C4 Canucks Hockey Podcast

Brock Talks - Apr. 13, 2021

Joining Anna & Chris is former professional hockey player Brock McGillis to talk about his hockey journey, the culture within sport, and how it defined his role in helping shift the world to become a more inclusive space. He also shares his opinion on when the Vancouver Canucks might win a Stanley Cup (not for a while). And despite signs to the opposite leading up to the NHL Trade Deadline, the Canucks were in on the action with the departures of Adam Gaudette & Jordie Benn, and the arrivals of Madison Bowey & Matthew Highmore. Anna & Chris share their reactions to these trades, what it might mean for the team, and how it all plays into Jim's "plan" for the future!C4 Text Line - (604) 200-6201

Cornering The Sport Market - Apr. 6, 2021

With the Vancouver Canucks dealing with a serious COVID-19 outbreak, Chris & Anna share some of their thoughts on how people are reacting to the situation and what they feel this development means for the NHL season. They are then joined by Tom Mayenknecht, a pillar in the Canadian sports scene, to talk about the business side of the NHL within the context of the pandemic. Tom also shares his perspective on the local sports broadcast scene, one that is unique considering he is a co-founder of TEAM 1040.C4 Text Line - (604) 200-6201

Cracking the Code - Mar. 30, 2021

After two uninspired performances from the Canucks before their one-week break, Anna & Chris decided to pick up the slack with an inspired podcast episode. The two kick around a few ideas on what the Canucks can do leading up to the trade deadline, and try to figure out if simply suggesting "So you say they have a chance," is sufficient to remain optimistic with their playoff chances. Then you have Darryl Sutter being Darryl Sutter over in Calgary and Tim Peel slipping up and taking the fall on behalf of the NHL and there's a whole lot of code to be cracked.C4 Text Line - (604) 200-6201

We’ll Always Have Paris - Mar. 23, 2021

Somehow, someway, the Vancouver Canucks have continued to scrape together wins & points against and find themselves on the precipice of above .500 hockey. To help break what's going on down is Mike Paris, co-host of the Game Time Decision podcast. Mike, Anna, and Chris discuss whether or not the Canucks are truly a "good team" and wonder aloud if Artem Chubarov's car is still stuck under Rogers Arena (really!!). They also spend some time discussing the evolution of the Canucks podcasting landscape and what it's like for aspiring podcasters and content creators to get their start now.C4 Text Line - (604) 200-6201

Always Darkest Before the Jawn - Mar. 16, 2021

The Vancouver Canucks have six wins in their last ten games, most of which they've played without Elias Pettersson. And despite this, they remain two games below .500 & three points out of a playoff spot - held by the Montreal Canadians who have games in hand. Helping break down whether the Canucks have a chance is Jawn Jang, formerly of Sportsnet 650AM and currently with CKNW 980AM. Jawn, Anna & Chris discuss the week that was and wonder if the team gets any points against the Habs in the week that will be. And having crunched some simple numbers, Chris comes to a shocking realization about the team's performance over the decades he's been following them.C4 Text Line - (604) 200-6201

Podcasting Day to Day - Mar. 9, 2021

A week ago, Chris & Anna questioned where the Canucks had it in them to take one point off the Leafs. Yet here we are watching the Canucks take four of four points off of them, before taking two from the Canadians (despite giving one point back). Not only that, the Canucks winning streak has been without Elias Pettersson! Leave it to the pair to try and explain what is going on!C4 Text Line - (604) 200-6201

The Most Dangerous Lead in Hockey - Mar. 2, 2021

Last episode, Anna & Chris demanded the Vancouver Canucks grab points off the Edmonton Oilers. Unfortunately, the Canucks didn't listen - despite going up 3-0 early in the first game against the Oil. After a short break to collect themselves, they decided to take a different approach with a 3-0 lead against the Winnipeg Jets and found themselves a solid win. Is it enough to turn the tides? Or do the Canucks remain rudderless? And while the trade deadline is still over a month away, scuttlebutt has Jake Virtanen possibly on the move. Unless you're Kevin Paul Dupont who thinks it could be Petey or Hughes.C4 Text Line - (604) 200-6201

Points Three Out of Four - Feb. 23, 2021

The Vancouver Canucks grab points in three out of four games over the past week - is that enough to get Chris & Anna all jazzed up? The two also speak to Sarah Laug (@nucksaid), author of the "Our Voice" series sharing the stories of women in sport, about why she felt it so important to share the different female perspectives and what she sees from the Canucks this season. And wrapping up the episode is a true F-Word about Ray Whitney's thoughts on player "safety" in the NHL.C4 Text Line - (604) 200-6201

Full Confidence - Feb. 16, 2021

While the Vancouver Canucks halted their slide with a win over the Calgary Flames, the week since the last episode was still tumultuous. From the sudden end to TSN 1040 on the sports-talk radio landscape in Vancouver to Francesco Aquilini suggesting he had "full confidence" in Jim Benning, Travis Green and the rest of the management team, to work boots being the new dress code, lots has been going on. Friend of the show, and former advertiser on 1040, Jordan Bateman joins Chris & Anna to talk about the week that was and provide a different perspective on everything that's happened in the past seven days.

Boomed - Feb. 9, 2021

While the Vancouver Canucks slide continues, Chris & Anna look for positives and are joined by Chloe & Natalie Hoy from The Permanent Rain Press to talk about the Vancouver Canucks. From how they started covering the Canucks with their "Everyone Loves Fin" post-game blog, to Natalie's participation in the Botchford Project, to the solutions they'd put in place to stop the Canucks run of losses, it's a particularly fun show contrasting the current state of Canucks social.
