Cooking and Chemistry - Oct. 7, 2024

Although the 2024-25 NHL Season starts this week, Patrik Allvin has been busy cooking up a few tidy bits of business in the Vancouver Canucks kitchen. Anna & Chris discuss the moves, guess at who may come (back) on the waiver wire, and chat about the chemistry we've seen from a few of the players - new & old - on the roster.

Let’s Go Camping! - Sep. 23, 2024

The Vancouver Canucks opened and closed training camp in the time since we last recorded an episode, and begin their preseason slate of games starting tomorrow night. Anna & Chris react to what they've seen from camp, if they believe the Canucks did well in signing Kevin Lankinen, and whether or not a name is a good name.

Young Stars and Under Pars - Sep. 16, 2024

The Young Stars tournament is underway, the Vancouver Canucks have hit the course in the Jake Milford Golf Tournament, a goaltender will be in camp on PTO, and Anna calls Chris the enemy. If that episode rundown doesn't hit all the high notes, we're not sure what will.

To Jonny & Matty - Sep. 9, 2024

With less than two weeks to go before the start of training camp, Anna & Chris react to the "troubles" in the crease and wonder why the Vancouver Canucks can't have nice things. They also share three questions they have going into camp and do their best to answer each of them. Plus all the usual run-of-the-mill off-the-rails stuff they toss in.

Peace Be With You Podz - Aug. 26, 2024

With Vasily Podkolzin off to Edmonton, Ian Clark off the ice, and Sammy Blais signed to a PTO contract, Anna & Chris finally have real Canucks news to discuss on the show. The pair also take a look back at the Canucks draft success over the past decade and wonder if things might be a bit dire... or not.

After the Olympic Break - Aug. 12, 2024

The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris have come and gone since the last episode of the show, yet despite that there's very little Canucks news to chat about. Anna & Chris make-do, as they are apt to do, and discuss all sorts of different things. For instance, what did they enjoy most about the Olympic Games? Why are the Sushi races at Vancouver Canadians games so much fun? And what technology should they bring from elsewhere into the NHL?

Šilovs you yeah yeah yeah - Jul. 23, 2024

Arturs Šilovs signed a two year deal in what some might suggest is a tidy bit of business. They followed this up with a one year deal with Daniel Sprong, in what some might suggest is a tidy bit of business. What isn't a tidy bit of business is this off the rails episode where Anna & Chris go full Summer mode as they recap the past couple of weeks.

To Jett Woo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar - Jul 8, 2024

The Florida Panthers won the Stanley Cup. Quinn Hughes won the Norris Trophy. The Canucks drafted a few players on Day Two of the NHL Entry Draft. And the team also got themselves a Jake during free agent frenzy. Anna & Chris recap the past two weeks, share a few thoughts on the players that left and the players that arrived (and the few that stuck around), and drop an "F-word" over the NHL news mixed in amongst it all.

Canucks D gets a ReFil - Jun. 24, 2024

The Vancouver Canucks sorted out one question mark on the blue line by signing Filip Hronek to an 8-year deal. Is it too long? Is it too much? Anna & Chris consider these questions and more. A few other Canucks contracts were signed, though many question marks remain. And what a wild Stanley Cup Final it has been.

Below Deck - Jun 11, 2024

With Anna away, friend of the show Patrick Johnston - beat reporter for the Vancouver Province and Vancouver Sun - joins Chris to talk Vancouver Canucks hockey. Patrick shares his thoughts on whether the season can be replicated next year, what it might take to make it happen, and who he see the team having the most luck bringing back as they head into free agency.
