Zeev Buium has just two points in 11 games after signing a $75 million extension. Did the #Canucks give him too much, too soon? I explored that in my latest Substack. Click the link here to read it -> noahstrang.substack.com/p/did-the-ca...

Räty clears. #Canucks

The NHL has fined Devils forward Evan Rodrigues $5,000 for high-sticking #Canucks player Marco Rossi in yesterday's game.

Last season, the #Canucks were terrible and still never drew fewer than 17,000 fans to a home game. This season, it took two games. Read more -> noahstrang.substack.com/p/how-low-ca...

What is this ESPN headline?

The Canucks drew 16,591 on a Saturday night against Calgary. Outside of COVID, that's their first home crowd under 17,000 in nearly eight years. They raised ticket prices this summer. How low can the #Canucks attendance go? Read more at the link below 👇 noahstrang.substack.com/p/how-low-ca...

Elias Petterson (EP40) has a four game point streak (with the possibility to extend) to start this season. #Canucks

D-Petey is a huge #Canucks drafting and development success story. First Canucks pick since 2020 to reach 100 NHL GP (and only so far). 1 of 4 Canucks picks in third round or later since 2010 to reach 100 NHL GP (Hutton, Forsling, Gaudette).

AI researchers: >10% chance we all die in the next decade. MoneyPuck: 8.7% chance the Canucks make the playoffs this year. The start of another #Canucks season has me wondering if I'll ever see a Stanley Cup in Vancouver. Read more at the link below 👇 noahstrang.substack.com/p/will-the-c...

Will Jake DeBrusk score 30 goals this season? He had 28 his first year with the #Canucks. 23 last year despite a (low for him) 10.5% shooting percentage. DeBrusk should be on the top line and first power play unit. Some puck luck and DeBrusk could get 30.

With Horvat being named Islanders captain I'm reminded of this column I wrote about the #Canucks decision to back Miller instead. No matter the on-ice results, the way the situation was handled away from the rink meant it was doomed to fail. dailyhive.com/vancouver/ca...

#Canucks prospects down 1-0 to the Kraken late in the first. Not much Medvedev can do on the breakaway. Game has been pretty ugly so far with lots of broken plays.

First ever #Canucks Fan Fest will take place from September 24-26. It'll feature a blue carpet player experience, public practice, career networking event, preseason game, and more. Kudos to the team this looks cool.

I can’t decide if Pettersson finding his game this year after his struggles significant influenced this team exploding to smithereens over last few years would be more cruel than just another mediocre ~60 point season on a bad team. #Canucks

3.3% of NFL games will be played internationally this year. How long until that number hits 5%? 10%? NHL (with way more games) still under 0.3%. How long until that hits 1%?

The latest Spittin' Chiclets video might bring back some tough memories for #Canucks fans. Biz chirping J.T. Miller in the middle of his backswing about Petey. J.T. answered back: "Petey in my backswing is crazy...I went to rehab for that." 📽️: Spittin' Chiclets/YT

What do you need to see from Jonathan Lekkerimäki this season to call his year a success? The Swedish sniper is tied for 27th among 2022 NHL draft picks in goals. He was drafted 15th overall. #Canucks

Prime Video has secured exclusive rights to select Stanley Cup Playoff series in Canada per the NHL. They get two first round series and one second round series per year for the next 12 years. They also get Wednesday night games next year in Canada. #NHL #Schedule

#Canucks Jake DeBrusk has a higher salary than LeBron James next season.

Splurged a bit at #FanaticsFest today and picked this up. An all-time great goalie, incredible Canadian, and a personal favourite.

Cooper Flagg clearly uncomfortable with the “white people stuff vs black people stuff” game he’s playing with Shaq and Mac McClung at #FanaticsFest. Shaq looks at Flagg and says: “You are so corporate man, loosen up.” 😂

“I’m not giving up, I’m still going to try to find my way into the league,” says Mac McClung. “It’s a shame you’re not in the league,” says Shaq. #NBA #FanaticsFest

Stephen A Smith talking about LeBron’s decision. Will Bron stay West and join Stephen Curry and the Warriors or go back East? #FanaticsFest

NHL fans going from Carolina hosting Florida on opening night to the #Canucks hosting the Oilers is going to be so funny.

The NHL's opening night on September 29 will feature five games: - #CarolinaCulture vs #TimeToHunt - #LeafsForever vs #GoHabsGo - #NHLBruins vs #NYR - #LetsGoOilers vs #Canucks - #VegasBorn vs #Blackhawks

The #Canucks 2026-27 home opener is on October 1 when they host the #LetsGoOilers.

The #Canucks will face off against the #LetsGoOilers on September 29 for the NHL's 2026-27 opening night.

Here are all the 2026-27 NHL home openers.

At least Canada gave Morocco a run for their money in the first half. USA just getting run over.

I graded all of the #Canucks July 1 signings: Jamie Oleksiak: A Akil Thomas: C Luke Schenn: ??? Read the full article for the rest and my explanations by clicking the link below 👇 noahstrang.substack.com/p/rjs-report...

#Canucks signings so far: C Paul Cotter D Luke Schenn W Akil Thomas W Trey Fix-Wolansky

NHL teams have crossed the $500 million mark in contracts handed out today per @puckpedia.com Byram and Demidov are nearly $150 million of that by themselves.

#Canucks u21 centre prospects: - Caleb Malhotra - Braeden Cootes - Brooks Rogowski - Riley Patterson

#Canucks first round (so far): 3. Caleb Malhotra 24. Adam Novotny

#Canucks are back up in eight picks. Some interesting names that are still on the board: - Ryan Lin - JP Hurlbert - Ethan Belchetz - Adam Novotny - Mathis Preston - Both Ruck Twins - Tommy Bleyl - Brooks Rogowski - Casey Mutryn And many more.

#Canucks take Caleb Malhotra as expected. I think a lot of the Reid stuff today was a smokescreen. The Canucks now have two strong centre prospects with Malhotra and Cootes.

It's hard to discern what is a smoke screen and what is truth but from what I'm hearing, I strongly believe the #Canucks will take Malhotra at three. Would I bet my life on it? No. But that is where this seems to be going.

My Mock Draft: 1. McKenna 2. Stenberg 3. Malhotra 4. Reid 5. Carels 6. Bjorck 7. Verhoeff 8. Rudolph 9. Smits 10. Belchetz #NHLDraft #Canucks

The NHL Draft is finally here and #Canucks will have a new best prospect in the next 12 hours.

Blackhawks likely could've had their pick of defencemen at #4 including Reid, Carels, Verheoff, etc. Instead, they choose to take a gamble on Byram. I hate it.

A recent Wall Street Journal investigation showed Polymarket (an official NHL partner) paying influencers to fake big wins on its platform. The NHL was the first major sports league to jump into bed with these prediction markets. Read more 👇 noahstrang.substack.com/p/is-nhls-re...

Super excited to cover the US Darts Masters and Luke Littler over the next few days. Read my preview below. www.amny.com/sports/us-da...

“Hockey has taught me a lot of life lessons, especially persistence and never giving up,” said HHOF inductee Price. “The game has given me the opportunity to work with dedicated and talented people, and I’m especially grateful to live a dream playing my entire career in Montreal.” #GoHabsGo

Players Patrice Bergeron, Cindy Curley, Carey Price, Pekka Rinne, Keith Tkachuk, and builder Brian Burke have all been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
