As we wait with baited breath for July 1st and the inevitable first blink by either Mike Gillis/Brian Burke/Dale Tallon/Scott Howson (ok, just kidding on that last one) as to where Roberto Luongo may end up, let's focus on the reason Vancouver has a goaltending problem to begin with: your favorite daywalker Cory Schneider.

Vancouver is in Detroit tonight. Detroit have won 23* games in a row at home. Obviously, there is a reason for this. Is the team excellent at home or is it just percentages? Unfortunately, I can't...

@dstaples I think D. Sedin would have 7-9 fewer EV points this season if he got 50% o-zone starts — Gabriel Desjardins (@behindthenet) February 21, 2012 I retweeted this comment from Now,...

I got into another Twitter debate on Cody Minutes v. Manny Minutes today. I guess doing research that shows that Hodgson scores at a higher rate when he plays 14:28 or less isn't enough to satisfy...

The worst staph infection ever. Chris Higgins is back on the ice, and, according to the Ben Kuzma story linked to by Jordan earlier, could make his way back into the lineup tomorrow against...

Finally, for the first time in what seems like a month, the Vancouver Canucks played back-to-back strong games, with an impressive score-tied performance against Nashville backed up by a clear...

"Hey guys, the Canucks are awful at shootouts. I've watched them a bunch this season and it just seems that way, and since every second game has gone to a shootout lately, the Canucks really need...

After a 7-2-2 month, I suppose I'd be a pretty wet blanket to have to say that the Canucks didn't have all that good of a month of January. Rather than team record, which we know by now is really...

It seems like we've really gotten to know the Chicago Blackhawks over the last few years, but how much do we really know the Chicago Blackhawks, man? Do we really know anybody? Do we have a mock-up...

Again, a pretty short post today. I'm dealing with a lot of office/administrative issues this week which has cut a lot of time out of my writing, so I'll make a couple of points today about...

This will be a pretty short post today, unfortunately, however I wanted to direct your attention to a pretty good bit of math done over by our SB Nation buddies over at Broad Street Hockey...

The Canucks have played in a lot of shootouts recently, scoring, if memory serves correct, twice on nine attempts while allowing goals on, again, I'm chalking this up to memory, three times on ten...

The hockey sphere has been pre-occupied somewhat over the last few weeks. I believe those of us who follow the Vancouver Canucks have had to deal with Christmas, the World Juniors, fall-out from...

We count quality shots, too, but we hardly need to. There's a similarity between individual player shot differential and scoring chance differential the more games you play, I think these numbers...

Well, the game on Saturday was certainly something, eh? There was also a tremendous amount of chatter about how the game was called, that the Vancouver Canucks may have a chance against the Boston...
