Exclusive - Rick Rypien out partying in the Lower Mainland
- Rick Rypien, the son of Golden Gloves boxer Wes Rypien, was spotted out January 11, 2011 partying like the proverbial rockstar at Baseline's Pub in Langley! Sources say he started a tab and paid for everything and they stayed at the pub drinking and carousing well after the establishment closed. While I have been guilty a time or two having fun when I've called in sick to work, I, as a supremely loyal and avid Canucks fan, would like to see our mobile, rarely disputed pound-for-pound best fighter in the NHL back on skates... Take your time Rick (I guess), by all accounts you're a good man...
- Roberto Luongo, fresh off his All-Star snub, takes sole possession of the Canucks all-time wins without a regulation loss streak record at 11 games. A mere week after Cory Schneider, he of the incredible unbeaten season, tied the record, he now he stands alone atop the Canucks goalie hierarchy... Verrrrry niiiiiice...
- Our boys keep rolling along and have taken a strangle hold on first place in the league with a 3 point lead over Philly and Detroit with a game in hand over the latter. We also enjoy a 12 point cushion over Colorado for first in the Northwest Division which all but ensures us of finishing no worse than 3rd in the Western Conference. aka the Canucks are winning and doing it in a myriad of different ways: come from behind, dominating, battling, in cruise control, seemingly effortlessly... let's just hope they can tighten up for the playoffs and the man-to-man match ups that dominate each series. Something tells me Raffi Torres isn't going to get bounced around as much as Kyle Wellwood (who just might be a St. Louis Blue by that time) and Manny Malholtra will have the edge on intimidation over nice guy Ryan Johnson (who we may meet this summer wearing the hideous Blackhawks red)

Let's plan the Stanley Cup parade route now!!
- Cory Schneider will attempt to join the Canucks record books along with the likes of Kirk McLean, Dan Cloutier, Cesare Maniago and Richard Brodeur if he can pull away another victory tonight and start the season with 10 straight games and no regulation losses. Gingers everywhere rejoice because you have a new role model!
- The bigger question is how much better will Roberto Luongo be if he can continue to get days off without stress, if he can continue to shirk small, unimportant duties like skating around after a first star selection, if he can continue to give the media 2 minutes after games instead of 20... That remains to be seen, but my thought is he'll excel in the playoffs even though just yesterday he admitted he "can't honestly say he felt tired in the playoffs the previous years." Well you looked it...
- Our Canucks take on the Oilers in 2 hours, stay tuned for the postgame celebration... Yes folks these Oilers suck and, without their best player Ryan Whitney, they will lose... Mourn them if you'd like

Canucks rumoured to be interested in Iginla - posted by Scott Allan
Where did I hear this rumour you may ask? Well... I started it! But beside that fact it's safe to say ALL teams have an interest in Iginla. As a matter of fact I ran a possible trade scenario by my brother, a transplanted Calgarian who has jumped on the Flames bandwagon after departing the Metro Vancouver area(disgusting I agree), Burrows, Raymond and Bieksa for Iggy! Talk amongst yourselves...
