Not much has looked good for the Canucks tonight. But this Ohgren-Blueger-Garland trio certainly has.

Teddy Blueger has four goals in his last seven games. Artemi Panarin? Three goals in his last TEN. Blueger is also four years younger. You tell me which player is worth giving up a first round pick at the deadline for.

Wrote about Macklin Celebrini's ridiculous sophomore NHL season, and was reminded about the time he (at 16 years old) told @jdburke.bsky.social that he thought the Canucks should be rebuilding.

Asked Coquitlam-born Ben Kindel how many people were apart of what sounded like a large supporters section for him at Rogers Arena this afternoon.

Per Kevin Weekes, the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche are among the likely trade destinations for Canucks forward Evander Kane.

The look on Boeser's face... the hug from Pettersson... relief doesn't accurately describe how Boeser must have felt after that one. Deliverance or catharsis seems more appropriate.

I don’t know who exactly needs to hear this, but being bad doesn’t always equal β€œrebuilding”.

Especially when that β€œrebuild” was triggered by your franchise defenceman and captain asking out.

Actions speak louder than words.

The last thing we heard was β€œhybrid retool” after a 4 game winning streak. There’s nothing out there suggesting they want to get serious about trading any non-UFA veteran.

A failure to do so means you’re β€œrebuilding” to get right back to the mushy middle- which is what cost them Hughes.

D Petey is going down to Abbotsford. Victor Mancini has been recalled.

So too has Nikita Tolopilo, who comes up under emergency conditions following Thatcher Demko’s injury.

Even they stockpiled draft picks and weakened their roster. That’s not what the Canucks are doing.

AI is making sports fans (and hockey writing) lazy and stupid Has Logan Cooley won the NHL's Art Ross Trophy? No. Does AI have much use for the retrieval of sports statistics? Let's find out.

AI does its best to mine information from credible sources. But what if those credible sources use AI, which is prone to errors? On that and more in my latest for @dailyfaceoff.bsky.social

Sure looks like TSN/Bell Media is using AI to write summary stories attributed to β€˜TSN Staff’

So we’re clear: Logan Cooley is not a previous Art Ross winner.
