Writing about the Canucks since 1991. Now also talking about them for Sportsnet TV and radio. And I still don't have to work for a living.

VANCOUVER -- Normally, I ask the questions. But I’ve got to give readers and followers credit for the slew of sharp or fun (or both) questions that were submitted for Sportsnet’s annual Canucks season-ending mailbag. Hopefully, next year’s mailbag will be in June. Thank you to everyone for participating and, as always, riding along with me during the season. I knew there would be Elias Pettersson questions and a few about ice cream, but the response to Scottish castles was especially impressive.

VANCOUVER — Through good times and bad, upheaval and serenity, through plot twists and crises and what sometimes feels like limitless disappointment, the Vancouver Canucks can at least guarantee us the sturdy certainty of losing the draft lottery. Or at least the National Hockey League (or hockey gods) can guarantee us that.

VANCOUVER — Had he stayed as Vancouver Canucks coach, Rick Tocchet planned to visit Sweden this summer to spend time with Elias Pettersson in order to strengthen their relationship and set expectations for next season. Tocchet’s decision this week to leave ensured it never came down to a choice between the coach and the player whose conditioning and underachievement were among the many factors that sank the team.

VANCOUVER – The Vancouver Canucks are about to have their fourth coach in less than four years, but they've had only 21 of them since joining the National Hockey League in 1970. Still, as far as we know, Rick Tocchet is the first one to leave by choice when his superiors badly wanted him to stay. And that alone should give the organization pause. This entire season has been hard in Vancouver, sabotaged by key injuries, drama and underperformance.

VANCOUVER — The lack of a practice facility has long cost the Vancouver Canucks franchise some prestige and lustre around the National Hockey League. It would be embarrassing if it also cost them a successful head coach. Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman’s report on his 32 Thoughts podcast that the absence of a practice rink is a concern for Rick Tocchet, who met with Canucks management Friday night, shined at least a sliver of light on the holdup of a new contract for the head coach.
