2013–14 Ukrainian revolution, Aftermath, Removal of Yanukovych
In the afternoon, the Verkhovna Rada voted 328-0 remove Yanukovich from his post and to schedule a presidential election for 25 May. This vote violated the impeachment process specified by the Ukrainian Constitution, which would have involved formally charging Yanukovych with a crime, a review of the charge by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, and a three-fourths majority vote—at least 338 votes in favor—in Parliament. Instead, Parliament declared that Yanukovych "withdrew from his duties in an unconstitutional manner" and cited "circumstances of extreme urgency" as the reason for early elections. Lawmakers then elected opposition leader Oleksandr Turchynov to be the chairman of Parliament, acting president and prime minister of Ukraine; this decision also violated the Constitution, according to which the impeached President was to be succeeded by the Prime Minister Serhiy Arbuzov.


2013–14 Ukrainian revolution, Aftermath, Removal of Yanukovych
Turchynov claimed that Yanukovych had agreed to resign as president, but after consulting with advisers, he disavowed that and even pre-recorded a resignation statement. Yanukovych said he would not resign or leave the country and called Parliament's decisions "illegal." He added, "The events witnessed by our country and the whole world are an example of a coup d'état," and compared them to the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany in the 1930s.

Following the parliamentary procedures to transfer power to the new provisional government, General Prosecutor Pshonka and Minister of Revenues and Duties Oleksandr Klymenko were stopped at the Russian border while trying to flee the country. According to the State Border Service, Yanukovych also tried to flee via a charter flight from Donetsk, but was stopped by border guards. The guards were "met by a group of armed men who offered money for flying without the proper clearance". Yanukovych then left by armored car, and his subsequent whereabouts were unknown. Former Interior Minister Zakharchenko also tried to fly out of Donetsk and was similarly turned back.

2013–14 Ukrainian revolution, Aftermath, Lustration
The law on lustration, which excluded from government most officials who had worked in the Yanukovych administration, affected up to a million people. Volodymyr Yavorsky of the Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group called it "unreasonable" and a "serious, systematic violations of human rights"—among other reasons, because it meant too many people would lose their jobs, including officials who could not be easily replaced.

On 23 February, Parliament adopted a bill to repeal the country's law on minority languages. If signed by the president, the bill would have disestablished Russian as a minority languages of Ukraine, although regions like Crimea are populated by a Russian-speaking majority. The Christian Science Monitor reported that the bill "only served to infuriate Russian-speaking regions, [who] saw the move as more evidence that the antigovernment protests in Kyiv that toppled Yanukovych's government were intent on pressing for a nationalistic agenda." Acting President Turchynov vetoed the bill on 28 February.

2013–14 United Kingdom winter floods
The 2013–2014 United Kingdom winter floods saw areas of Ireland and the United Kingdom inundated following severe storms. The south of England saw heavy rainfalls associated with these storms which caused widespread flooding, power cuts and major disruptions to transport. Economically, the worst affected areas were Somerset, Devon, Dorset and Cornwall in the south west and the Thames Valley in the south east.


2013–14 United Kingdom winter floods
The Met Office reported the storms produced the wettest 1 December to 31 January since 1876; a local authority report states the winter as a whole, from the beginning of December until the end of February, was the wettest recorded in the UK since records began in 1766. Parts of South East England received almost two and a half times the amount of rainfall that they would normally expect.


2013–14 United Kingdom winter floods
The flood phenomena ranged from coastal flooding, pluvial flooding, fluvial flooding to groundwater flooding. The flooding took over most of the Somerset Levels and saw the main railway line to Cornwall and West Devon at Dawlish severed for several weeks.


2013–14 United Kingdom winter floods, Meteorological history
A series of low pressure areas developed or formed over North America explosively deepening over the Atlantic/gulf stream before reaching the European coast. An Omega Block developed over northern Norway/Scandinavia which prevented the lows moving east over Europe, with a series of lows "dying" to the northwest of Britain and Ireland. The blocking pattern over northern Norway led to a severe drought and forest fires there in early 2014.


2013–14 United Kingdom winter floods, Impact, Coastal flooding
The period began on 5 December 2013 when a deep low pressure area moved from the Atlantic over Scotland and the North Sea inducing a storm surge in the Irish Sea and North Sea coasts of the United Kingdom. In the North Sea some of the highest level tides were recorded in the Humber and Thames estuaries, exceeding levels which occurred during the disastrous North Sea flood of 1953. Flooding occurred in Tyneside, Teesside, along the Yorkshire coast, around the Humber and the Wash, where in particular the town of Boston, Lincolnshire was badly affected by when the high tide overtopped defences.


2013–14 United Kingdom winter floods, Impact, Coastal flooding

The only railway that runs south-west of Exeter was severed on 3 February when a 165 ft (50 m) section of the Riviera Line track was damaged at Dawlish. Network Rail said it had pulled all repair staff away from working on washed away track on 4 February. A section of the town's sea wall was later reported to have washed away among with the track. A Network Rail spokesman estimated "hundreds of tonnes" of ballast had been dislodged from under tracks after they had "taken a real pounding from the sea". In a press release, First Great Western had initially said the line would only be closed until Wednesday as a result of the "poor weather conditions", but this was extended the until the end of the week.

A landslip on the West of England Main Line at Crewkerne led to Somerset cutting off Exeter's railways (apart from the Tarka Line to Barnstaple in its county) on 8 February. Repairs were initially expected to take a week, but an inspection found the track was safe for slow moving trains. The line re-opened and a limited service was restored on 9 February after signalling problems were resolved. The alternative route along the Bristol to Exeter line was flooded on the Somerset Levels for longer.

The village of Thorney was abandoned and Muchelney cut off. Northmoor Green, which is more commonly known as Moorland was also severely affected. It was said that the government had not been quick enough to react and provide assistance to flooded communities. Flood relief activities included the use of rescue boats and the army. High volume pumps were brought in from the Netherlands and installed at several points to try to relieve the flooding. Prince Charles and several senior politicians visited the area.

Many residents in Wraysbury and Datchet berated the bank-damaging flows admitted into the Jubilee River, an anabranch for Windsor and Maidenhead. They blamed this sluice-controlled flow for augmenting the Thames which caused them flooding.

A Surrey County Council investigation report states the winter as a whole, from the beginning of December until the end of February, was the wettest recorded in the UK since records began in 1766. Parts of South East England received almost two and a half times the amount of rainfall that they would normally expect.


2013–14 United Kingdom winter floods, Impact, Inland flooding, Thames Valley
For two days in February, the River Ash flooded at least 80 homes, their grounds, garages and/or outbuildings in Staines-upon-Thames. Slow flow into the swollen Thames created flooding pinchpoints of two Colne distributaries into the Staines Aqueduct owned by Thames Water which briefly burst its banks. The latter said it had been following an existing three-party protocol. The EA replaced its inadequate sluice quickly. The Council's resultant section 19 Report was published on 20 April 2015.


2013–14 United Kingdom winter floods, Impact, Inland flooding, Thames Valley
It states "the primary source of flooding that contributed to this flooding incident was fluvial in nature; the Environment Agency is the lead on managing fluvial flood risk... The EA owns and operates a sluice gate which controls flow from River Colne to the River Ash. This...is designed to ensure there is always a base flow in the River Ash to maintain the ecosystem of the river. This sluice gate adjusts automatically to send flow into the River Ash as needed. In the February event the EA overrode the automatic settings on this gate to control flooding.


2013–14 United Kingdom winter floods, Impact, Inland flooding, Thames Valley
On 9 February (morning), EA reported that the Hythe End intake gates to the Aqueduct were fully closed. And that from this point, the Aqueduct was being fed solely with floodwater originating from the County Ditch and Wraysbury River. Thames Water increased the pumping rate from 270 million litres-a-day to 350 million litres-a-day from its Birch Green pumping station in an attempt to control flood levels. On 9 February, according to the EA, they asked Thames Water to close the Moor Lane sluice gate, which is located on the Aqueduct.


2013–14 United Kingdom winter floods, Impact, Inland flooding, Thames Valley
Thames Water claimed to have no record of receiving that request and as a consequence, the gate was not closed... ... the Aqueduct had partially collapsed while causing significant damage. LLFA Surrey County Council had no direct flood risk management functions during the event. [ M]odelling work due...by the EA...will inform more robust water management measures in the future.

2013–14 Valencia CF season
The 2013–14 season was Valencia Club de Fútbol's 96th in existence and the club's 27th consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football.


2013–14 Valencia CF season
Valencia endured its worst domestic season since 2007–08, following a serious hamstring injury to star goalkeeper Diego Alves. Contrary to the previous four seasons under the guidance of Unai Emery, Mauricio Pellegrino, Ernesto Valverde and Miroslav Đukić, Valencia's offence malfunctioned, and in December, Đukić was fired by the club, with successful former San Lorenzo coach Juan Antonio Pizzi taking over.


2013–14 Valencia CF season
With Pizzi at the helm, Valencia managed to salvage some respectability by reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League, where they were eliminated by eventual champions Sevilla. Following that narrow defeat, Valencia failed to qualify to Europe for the next season for the first time since 1997–98 due to a lowly eighth-place finish in La Liga. In June 2014, the club was sold to Singaporean consortium Peter Lim.


2013–14 Valencia CF season, Season summary
Valencia continued its increasingly frustrating run without the league title, which was extended to ten years following a chaotic season. Coach Miroslav Đukić was fired when the side did not perform to the expected level, and the season saw a further two coaches (Nicolás Estévez and Juan Antonio Pizzi) trying to lead Valencia without much success. Under Pizzi's reign, Valencia recorded a surprise 3–2 victory over Barcelona at Camp Nou in February and a 2–2 draw against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in May. Despite the chaos, the side managed to reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League, where it lost to eventual champions Sevilla.

2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season
The 2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season was the franchise's 44th season in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Canucks missed the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since the 2007–08 season, ending their five-year playoff streak. In addition, the team recorded its worst regular season since the 1999–2000 season. Head coach John Tortorella, who had been hired in the pre-season, was fired.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season
In addition to hiring Tortorella in the off-season, for financial reasons the decision was made to retain goaltender Roberto Luongo instead of Cory Schneider. As a result, along with a reduced salary cap, the team was unable to pursue top free agents signing a number of restricted and unrestricted free agents instead.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season
The team had won their division five years in a row previously, and had finished first in the entire league twice in the last three seasons. With the addition of a new head coach, and players such as Brad Richardson, both management and fans were optimistic that the team could be a Stanley Cup contender.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season
The team was inconsistent, playing well in October and December, but badly in November. In January the team's situation worsened. Tortorella's bombastic approach began to wear on team members, and top performers like Alex Burrows, Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin were failing to score goals. Things deteriorated as the year progressed. Goaltender Roberto Luongo became disgruntled with a lack of playing time and forced a trade in March, while the team continued to fall in the standings. general manager Mike Gillis was fired in April. Vancouver ended the season finishing sixth last overall out of thirty teams. This finish allowed the team to select sixth overall at the 2014 Entry Draft, the lowest the Canucks had selected since 1999 when the team selected second and third overall.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Off-season
Vancouver's off-season began after they were eliminated in the first round of the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs by the San Jose Sharks. Two weeks later, on May 22, 2013, the Canucks fired head coach Alain Vigneault, as well as assistant coaches Rick Bowness and Newell Brown. Following Vigneault's departure, general manager Mike Gillis conducted head coach interviews with John Stevens, Glen Gulutzan, Dallas Eakins, Scott Arniel, and John Tortorella. There was speculation that former New York Rangers head coach John Tortorella would be hired by the Canucks after he was spotted arriving at the Vancouver Airport on June 21.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Off-season
His hiring was confirmed on June 25, when he was formally introduced to Vancouver media. Coincidentally, a few days earlier, the Rangers had hired Vigneault to become Tortorella's successor as head coach of the Rangers. Glen Gulutzan was later hired as an assistant coach, as was Mike Sullivan who had been an assistant under Tortorella with the Rangers.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Off-season
Another major off-season issue was the goaltending situation. Given that the salary cap for the 2013–14 season would be reduced by $6 million from the 2012–13 season, there was speculation that the Canucks would be unable to hold onto both goaltenders Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider. Trade rumours centred around the 34-year-old Luongo, despite the fact that his contract carried an annual cap hit of $5.33 million, and was set to expire at the end of the 2021–22 season. In the end, Luongo's contract made him too expensive to trade. Schneider left Vancouver in a deal with the New Jersey Devils, in exchange for their first-round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft which was used to select Bo Horvat.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Off-season
With a shrinking salary cap the Canucks had limited funds to sign new players. Vancouver could not afford to pursue top end free agents like Jarome Iginla or Nathan Horton. Instead they signed less costly restricted free agents Dale Weise, Jordan Schroeder, Kellan Lain and Christopher Tanev, as well as unrestricted free agent players Brad Richardson, Yannick Weber and Mike Santorelli. The Canucks also signed unrestricted free agent Andrew Alberts, after his previous contract with the Canucks had expired at the end of the 2012–13 season.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Off-season
Richardson was brought on as center for one of the bottom two lines in a checking role, and to provide the team with another reliable face-off man. Alberts and Weber were competing in the pre-season for the sixth defenceman spot. Weber was also seen as a possible power play contributor as a right-handed defenceman with a hard shot, potentially playing a role similar to that of former Canuck Sami Salo. Santorelli was not expected to make the team initially, but would add depth to the Canucks new American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Utica Comets instead.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Off-season, Training camp
At the start of training camp Tortorella promised to make changes to the way the Canucks played. He wanted to make the team tougher to play against. Some of the techniques he felt would accomplish this were hard forechecking, protecting the puck, being strong along the boards, and increasing shot blocking. The Canucks finished the 2012–13 season as the 27th ranked team in blocked shots while the Rangers finished sixth. Tortorella also said that he would use the Sedin twins to kill penalties.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Off-season, Training camp
The Sedins had asked Vigneault to be used on the penalty kill, but he opted to keep them rested for their offensive role instead. Upon learning that they would be killing penalties Henrik Sedin said: "It's something that I think is a big part of becoming a great player. You have to be on the ice for all situations. For us, we were counted upon to score goals, and if we didn't, then we were terrible. I think you grow as players when you play all situations." Tortorella put the Canucks through a physically demanding training camp. Players were asked to run two miles in 12 minutes and were put through a series of intense skating drills. Tortorella believed he could learn about his players when they were exhausted and asked them to give a little more.

For the second consecutive year, goaltending was a focus of training camp. After choosing to keep Luongo, the team did not hear from him. He had fired his longtime agent, and hired new representation. This development set off speculation that Luongo would not report to training camp and would try to force a trade. Shortly after the change in representation, his new agents announced that Luongo would attend training camp. In his first interview following the Schneider trade, Luongo stated that he had looked into voiding his contract, but he planned to honor it, and wanted to re-establish himself as an elite goaltender.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Off-season, Training camp
The Canucks had two competitors for the back-up goaltender position, Eddie Lack and Joacim Eriksson. Lack had been seen as the heir apparent for the back-up role, but following a season-ending injury after playing only 12 games in the AHL, his future was called into question. Eriksson was signed to a two-year, two-way, entry level contract with the Canucks in the off-season after helping Skellefteå AIK to the Swedish Hockey League championship. Though neither player had any NHL experience, Lack was seen as the front runner because of his one-way contract, which paid him the same at the NHL or AHL level.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Preseason
At the start of preseason, Vancouver hoped to add six young rookies to the team. While the goaltending situation almost assured that one rookie would be added, forwards Hunter Shinkaruk, Brendan Gaunce, Nicklas Jensen, and Horvat were also attempting to make the team. Defenceman Frank Corrado was looking to secure a regular spot after he played the final three regular season, and four playoff games for the Canucks in 2012–13. When asked about adding youngsters to the line-up Tortorella stated: "We're not going to force it, but we need to get some kids in our lineup." In Vancouver's first preseason game Shinkaruk and Gaunce scored goals, while Lack stopped 25 of 27 shots in two periods of work. Vancouver lost the game 3–2 to San Jose as the Sharks out shot the Canucks 42–15.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Preseason
Two games later, they played the Edmonton Oilers. Winger David Booth was scheduled to return to the line-up for the first time since an ankle injury ended his previous season in March. During the morning practice he suffered a groin injury but returned for the game. Jordan Schroeder became the first casualty of shot blocking suffering a hairline fracture in his foot after being struck by a Nail Yakupov shot. Jensen was checked hard into the boards and sustained a shoulder injury. Dale Weise delivered a check to Taylor Hall striking the Oilers' forward in the head.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Preseason
Hall later said that the hit was "probably a mistake on both parts" and "I have to have my head up". Hall was uninjured on the play and stayed in the game. The hit was reviewed by the NHL's Senior Vice President, and disciplinarian, Brendan Shanahan who suspended Weise for the remaining three games of the preseason. Later in the game Zack Kassian attempted to deliver a body check to Sam Gagner, who made a hard stop to avoid contact. Kassian began a spin move while swinging his stick towards Gagner, lost his balance so that it hit Gagner's head.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Preseason
He suffered a broken jaw, eventually missing the first 13 games of the season. Kassian was assessed a double minor penalty for high sticking. In a post game interview, Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins called the action "a disturbing play by a disturbing player". During his disciplinary review of the play, Shanahan said that he accepted Kassian's claim that he did not intend to strike Gagner in the head, but that he was responsible for his actions. He suspended Kassian for eight games – the remaining three pre-season, and five regular season games.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Preseason
With one week remaining in the pre-season, Vancouver assigned Eriksson to the Comets, giving Lack the back-up goaltender job. Eriksson made only one appearance in the preseason and stopped all nine shots. The move was seen as a way for Eriksson to have more playing time while adjusting to the smaller ice surface in North American rinks. In the battle for the sixth defenceman spot, Alberts struggled in the preseason. In four games he registered 17 minutes in penalties, and was on the ice for eight goals against. Weber was inconsistent.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Preseason
In his first, third, and fifth games he combined for one goal and three assists, with a +4 rating (positive impact), while in his second and fourth games he recorded 1 assist and a −4 rating (negative impact). The duo struggled in the second to last preseason game against San Jose, combining for a −6 rating. Though Corrado had played well enough to be considered among the team's top eight defencemen, he was assigned to Utica to allow him more, varied ice time to help his development.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Preseason
Just prior to the Canucks' 23-man roster being set following the end of preseason, they claimed defenceman Ryan Stanton off waivers. Stanton had played only one NHL game but was brought in as a possible replacement for Alberts in order to keep a balance between right and left handed defencemen. The youth movement failed to take hold. Guance was sent back to the Belleville Bulls. Despite having a good camp, he was outplayed by fellow prospects, Horvat and Shinkaruk.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Preseason
Tortorella felt Gaunce needed to improve the tempo and the pace of his game and he would benefit from playing more minutes. Due to the injuries and suspensions, it appeared that Horvat and Shinkaruk would start the season with the Canucks. However, just days before the roster was set, Vancouver acquired forwards Zac Dalpe and Jeremy Welsh from the Carolina Hurricanes. Following the trade Horvat was sent back to the London Knights, Shinkaruk remained with the team, but was returned to the Medicine Hat Tigers to make room for Stanton.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Preseason
As with the rest of the prospects, Vancouver was pleased with their play, but wanted to do what was best for their development. Helping to make the decision to return the prospects to their junior teams was the emergence of Mike Santorelli who had a strong camp, where he was one of Vancouver's best forwards. He earned Tortorella's trust and was played in all situations helping him to make the team.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, October
Vancouver opened the season in San Jose. Jason Garrison, a member of the top power play unit, scored a goal to give the Canucks the lead. Vancouver eventually lost 4–1. Having Garrison play with the top unit was seen as a change in philosophy from the previous season. He was originally brought in to help with the Cauncks inconsistent power play, however he was played sparingly with the top unit and the team finished 22nd of 30 in the League for power play percentage.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, October
During the game, Alexandre Burrows blocked a slap shot on a penalty kill, and suffered a hair line fracture to his foot, forcing him to miss 12 games. The Canucks earned Tortorella his first win as head coach with a 6–2 victory over Edmonton in the second game of the season. Lack made his NHL debut in the third game against the Calgary Flames. Tortorella altered his lines to get the team going, including splitting up Henrik and Daniel Sedin, something rarely done by Vigneault. The Canucks eventually won the game 5–4 in overtime on a Santorelli goal. Despite giving up four goals, Lack earned praise for his performance.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, October
Following the Calgary game, Vancouver faced off with the New Jersey Devils. The game was the first match-up of Luongo versus Schneider. Both goaltenders tried to downplay it, though Schneider admitted he was trying to outplay Luongo. Vancouver won the game in overtime with a second straight, game-winning goal by Santorelli. Vancouver played San Jose on October 10, again losing 4–1. During the game Alexander Edler hit San Jose rookie Tomáš Hertl's head, knocking his helmet off.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, October
Hertl was not hurt, and no penalty was called on the play, but Edler was suspended for three games the following day for the hit. The NHL Department of Player Safety deemed the hit illegal, as the principle point of contact was with the head. The length of the suspension was increased because Edler was a repeat offender. Tortarella believed that the suspension caused Edler to be more tentative defensively for the rest of the season. Vancouver lost the next home game before starting a seven-game road trip, their longest of the season.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, October
The Canucks were down in first game of the trip against the Philadelphia Flyers, when Tortarella split up the Sedin twins leading to a comeback win for Vancouver. While the Canucks were finding ways to win, their power play produced only two goals in 20 opportunities. This left the team's power play ranked twenty-seventh of thirty following the game in Philadelphia. While the Sedin twins practiced on separate lines following successful stints apart from each other, ultimately second line centre Ryan Kesler was moved to right wing to join them on the top line.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, October
In their next game against the Buffalo Sabres, Roberto Luongo made 25 saves helping Vancouver to a 3–0 win. It was Luongo's 63rd career shutout, giving him sole possession of fifteenth place for all-time shutouts, breaking the tie with Turk Broda. The Canucks lost their next two games, before recording three straight wins finishing with a 5–1–1 record - the most successful road trip in team history.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, October
The winning streak moved the Canucks into a first place tie in the Pacific Division with San Jose. Kesler recorded six goals and three assists on the trip which helped him earn the NHL's Third Star of the Week Award. Vancouver split their final two games finishing the month with a 9–5–1 record, putting them in fourth place in the division, three points behind San Jose. Although the Canucks were competitive, concerns were raised that the lengthy amount of ice time Tortarella was giving his top players would wear them down as the season progressed. Kesler and the Sedin twins led the league in total ice time among forwards, but trailed Sidney Crosby in terms of average ice time for forwards.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, November
On the first day of November, Vancouver signed the Sedin twins to matching four-year $28.5 million contract extensions. Before the first game of the month on November, Vancouver honoured Pavel Bure by retiring his jersey number 10. He had played seven seasons in Vancouver, scoring 254 goals, including back-to-back 60-goal seasons. He won the Calder Memorial Trophy as NHL Rookie of the Year as a Canuck, and was an integral part of the team's 1994 Stanley Cup Finals run. In addition,  the team also changed the name of one of its year end team awards from the Most Exciting Player Award to the Pavel Bure Most Exciting Player Award. Bure called it a "great night", adding: "It's probably the biggest honor you can get. I'm really pleased."


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, November
Vancouver won the game 4–0, with their second goal coming on a power play, the fifth of the season. The power play continued to be a struggle with the Canucks ranked twenty-eight in the league. During the game, Burrows taunted Maple Leafs' forward Phil Kessel, by making slashing motions with his stick – a reference to an altercation Kessel had with John Scott earlier in the season. This taunting led to a scuffle and both players received major penalties for fighting. Leafs' forward Dave Bolland was injured after a hit by Kassian.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, November
While finishing his check, Kassian's skate came off the ice, sliced Bolland's ankle, cutting a tendon. After the game, Kassian said that he felt it was a clean hit but added: "Obviously, people are going to talk especially with my suspension before. But there's nothing there". Toronto's GM Dave Nonis noted that the injury was accidental. Following the Toronto game, Vancouver set out on a four-game division road trip.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, November
There was a belief that the Canucks' road trip performance would indicate how the team would ultimately finish in the Pacific Division. Before the first game against the Phoenix Coyotes, Vancouver made some personnel changes. Booth was assigned to Utica on a conditioning assignment to help strengthen his groin, and to get more ice time to help him get up to game speed. Dalpe was called up to replace Booth after his own conditioning stint. The power play set-up was changed to four forwards and one defenceman, raising questions about Tortarella's decision to use Dan Hamhuis as the lone defenceman.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, November
Hamhuis was known more as a shutdown defender and did not have one of the Canucks more powerful shots from the point. Vancouver led before giving up the tying goal with just over a minute remaining. The game went to a shootout where Phoenix took the lead; Henrik Sedin had a chance to tie, but lost control of the puck and did not register a shot. Sedin did however, extend his point streak to a career-long 12 games and Hamhuis scored a power play goal. With the power play conversion, the Canucks were still twenty-sixth in the league at 10.9 percent.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, November
Two days later the Canucks defeated San Jose, breaking a nine-game losing streak with the Sharks. Vancouver lost the final two games of the trip with a combined 8–2 score. Henrik Sedin went scoreless in the final three games of the trip, posting a –5 rating, and was demoted to the second line. Returning home, the Canucks fared no better, losing five of six games and posting a 1–2–3 record. In all five losses the Canucks were tied or leading the game in the third period.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, November
Before the team's November 28 game in Ottawa, Totarella challenged Luongo to make more saves at important times during the game to help Vancouver win. He also moved Kesler back to center after he had failed to score an even strength goal in 12 games. During the game Daniel Sedin scored his 300th career goal becoming the third player in franchise history to reach this mark, behind Markus Naslund and Trevor Linden.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, November
In the final game of the month Vancouver played the Rangers and former coach Alain Vigneault. Daniel Sedin said of the game: "I know our former coach is over there, but once you get into the game you're not going to think too much about it. He was with us for seven years and he meant a lot to this franchise, so it's going to be fun seeing him again but once the game gets going we want the two points, and so does he".


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, November
Tortarella stated: "I'm not going to lie, it's a little weird for me coming back, but once the game starts, it's about playing and trying to find a way to get a win". The Canucks lost the game 5–2, finishing the month with 31 points, four points out of the final playoff spot.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, December through February
During December, the team won seven straight games beginning with a 6–2 victory over the Boston Bruins. They finished the month with a 10–1–2 record. Starting goaltender Roberto Luongo was injured during a 2–1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets. Eddie Lack was the starting goalie for the rest of December.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, December through February
The team started to struggle in January after losing to the Philadelphia Flyers at the end of December. Luongo managed to recover from his injury and played in the game against the Los Angeles Kings. But he was injured again when Dustin Brown scored and crashed into him, and was unable to play for six games. Eddie Lack struggled, posting a 1–3–2 record. On January 15, the Canucks lost 9–1 to the Anaheim Ducks, the worst scoring game of the season. Henrik Sedin was injured during the next game.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, December through February
On January 18, the Canucks played the Calgary Flames, a game which featured a first period brawl. Between periods, John Tortorella attempted to enter the Flames' dressing room, an act that resulted in the NHL suspending him for 15 days. Bob Hartley, the Flames' coach, was fined over the incident. Mike Sullivan took over from Tortorella as coach, but the team posted a losing record of 2–4–0 for the rest of January.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, December through February
Tortorella returned for the first game in February. The Canucks lost to the Detroit Red Wings. Subsequently, the team lost 4 straight games which result in a 7-game losing streak when combined with the last two games in January. This was the team's worst losing streak since the 1990s.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, December through February
The Canucks ended their losing streak against the St. Louis Blues, but lost to the Minnesota Wild a few days later. Eddie Lack started both games, posting a 1–0–1 record, which convinced John Tortorella to start him in the 2014 Heritage Classic.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, March
During the Heritage Classic game the Canucks led 2–0, but ultimately lost 4–2. When they were down 3–2, fans were chanting: "We Want Lu!" (Luongo). During post-game interviews Tortorella said that it was his choice to play Lack. On March 4, Luongo was traded to the Florida Panthers in exchange for Shawn Matthias and Jacob Markstrom. Lack started in goal for the rest of March. On March 10, Vancouver was leading the Islanders 3–0 after two periods. The Islanders then scored seven goals in the third period, leading to a 7–4 Vancouver loss.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, March
This was the Canucks' worst single period of play since one in 1999 against the Red Wings. On March 16, the Canucks faced Roberto Luongo and the Florida Panthers for the first time since he had been traded. The Canucks won 4–3 in a shoot out. With playoff hopes fading quickly near the end of March, Vancouver then posted a three-game winning streak between March 20 and March 26. The streak came to an end with a loss to the Colorado Avalanche. Vancouver lost to the Anaheim Ducks in the last game of the month.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, April
On April 1, Alain Vigneault returned to Vancouver with the New York Rangers. The Rangers won 3–1, damaging the Canucks' playoff hopes. A few days later, Mike Gillis was interviewed on TSN 1040 radio. He said, "I am not sure I'll be back next season." On April 7, in a game which saw the Ducks up 3–0 against the Canucks with three minutes remaining in the game, fans starting chanting "Fire Gillis". The loss officially ended Vancouver's five-year playoff streak. Gillis was fired the next day.


2013–14 Vancouver Canucks season, Regular season, April
Trevor Linden, a former Canucks winger, replaced Gillis as president of hockey operations, though the team still needed to find a new general manager. After 19-straight starts, Lack was replaced in goal by Jacob Markstrom for the final three games. On April 12, after a 5–2 loss to the Oilers, Ryan Smyth announced his retirement. On the last day of the regular season, Daniel Sedin was hit by Paul Byron and left the ice on a stretcher with minor injuries. The Canucks went on to win 5–1. The Canucks ended the 2013–14 season with a 36–35–11 record.
