Wagner’s Weekly: Is Canucks’ Jim Rutherford pulling off a stealth tank? Despite an against-all-odds win against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday night, the Vancouver Canucks are still in dire straits.   They’re 31st in the NHL standings, have some of the worst underlying statistics in the league, trade rumours are surrounding their captain, and, pending an MRI, they might be adding Elias Pettersson to their list…

Wagner’s Weekly: Is Canucks’ Jim Rutherford pulling off a stealth tank?

I Watched This Game: Canucks vs Wild, Dec 6, 2025 The one where Aatu Räty was the next man up for Elias Pettersson.

Aatu Räty was the next man up for Elias Pettersson, and he delivered his best game of the season. #Canucks

IWTG is up.

No no, I got it, I just wanted to repost an article I was happy with. I was being selfish.

What happens to the hats after a Canucks hat trick? Pius Suter and Brock Boeser scoring back-to-back hat tricks raises the question: what do the Canucks do with all the hats that are thrown on the ice?

I mean, I wrote about the hats... www.vancouverisawesome.com/canucks-hock...

This is a weird version of trickle-down economics I've never heard before.

Räty had a goal disallowed for kicking the puck in, which I would argue was the wrong call. Then he scored two goals that counted.

They said upper-body injury at the beginning of the broadcast.

Throw your imaginary hats on the ice. #Canucks

The Abby Canucks are also 3-1 up at Rogers

See, this is why you should always have a second Elias Pettersson in case of emergencies. #Canucks

who needs Elias Pettersson when you have Elias Pettersson

Gooooooaaaaallllll!!!!!!!

Willander with his first in the NHL!

#Canucks

Love Åman losing his stick, then retrieving it just in time to score. That's a fun goal even before the teddy bears start flying.

Had to start the #Canucks game late, so just found out that Elias Pettersson is injured.

But man, just wait until they get Teddy Blueger and Nils Höglander back from injury.

The #Goldeneyes were happy to be back home at the Pacific Coliseum, as Emerance Maschmeyer made franchise history with the first-ever Goldeneyes shutout. passittobulis.substack.com/p/goldeneyes...

The #Canucks were all over the Mammoth like woolly brown hair, but they couldn't get enough pucks past Karel Vejmelka.

Brutal is maybe a little harsh for a guy who went 9-and-13.

He had a strong game, could definitely make that case. The lack of finish hurts, though.

Don't win-ah for McKenna?

That was the #Canucks' fastball. I don't think they could've played much better. They still lost 4-1.

Linus Karlsson is the wrongest I have ever been about a player. Saw the heavy feet and simply didn't see an NHL future. The skating made me overlook his significant strengths. #Canucks

FIFA's "peace prize" looking like a bunch of demons dragging Earth into the pits of Hell is maybe a *little* too on-the-nose.

this shit is just beyond parody, man

Goldeneyes show positive signs in shutout loss to Fleet The Vancouver Goldeneyes bounced back after a brutal first period, but couldn't find a way past Boston Fleet goaltender Aerin Frankel.

After a lopsided first period, the #Goldeneyes showed some positive signs in Wednesday's game against the Fleet, but they couldn't find a way past Aerin Frankel.

Might be odd to say after a shutout loss where they were outshot 31-to-21, but that was the #Goldeneyes strongest game of the road trip, and they showed some encouraging signs as they head back to Vancouver for a four-game homestand.

The #Goldeneyes have been so good since the first period and were pushing hard here in the third, but Saulnier capitalizes on a bobbled puck by Jaques and extends the lead to 2-0.

That's a tough goal to give up, because Aerin Frankel looks nigh-impossible to beat at the Fleet end of the ice.
