Vancouver Canucks head coach Alain Vigneault looks on during the second day of training camp in Vancouver, British Columbia January 14, 2013.

Once considered one of the NHL's model franchises, the Vancouver Canucks have started to look more like Team Shitshow over the past few months.

We're still several weeks away from free agency getting underway, but we're already starting to get an idea of which free agents, or at least potential free agents, the Vancouver Canucks could have interest in.

Hansen had a good regular season, putting up 10 goals and 17 assists. His 27 points was good for third on the team behind the Sedins.

One of the most difficult reads for Stars fans these days is trying to judge the performances of former players as they fight through the playoffs with new teams.

From an unknown name around Dallas to one of the leading defensemen in Austin, Kevin Connauton has impressed Stars fans all over Texas.

If you're looking for someone to blame for the Canucks' failings, start with general manager Mike Gillis.

Joe Pavelski scored his second power-play goal of the game to tie it with 4:27 left in regulation.
