Thank You Willie Mitchell
A sad day for me. I was clinging to a faint hope that the Canucks and Willie Mitchell could get something done but in the end it was not enough cap space for Mike Gillis, apparently not worth the risk, and the Los Angeles Kings won the bidding war and decided to take the gamble. Mitchell didn't...
Willie Mitchell: What Should The Canucks Do With Him?
Mike Gillis is going to have some heavy decisions to make between now and the summer time in regards to contracts, and Willie Mitchell's fate is one of them. More after the poll and jumpy thing... First of all, thanks to vancitydan for bringing up the Mitchell issue a few days ago. I think it's...
Mitchell and Bernier Talk About "Hellish" Roadtrip Around Olympics / Ryan Johnson Update

The Next Canuck Captain
Five weeks from now training camp begins (and four weeks from now prospect camp will have already begun). I am willing to assume we can soon embrace a post-Sundin life and, secondly, assume that Gillis will strike out in the trade market and this team will - barring any Mason Raymond-like training...
Stephane Veilleux scores two of the five needed to beat the Vancouver Canucks
Wild 5, Canucks 4 Stephane Veilleux is quickly becoming one of my favorite Minnesota Wild players. He has the heart that some guys don’t, he has the perseverance that some guys don’t and now he finally has a two goal game (that some guys don’t). Veilleux scored two goals in the 5-4 shootout win...
