Podcast Wars: The Truce - Mar. 15, 2022

With regular co-host Chris back on the injured reserve, Anna reaches out across podcast lines and forms a truce with Jordan Bowman, co-host of the Trust The Process podcast, to join her to talk Vancouver Canucks hockey. The two pick apart why the Canuck have such horrible starts, whether Bubble Demko is about to burst or already has, the continued conversation that orbits JT Miller, and eventually get into a nostalgic look back at the Canucks media (and social media) landscape.

The Lunatic Fringe - Mar. 8, 2022

With two wins from the Vancouver Canucks - in games Chris suggested would be losses - the team is back within reach of a wildcard playoff spot. How wild is that?! He & Anna discuss what they liked from each of the two games, and whether this continued run of success means the team looks to possibly buy instead of sell come trade deadline day. They also discuss the impact of the world events on the game they follow, and how it's impacted their overall outlook. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Look Good Play Good Feel Good - Mar 1, 2022

Did you miss us???

Love is Difficult - Feb. 15, 2022

Love is difficult; for one human being to love a hockey team is the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us. Yet we persevere. Anna & Chris get together to whisper sweet Canucks nothings... errr... somethings from the week that was, wins against the Coyotes & Leafs, and a wicked loss against the Islanders. They also talk about what the love to see from the Canucks as they look to evolved hockey culture, and a few things they hate that holds hockey culture back. Learn more about your ad choices.

The JT Stands for Just Trade - Feb. 1, 2022

Chris kicks off the episode sharing an update on his health and how he's apparently going through what much of the Canucks roster has gone through in the past couple months. He & Anna then take a look at the week that was, whether there remains reasons to be optimisitc on playoff success (Chris thinks so and has bet on it), and if the team is close enough to be buyers. Yet all that said, should the team be sellers come trade deadline day, who's would the two put on the trade block? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
