My Third Star of the week Kevin Bieksa

Bieksa had a solid week with two assists against Colorado and generally good play against the Kings.

He got cut and bloodied up a bit, but he's a tough...

Second Star of the week for me! The Canucks Goaltending

Remember my goaltending rant in this column a few weeks ago?

Me either.

In fact, just to make sure it never was mentioned again, I...

FINALLY! The Canucks have an undefeated week. And boy, did it make me smile. I'm all smiles these days. Sort of. We could be first in the west.

So there's some room for improvement. But still, a...

I'm referring to the Canucks. What, you think there recent surge is a good thing?

I guess so, but they're still playing at a subpar level. Scratching out wins over Edmonton, Colorado, Minny and...

There was an ESPN story recently talking about how Marchand was the only Bruin who couldn't do his post Stanley Cup interview three days after they burned down the city of Vancouver (just kidding,...

This week, things that drive me crazy.

Detroit

21 in a row? Really? Thats like something out of a gamers EA sports fantasy. I hate teams that are this good. Plus, they haven't had a rebuilding...

I agree with some of the predictions above, but there's no way the Canucks finish fourth, simply because if they win their division then they are automatically in the top 3. I made that same mistake...

I'm going there to watch the Whitecaps game on Sunday, I'm very excited! Apparently their overhead screen is the second largest in North America, only the one in the Cowboys stadium is bigger. I've...

Tavaris is definitely not a long term option. A positive scenario might be one where the Seahawks have an off year (6-10 doesn't seem that unlikely) and then trade a few assests for Carson Palmer....

Missing Kesler will hurt, but this is a team that won the President Trophy by 10 points in 2010-2011 despite not playing a single regular season game with its top 6 defencemen, and also missing...

Earlier today I posted a thread for people to make predictions about the Western Conference, which is what most of the fans in the Northwest care about because that's where the Canucks play. However,...

Yes it's only the preseason. There's a lot of hockey left to be played. But seriously, who wants to play the "wait and see game" before making predictions. What are sports forums for besides making...

I agree with Brandon. Putting the headbutt aside, Mayweather didn't hit Ortiz until the ref motioned for them to continue, and Ortiz was an idiot for letting his guard down. The better fighter won.

I have to say I disagree with the rant and the above comment. I agree that the league needs to be MUCH clearer about what constitutes as a penalty and what will generate a fine, but football has...

Hockey is a violent sport. As the author of the article wrote at the end, the idea that we can totally eliminate the phyiscal element of the sport is pretty far-fetched. Having said that, I HATE the...

Well with the Hornets now being run by the NBA there is definitely a chance that Vancouver could get a team again! According to David Stern, Vancouver is one of several cities being considered as a...
