Vancouver -
The subject of goaltending and the Vancouver Canucks is proving to be giving scribes enough material to last the off-season. Already there has been more column inches devoted to it than there were suspensions handed out this past year.

Vancouver -
While Roberto Luongo's coach confirmed his goalie wants out of Vancouver, the GM of a team many thought he might wind up on has suggested he doesn't want him. Of course whether the Tampa Bay Lightning's Steve Yzerman means it is another thing.

Police have released details of the autopsy on a body found last week on Bowen Island and it is not that of a missing teenaged girl. There was speculation around Bowen that the decomposed body might be that of Jodi Henrickson but it is a male.

For now the Hockey Gods, the capricious givers of hockey success, clearly favor Dustin Brown. Despite a Raffi Torres-like hit in round 1 and channeling Brad 'Cheapshot' Marchant in round 3, Brown has bowled his way through these playoffs unscathed.

The numbers from a new poll on the 2012 race for the U.S. Presidency released Tues., May 22 are a bit surprising. While it's not surprising Barack Obama has the lead overall, it arguably is unexpected for him to be tied with Mitt Romney on the economy.

Justin Bieber and manager Scooter Braun likely talked and decided when to release the track list, with duets, for his album 'Believe'. The date came over the weekend as they released the names of 16 songs but it's unclear if all the duets are listed.

At this time in his albeit still young career, Justin Bieber has been the winner of countless awards, in North America and beyond. But the 18-year-old Canadian seems to genuinely care for the awards like the one he won at the MGM Grand on Sunday.

While Vancouver Canucks GM Mike Gillis said on a Hockey Night in Canada radio interview that keeping both his goalies is a "distinct possibility" and Cory Schneider's agent said much the same thing, don't believe them. They're both faking.

The Costa Concordia will be the largest ship to be refloated in maritime history. Work on the 114,500 tonnes of cruise liner, which hit rocks off the coast of the island of Giglio Jan. 13 and sunk, is set to begin and plans to do so were unveiled Friday.

Look, I know it makes sense to save cap space and stop all the endless fan complaints about Roberto Luongo by trading the gold-medal goalie. It just might be time. But bear with me on this because there's a far more pressing trade that needs be made.

Justin Bieber added another accolade, of sorts, to his list when he was named Wednesday as the planet's third most powerful celebrity on the Forbes Top 100 Powerful Celebrity List. Last year the Canadian pop singer debuted on the list in the same spot.
