CANUCKS HOCKEY BLOG

Former professional hockey player Brock McGillis joins Anna & Chris to share his journey and talk about inclusivity in sport.

Tom Mayenknecht joins Chris & Anna to chat about the business side of the NHL, as well as his perspective on the local sports broadcast scene.

The Canucks had some time away from the rink, the coach in Calgary probably should, and Game Management never does.

Mike Paris, co-host of the Game Time Decision podcast, joins Chris & Anna to talk about the Canucks.

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,...

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!

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...

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.

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...

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.
