In this episode, I sit down with Dave Hall, a writer for ⁠Canucks Army⁠ who covers every prospect in the Vancouver Canucks’ system. We dive into a range of players, from the well-known (Jonathan Lekkerimäki, Tom Willander, and Elias Pettersson) to the nearly unheard of (Ty Mueller, Aku Koskenvuo, and Sawyer Mynio). We also chat about the lost art of the blue-line slap shot that once had penalty killers ducking for cover—think Sami Salo, Zdeno Chara, and Shea Weber. But before any of that, I...

In this episode, I chat with Canucks Central and Canucks game host Satiar Shah. We share our thoughts on the Vancouver Canucks’ first ten games of the season and discuss whether they’re showing signs of being true Stanley Cup contenders or not. I ask Satiar for the latest scoop on when we might see Thatcher Demko back on the ice, and where he expects Dakota Joshua to slot into the Canucks’ lineup when he's back from injury. We also take a moment to give the vastly underrated Teddy Blueger his...

In this (very short) episode, I wanted to share my thoughts on the new "30 for 30" documentary that aired on ESPN last week. "I'm Just Here for the Riot" covers the 2011 Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver following Game 7 of the Finals between the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins. In my opinion, some of the negative reviews it has received are driven by resurfaced anger, which is understandable. However, I believe this anger is leading to a misunderstanding of the filmmaker’s intent and...

In this episode I’m joined by fellow content-creator, DeanerHD. We spend two hours chatting about all things Vancouver Canucks; from their heartbreaking game seven loss against the Edmonton Oilers to Elias Pettersson’s “knee injury.” We also try to solve their offseason puzzle by choosing which UFAs/RFAs we’d sign if we had the power to do so. Hope you enjoy this much longer instalment of the show! New videos coming next week!

In this episode, I chat with Pinholes Graham, a fellow content creator who, in my opinion, produces the best hockey-related videos on YouTube. If you haven't seen his work yet, start with his most popular video, "You Are Being Mythologized (Do Not Resist) – The Career of Carey Price," which has garnered over 130,000 views at the time of writing this. After that, dive into his captivating "Playoffs Past" series, where he explores nostalgic playoff matchups from the late nineties and early...

In this episode I interview another ex-NHLer and Canuck legend – Eddie "The Stork" Läck. Eddie signed with the Vancouver Canucks as an undrafted free agent in 2010. Over the next two seasons, he refined his skills with their AHL affiliates, initially with the Manitoba Moose and later with the Chicago Wolves. His big break came in October 2013 when he earned a spot on the NHL roster, serving as backup to Roberto Luongo. Eddie swiftly endeared himself to fans, not only with his exceptional...

In this episode, I had the privilege of interviewing Brendan Morrison, a former NHL forward and esteemed Canuck legend. Morrison played for seven NHL teams over the course of his illustrious fifteen-season career (the New Jersey Devils, Vancouver Canucks, Anaheim Ducks, Dallas Stars, Washington Capitals, Calgary Flames, and the Chicago Blackhawks) and amassed over 600 points before retiring in 2012. Notably, he holds one of the longest ironman streaks in NHL history at 542 consecutive games...

This episode features fellow Canuck fan and independent creator, DeanerHD. A few weeks ago, comments started popping up on both of our YouTube channels asking us to collaborate with one another and I figured that this podcast would be the best way for us to do that. We selected a handful of viewer-submitted questions including "How do you get through a bad season?" and "What is the best trade in Canucks history?" and hit record.
