Christian Ehrhoff News

Here's a question: If Christian Ehrhoff had two shots on net all season, and a plus-minus of minus-37, would he still have been named to Germany's team for Vancouver 2010? Maybe.

For the fourth time this National Hockey League season, the Vancouver Canucks failed to extend a three-game winning streak on Tuesday night.

Canuck winger Mikael Samuelsson had a rather succinct message for coach Bengt-Aake Gustafsson and the rest of the Swedish Olympic hockey program after he was left off the team's 23-man roster announced Sunday.

Coming off a victory over the Edmonton Oilers to conclude an eight-game home stand last night, the Vancouver Canucks hit the road for their next four games beginning tonight with their final visit of 2009 to the Pengrowth Saddledome to face the Calgary Flames .

The Vancouver Canucks will try to wrap their season-long homestand tonight with one more victory in a matchup with the skidding Edmonton Oilers at GM Place.

Centre Henrik Sedin is on pace to record a career-best 104 points. He was in a tie for second in NHL scoring before Wednesday's games with 47 points.

Canucks defenceman Kevin Bieksa will face a tough bounce-back test against Alex Ovechkin and Washington's high-flying forwards.

The Vancouver Canucks power play is ranked among the best in the league, but what you see in the stats column isn't what you get on the ice.

Mason Raymond tied the game in the second period and netted the game-winner in the third, as the Vancouver Canucks defeated the Washington Capitals, 3-2, at GM Place.

Scoring goals does not seem to be an issue like it has been in the past with this version of the Vancouver Canucks.

It wasn't easy, Shane O'Brien admitted, to keep his lip buttoned and chin up when he was scratched from the Vancouver Canuck lineup for seven straight games in November.

It was one of those games if you're Roberto Luongo you just hope Steve Yzerman is watching.

The Vancouver Canucks will try to cap a four-game road trip on a positive note when they visit the Nashville Predators for tonight's battle at Sommet Center.

Kevin Bieksa , who works on one of two defence units on the Vancouver Canucksa TM power play, needs to shoot the puck more along with partner Sami Salo, says head coach Alain Vigneault.

Ryan Kesler often claims to not pay attention to much of anything. Not long before the Canucks left on their current road trip, for example, Kesler said he didn't even know who the team would be playing on its four-game trek.
