some great stories about him. When Harold Ballard fired him as coach of the Leafs back in the late 70's he showed up the next day to perform his duties like nothing had happened. He started Towel Power in hockey, so when you see any fanbase waving those things, remember where it came from. Captain Video. He would study game tapes till wee hours of the morning to scout other teams, and his own to find areas of weakness and strengths. He was the first guy in the NHL to wear a headset to communicate with his assistant coaches.

Neilson was relieved of his coaching duties with the Canucks in January 1984. He went on to coach the Kings, Rangers, Panthers, Flyers and Senators. During his tenure with the Flyers he was diagnosed with cancer.

In 1982 I was only 8 years old, but  I can remember crying after the Islanders destroyed the Canucks in 4 straight games in the Stanley Cup Finals, ending a miraculous and unexpected playoff run by Vancouver. I have been told by a friend of mine that my older cousin Johnny (R.I.P.) actually kicked his TV off the stand after game 4 was over. I can remember the Canucks never showing any quit, but I can also remember the Islanders dominating in pretty much every area of the game in that Stanley Cup Finals.

The Islanders finished the regular season with 41 more points than the Canucks did in 1982. Vancouver got into the playoffs with a losing record of 30-33-17 but their mutual heroic efforts in that run will forever be etched in my brain, even though the Islanders paraded the Cup around the Pacific Coliseum ice in victory. The fans were disappointed, sure, but it didn't take long for the appreciation to set in.

Even though I was so young at the time, I recently decided to take you back in time once again to that Canucks team, mostly to share with you how that team that played in the Finals was built. Many of you may not have even been born by 1982. So consider this a history lesson to you younger ones, a refresher for others, and/or a trip down memory lane for the older folks.

The GM: Jake Milford. Canucks' GM from 1977-82. Previously the GM of the Los Angeles Kings from 1973-77.

The Coach: Roger Neilson. Nielson, who was the Canucks' assistant coach at the time, replaced Harry Neale as coach because Neale was suspended for 10 games for an altercation with Quebec Nordiques fans with only 5 games left in the season. The Canucks finished the season 4-0-1 under Nielson and stomped their way through the playoffs.

I am going to do my best to give you a timeline of when and how the Canucks' super team of 1994 was dismantled.

The first big change started with Pat Quinn after the '94 playoffs, who handed the head coaching job to then assistant coach Rick Ley so he could focus on his roles of being President and GM. In a lockout-shortened season, the Canucks under Ley had an 18-18-12 record in 1994-95. That ranked them 2nd in the Pacific Division and 6th in the Conference. How times have changed, huh? Vancouver would beat the Blues in 7 games in Round 1 and then get swept by the Blackhawks in Round 2 (yeah, those back-to-back OT goals by Chelios...UGH). Lousy defence. Lousy I say! And it was all downhill from there. For the record, Rick Ley only lasted 121 games as a Canucks coach and was temporarily replaced by Quinn for 6 games and then Tom Renney was hired soon after.

So, on to the roster changes...
