The month of January ended with the Canucks beginning their Road Trip From Hell on Hockey Day In Canada, as well as the latest Canucks Week That Was! Find out all you need to know regarding what went on this past week after the jump!

Another horribly late postscript. I apologize. My move from Toronto to Calgary has drained the hell out of me so I’m just getting things sorted out. I basically passed out after the game last night and had to run around doing errands today, hence the superlate post. I’m hoping things will be totally sorted come Saturday. We’ll see…

Lots to talk about this week, both on ice and off. Olympic nominations! The World Juniors! Off-ice shenanigans! Oh yes, and the Canucks also played a couple of games as well. While everyone was out celebrating Christmas and Festivus, I was staying on top of things in Canuckland. Here’s what you need to know about the Week That Was.

This was sort of a lazy week for me (and presumably most of you folks out there!) There was Christmas, naturally, but also travel concerns cramping my style and making it so that I couldn’t write as much as I wanted to. No plugs and also a condensed look at the Canucks. A little heavier on commentary than straight up news. I’ll try to balance it out for next week.

Canucks ‘Blue’ Chance At Eighth Seed In Ugly Affair

Fans in Vancouver will undoubtedly be angry at Mike Leggo and the on-ice officiating in tonight’s game against the St. Louis Blues, who defeated them 3-1 on game 6 of their 8 game homestand. I am of course referring to the poor decision against Alex Burrows that would’ve put the Canucks within one goal of the Blues midway through the third period. Or maybe it was the lack of a double minor against Burrows after he was decked in the mouth and required stitches. Or the fact that the referees were calling anything and everything in the first and then inexplicably decided to put their whistles away for the rest of the game.
