VANCOUVER — As far as their schedule goes, the worst is over. We’re pretty sure you can say the same thing about the Vancouver Canucks ’ season. The worst is over. But if they’re actually going to save their year, which would confound critics and realists alike, the Canucks are going to need a bunch more results like Tuesday’s, when they stumbled out of the National Hockey League All-Star Break before finding their feet and trampling the Arizona Coyotes 5-1 at Rogers Arena. It opened a spell of six home games out of their next seven — a starter’s gun to what will need to be a remarkable 36-game sprint to the finish line if the Canucks, 6-14-2 a couple of months ago, are really going to climb all the way back to the Stanley Cup playoffs. They’re already closer than most of us thought possible — 13-5-4 since Bruce Boudreau came in to coach the calamity. But they need to build winning streaks longer than a couple of games, taking advantage of weaklings like the Coyotes but also goin

MONTREAL — Unwatchable. That’s not what the Montreal Canadiens have become; it’s what they’ve been for the better part of this season. No matter how much time they’ve spent away — the Christmas break, the COVID break, the All-Star break — they’ve come back making you want to claw your eyes out or just avert them altogether. So, how much more can the guys who have to watch them stomach before making sweeping changes? We know, the suits on the executive floor of the Bell Centre have already tolerated so much — with the best odds at the top pick in the upcoming draft becoming more secure with each loss — but they must know that what’s happening right now could be very damaging to the future. Canadiens executive vice president of hockey operations Jeff Gorton and general manager Kent Hughes had to be thinking about that watching their team fall behind 5-1 against the New Jersey Devils before two periods of Tuesday’s game were played. Yes, those New Jersey Devils, the last-placed Met

Four years after her Olympic dream ended before it started, Canada’s Meryeta O’Dine won a bronze medal in women’s snowboard cross at the Beijing Games on Wednesday.

Of course, in this sport, absolutely anything can happen. It can be anyone’s day. I just kept on telling myself it was going to be my day today. I really worked on everything I could. I came in with a lot of vengeance definitely from the last Olympics.” O’Dine was a surprise medallist after being ranked 12th in the

| February 7, 2022, 10:10 PM February 7, 2022, 10:10 PM Canada’s Megan Oldham just missed the podium, finishing fourth in the women’s freestyle ski big air event on Tuesday at the Beijing Olympics. It marked Canada’s fifth fourth-place finish at the Olympics, keeping the country’s medal total at six on Day 4. Oldham, a 20-year-old from Parry Sound, Ont., won the qualifier for the new Olympic event on Monday. Fellow Canadian Olivia Asselin finished eighth in the final. China’s Eileen Gu, one of the host country’s biggest stars at the Games, won gold with the top score of the day on her final run — each athlete gets three attempts and the top two scores count. Tess Ledeux of France was second and Mathilde Gremaud of Switzerland was third. Oldham won silver in big air the last two years at the X Games.

The finish line is within sight, and the pace is picking up. The preparation for the NBA trade deadline begins months in advance. The league is canvassed. Moves discussed at the draft are revisited. Trade structures rigged up a year ago are resurfaced and tweaked. This goes on all season. About two weeks out from the Feb. 10 deadline lists get narrowed and possibilities get crossed off, the focus tightens to about 10 teams where there is a potential fit and a connection is conceivable, if not plausible. By the week of the deadline the focus grows narrower still, with on-going discussions taking place between pods of five or six teams. It’s generally from those conversations that trades get solidified. It doesn’t mean a deal happens. When the moment comes and one team or both get shy, the deal remains nothing more than conversation. All of which to say is the Toronto Raptors likely have a good feel for what kind of roster moves they can make between now and 3 p.m. on Thursday.

OTTAWA — The Ottawa Senators know they weren’t at their best Monday night, but thankfully Matt Murray was. The Senators goaltender stopped 32 shots in a 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils where there was little doubt about who was the best player on the night. “I think he’s the reason we won that game,” said Nick Holden, whose second period goal held up as the winner. “The first two periods, I don’t think we played very good. We gave them a lot of opportunities, but (Murray) was there to shut the door to make sure we had the lead and kept it.” Monday’s game marked the halfway mark for the Senators and in order for them to move forward they will need more such efforts from Murray. The week will be a busy one for the Senators with five games in seven nights. It also marked the start of a four-game homestand, although the Senators remain restricted to just 500 fans in Canadian Tire Centre. That being said, being able to get the week off with a win was beneficial. “To get a win i

Manchester United have spent more on transfers than any other club in Europe’s top five leagues over the past decade. United have recorded an eye-watering £903m net spend during the past 10 seasons – spending £1.3 billion and recouping £395m from player sales, according to a new study published by the Football Observatory . In terms of net expenditure, United have outspent fellow powerhouse clubs Manchester City (£826.6m), Paris Saint-Germain (£790.4m) and Barcelona (£546m) – all of whom have won five or more league titles during that period, compared with United’s sole title in 2012/13. Interestingly, Arsenal rank fifth on the list, ahead of European giants Juventus (£471.2m) and AC Milan (£362.9m), while Premier League trio Everton (£360.4m), Aston Villa (£356.2m) and Chelsea (£346.9m) complete the top 10. West Ham , Liverpool , Newcastle , Tottenham , Crystal Palace , Leicester , Brighton and Wolves also make the top 20 – reflecting the stark disparity in spending b

VANCOUVER – The most consistent thing about the Vancouver Canucks is COVID-19, which remains undefeated after two of the few remaining players untouched by the coronavirus this winter were run down by Omicron during the NHL All-Star break. One of those was star defenceman Quinn Hughes , who was added to COVID protocol on Monday as most – but not all – of his teammates resumed training at Rogers Arena. Forward Elias Pettersson , who tested positive in January, missed Monday afternoon’s practice due to what coach Bruce Boudreau said were non-COVID-related flu symptoms and defenceman Tucker Poolman continued his mysterious absence due to an undefined illness. Boudreau insisted Poolman is not suffering long-haul symptoms from his recent bout with COVID. Checking winger Matthew Highmore was the other Canuck who went into protocol on Monday, leaving – by unofficial count – only defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson and young forwards Nils Hoglander and Vasily Podkolzin untouched by Omic

Ralf Rangnick says there are “no problems” between himself and Jesse Lingard, who is included in the Manchester United squad to face Burnley on Tuesday night. Lingard was left out of Friday’s FA Cup fourth-round defeat against Middlesbrough after the United interim manager said the forward needed to take some time off to “clear up his mind”. But Lingard took to social media soon after to contradict Rangnick’s comments , insisting his “headspace is clear” despite the United board blocking him from leaving in January amid interest from Newcastle and West Ham. Despite the public disagreement, Rangnick says the pair have a “very good relationship” and the 29-year-old is now back in the squad, along with Edinson Cavani for Tuesday’s visit to Burnley in the Premier League. The club advised me to have time off due to personal reasons! But my headspace is clear and I’ll always be professional when called upon and give 100 percent — Jesse Lingard (@JesseLingard) February 3, 2022

| February 8, 2022, 12:40 AM February 8, 2022, 12:40 AM Finally in Beijing after flying across the planet, Canada’s Keegan Messing qualified for the free skate at the Beijing Olympics on Tuesday. The Canadian champion scored 93.24 in the short program to INXS’ Never Tear Us Apart. Messing finished ninth and will be one of the 24 skaters in the free skate on Thursday . American Nathan Chen ranked first of the short program with a world-record score of 113.97 to the sound of Charles Aznavour’s La Boheme. Chen has his eyes set on Olympic gold after two-time Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan dropped to eighth with a 95.15 having missed his opening quad salchow. Messing arrived in Beijing less than 48 hours before the start of the competition and could only fit a single practice on Monday morning. The 30-year-old needed to fulfil a fourth negative COVID test in Montreal before getting the green light to fly to Milan and finally land in China. The delay made him miss th

After the most hectic year of her young career — one with unending testing, a broken wrist that followed a broken humerus, and the general chaos of navigating life as an Olympic hopeful while uncertainty looms above like a storm on the mountain — the manner in which Brooke D’Hondt found out her dreams came true was surprisingly low-key. “I kind of just got an email about it,” she says with a laugh. Mellow as the delivery method might’ve been, the news relayed to her inbox in that particular message was life-altering — it informed D’Hondt she had qualified for the 2022 Winter Olympics, granting her a path to the biggest stage of her career thus far. In getting there, D’Hondt earned the unique distinction of being Canada’s youngest Olympian at the 2022 Games, the Calgarian snowboarder set to take on the half-pipe in Beijing at just 16 years old. But while the opportunity to compete against the world’s best comes early in D’Hondt’s career, the pandemic’s made her earn it all the same.

The Toronto Raptors ‘ climb up the Eastern Conference standings has been aided considerably by them playing teams they’ll be competing with for playoff seeding as the season moves into its final third. Over and over again they’ve been able to take care of business in their own yard. On Monday night the Raptors kicked off a three-game road trip and a stretch of eight road games in nine games with a visit to Charlotte, a team started the night a game-and-a-half behind the sixth-place Raptors and in ninth place. The meeting with the Hornets bookended an eight-game stretch against four Eastern Conference opponents that they played twice each. If the Raptors stumbled, it could have put their season underwater. Instead Toronto took full advantage of the schedule quirk and won their sixth straight game and seventh in the eight as they held the potent Hornets to 12.6 points under their season scoring average in a 116-101 win. The win improved their record to 29-23 and moved them within
