While it remains apparent there are a few Canucks still possessing some fight, the team is simply going throug the motions as they look to wrap up their season. Anna & Chris break things down and begin to look ahead to another long offseason. And with Canucks player awards due to be handed out in days, the pair hand out their own.
A few days late, yet still just in time. The Vancouver Canucks push to the postseason is over. While there is still time to figure out where things all went wrong, and what the plan will be in the offseason, Anna & Chris focus on all the vibes that were experienced in the week that was.
In a week where the Vancouver Canucks get 5 out of a possible 8 points, it still doesn't feel like enough. Anna & Chris break down how a week that started well ended so flat, and if the Canucks have more than "just a chance" to make the NHL playoffs. And if that dream is dead, when and where did it die?
If there's one that is consistent with the Vancouver Canucks, anytime Anna & Chris get down on their week that will be the team looks to put together a stellar game or two. The Canucks win big against Winnipeg, lose small against St. Louis, and despite trying to win big against New York find a way to still lose. And with injuries to Petey & Hög, the pair struggle to remain optmistic as the road trip trundles on.
Have you heard the rumours? Petey might be back. Have you watched the Canucks play? Rumours are they've been inconsistent. Anna & Chris tackle these rumours and more.
Fresh off the NHL Trade Deadline, Arielle Lalande joins Anna & Chris to discuss the Canucks ripple in the trade market, the week that was & the week that will be, and shares insight into her recent experience on the Botchford Project .
If you never understood how a two-goal lead is the most dangerous lead to hold in the NHL, the Vancouver Canucks are the best team to demonstrate why. Anna & Chris react to the week that was where the Canucks held leads in all three games, yet only took two points of a possible six. And with the NHL Trade Deadline fast approaching, they share who they think the Canucks need to keep and whether or not this team should have a fire sale.
It's the first episode after the 4 Nations Face-off and Chris has feelings. Plus the Canucks are back in action with a pair of road games, though the results of those are not aligned with the result from 4 Nations. Anna & Chris unpack everything, talk about the future of Pettersson, Boeser & Demko and so much more. P.S. Chris might curse at some point.
In an effort to punish Anna & Chris for their pessimism, the Canucks decided to play some stellar - and dare we say inspired - hockey. Demko got a shutout and should've had a second. The blue line looked reliable, even WITHOUT Quinn. And the we've even seen glimpses of the team playing with speed. Can this all be real?!
The JT Miller era with the Vancouver Canucks is officially over. With everything that took place on January 31, Anna & Chris shake things up with this episode to discuss how it all went down, there thoughts on how the team moves forward, and whether or not the moves make the team better.
The Canucks can't lose on Saturdays, can't string together three solid periods of hockey every other day, and can't find a dance partner that wants to facilitate a trade at a price they're willing to pay. So what can the Canucks do? Anna & Chris break it all down.
Is J.T. Miller still a Canuck? While the question continues to get asked, Anna & Chris wonder if it will ever get answered. The pair also groan about two lacklustre efforts & toss some lumber around about the one full of lustre.
While Anna & Chris were pessismistic about the Canucks chances the past week, the team grabbed four out of a possible eight points - including a shutout win in Toronto. Despite this, the pair remain quite concerned on the success of the team going into the week that will be.
With Anna back in the saddle, she and Chris discuss the past week of woes for the Vancouver Canucks. Lackluster play, a blueline that's blue, a goaltender with "back spasms," and dressing room drama that can only end in a multitude of ways. And that's just this episode!
With the 2024 calendar year coming to a close, friend of the show JJ Guererro joins Chris to talk about the Vancouver Canucks year and share a few thoughts on the current news of the day - injuries, absences, and a blue line that was in trouble finding more trouble to get into.
In case you missed it, the C4 Holiday Live Show returned for a second time on YouTube (and is still viewable). Joining Anna & Chris to provide a little holiday cheer and talk about the Vancouver Canucks were friends of the show, Clay Imoo (former co-host of C4 & current media mogul with Canuck Clay) & Rob Williams (National Sports Editor at Daily Hive). The crew talk about the return of JT Miller & Thatcher Demko, how to solve the Canucks problems on home ice, and share what gift...
While the Canucks home woes continue, Anna isn't around to talk about it & instead arranged for a guest to hang out with Chris. Satiar Shah , host of Canucks Central on Sportsnet 650, joins the show to share his thoughts on what is needed to "fix" the Canucks at home, what the team might look to do to shore up the blue line, and how he thinks the team will handle Demko's return. And just a reminder, the C4 Holiday Live Show is this Saturday! Tune in to YouTube at 4pm PT for some holiday podc...
With four games since the last episode, the Canucks find a way to win three of them. Sure they were outshot in in a few, and sure they relied far too often on the NHL streak holding Kevin Lankinen, but it's the points that matter the most... right? Anna & Chris discuss what's going right, what's gone wrong, what helped Petey find his form, what to do about the Hronek sized hole on the blue line, and what's up with the C4 Holiday Live Show! P.S. It's on December 14 at 4pm PT over on YouTube !...
With news breaking as the show was being published last week that J.T. Miller would be taking an indefinite leave from the Vancouver Canucks, Anna & Chris discuss how his absence has impacted the team over the past two games and who (coughcoughPeteycough) has to step up. They also discuss the merits of having some good DPS on your team, if the Marcus Pettersson is the answer to all blue line woes, and how they expect the team to perform as they remain out on the road.
Over the past two weeks the Vancouver Canucks have shown a few things. They can win on the road. They can lose at home. Their coach can apologize to the fans. They can embrace inconsistency like no other. Anna & Chris discuss all of things and more as they try and determine what it all means.
In a week where the Canucks grab 3 points out of a possible 6, it's the game where they grabbed none that bothered Anna & Chris the most. The pair chat about the forward lines getting sorted, why they still worry about the blue line, and if Lankinen is the guy we should trust moving forward.
In a quiet week on the ice for the Vancouver Canucks, the talk got very loud about locker room rifts and an underperforming star. Yet all that said, the Canucks now have four wins in a row and the stars are shining. So are Anna & Chris with a new intro, a return to the "rails," and so much more.
With a couple weeks of regular season hockey under their belt, Anna & Chris provide a "very reasonable & balanced assessment" of their play, what they need to work out to see more success, and wonder if Lankinen has fully transformed into Blankinen. Yeah... it's that kind of episode.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
