The #Canucks doing what they can to just survive with everyone were missing. It's not entertaining, and I didn't think it would work, but they managed to clog up the scoring areas and gutted out a point.

Well earned win by #LetsGoCanes. I hope all the injuries from this game turn out to be minor.

I did not enjoy that 3rd. We held on and got that ugly point, so let's go for it now. #Canucks

History! Tyler Meyers the first NHL player to not get the high stick call because it was a follow through on a Svetch Michigan attempt.

#Canes with 24 shot attempts!?!??
1st Period — VAN 2, CAR 2

• Shot attempts: CAR 24 – VAN 7
• SOG: CAR 8 – VAN 5
• Faceoffs: CAR 62.5%
• PP: CAR 1/2, VAN 0/0
• Hits: VAN 11–5
• Blocks: VAN 8–0

Canes controlled most of the pressure, but Vancouver stayed level through blocks and finishing.

I just got home and missed @wademinter.com calling our #Canucks goals. Thankfully he won't have a sad blank sheet like the last time we visited!

Dear @seattlekraken.com. Do me a favour (that's the proper spelling) and stop being so fun. I'm not supposed to like you.
50 years and 1 day ago, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald and her crew went down in Lake Superior off the shores of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. 49 years and 11 months ago, Gordon Lightfoot recorded a song about it. Today seemed as good an occasion as any to play it on an organ at a hockey game.

I was hoping that he would fall-o again. #Canucks

Ok, so two years ago I was tired of losing so many hats to hat tricks at the Rog and picked up a couple of $20 #Canucks hats that showed up at Costco.

The team has had nothing but bad luck since.

What's the correct way to properly get rid of cursed objects?

Jennifer Botterill has inspired women in so many aspects of this game (including me).

It was an honor to add a story marking the historic moment of her going into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

On Remembrance Day I think of those who are sent to fight, and those who fought and died in hopes that we who follow them might not have to.

On this Remembrance Day I am once again saddened that the peace that was promised after the price that they paid seems to be falling apart.

Lest we forget.

I'm rewatching Goldeneye to look for #PWHL memes and I feel like I know the location of every shot because the video game was so screen accurate.

A video game from 1997!

I'm not sure if anyone has ever tried to do that again.

I've got a pair of tickets and can't wait to check out the team and the updated Coliseum!

#Goldeneyes #PWHL
"For a visiting team to come in off of a five-or-six-hour plane ride, I think it'd be pretty awesome for them to really hate being here."

The Vancouver Goldeneyes want to "make it miserable" for opposing teams to visit the Pacific Coliseum.

I might be missing the #Canucks game but I saw two dudes hula hooping while playing violin.

I'm fancy like that.
