With all the noise swirling around their team, all the acrimony that’s apparently driven the J.T. Miller experience to a finish, you would not have been surprised to see the Edmonton Oilers simply blow the Vancouver Canucks out of the water on Saturday night at Rogers Arena.
It is not just the first period where the Canucks have struggled to generate shots. They rank 31st with 341 third-period shots and have a -40 shot differential. While it isn't as bad as the -47 shot differential in the first, it is still very concerning that Vancouver has such a large shot disparity in multiple periods.
The Vancouver Canucks could soon be making a blockbuster trade, as they are reportedly working hard to move J.T. Miller.
The Vancouver Canucks came close to dealing J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers earlier today per a new report.
The Canucks have reportedly been trying to trade J.T. Miller for some time now as tensions continue to rise in the team's locker room.
Outside of the rampant speculation and drama surrounding the Vancouver Canucks this season, Brock Boeser’s impending unrestricted free agency would otherwise make for a lot of headlines in British Columbia.
The Canucks have largely failed to build on their success of 2023-24. How do the defence and goaltending grade out at the halfway point?
After signing a series of cheap one-year deals with other clubs, Danton Heinen was finally rewarded with a two-year, $2.25 million AAV contract from the Canucks. Mediocre would be the best word to sum up Heinen’s tenure in Vancouver so far: He hasn’t hurt the team in any way, but he isn’t doing enough to move the needle either.
Oilers captain Connor McDavid was handed a match penalty for cross-checking Vancouver Canucks forward Conor Garland up high at the end of Edmonton's 3-2 loss on Saturday night. The play will be subject to an automatic review by the league.
One of the biggest heading into this game is will the Canucks seek retribution on Tanner Jeannot? When these two teams met in November, Jeannot delivered a headshot to Brock Boeser, which resulted in a suspension for Jeannot and a concussion for Boeser.
