C4 Canucks Hockey Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Chris is back, the Vancouver Canucks are not, and Summer is hotter than blazes. Anna & Chris chat about the the one-year deal given to Vitali Kravtsov, what the likelihood of Thatcher Demko going a full 84 games will be like, and finally get around to discussing the "new" collective agreement between the League and the Player's Association.

In a rare solo episode, Anna dives into the two Canucks trades and how that affects their off-season priorities. Plus she gives a really giant F (U) Word about the London trial verdict.

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.

Anna is joined by Daniel Wagner - aka Wags, aka @passittouboulis from Vancouver is Awesome - who fits right in by deflating the optimism from Canucks 3 from 3 roadtrip. We talk Petey on the penalty kill, why Bo's face-off percentage might be game-changer but doesn't mean Canucks should break the bank re-signing him and why goalies are tough to talk to. Plus there's talk on the Canucks re-build road map, how to lose a trade and why we probably already can't afford Kuzmenko. And yes sorry, they do talk about JT Miller quite a lot.

Having got their roadtrip off to a great start, where the Vancouver Canucks held a number of multi-goal leads and still won the game, the past few games have been far from stellar and the team looks to be in quite the tailspin. Anna & Chris wonder could happen when the team returns home, if trades of players named Bo & Demko are afoot, and where the team might find an opportunity to steady itself.

Anna & Chris are honoured to be joined by former Vancouver Canucks defenseman and current TSN analyst, Frank Corrado. Canucks fans know him a Frankie, so we ask the question on "everyone's" mind - did he purposefully switch to Frank once he left to distance himself from his time with us? Frank talks about his career, what he's up to now, and gives a few thoughts on what needs to happen with his former team. And as with every episode, Anna & Chris talk about the week that was and the week that could be... which... yeah... you know how it's likely to go.

Having listened to the inspirational story shared in our previous episode, the Vancouver Canucks got a win against both the Seattle Kraken and the Pittsburgh Penguins. They did this despite injuries to key players, two separate "game-day" trades, and the odds-makers being against them. Anna & Chris break down the week that was and wonder if this recent spat of positivity can be channeled into another good week of games at home.

While the Vancouver Canucks early season difficulties continue (they lost again while this episode was being recorded), the troubles the team face pale to those former Canuck Aaron Volpatti encountered on his journey to the NHL.

Aaron joins hosts Anna & Chris to talk about the launch of his new book, FIGHTER: Defying The NHL Odds, and the story he tells about overcoming adversity and defining his own comeback story to simply play hockey. Using a unique visualization process, Aaron took back control of his life at a time he was told his journey was to go in a different direction, not only getting back to the game he loved yet demonstrating a story that took him to the NHL.

And after speaking to Aaron, Anna & Chris take stock of what's happened (or hasn't) in the past week as the Canucks continue to lose - from some hot quotes to jerseys hitting the ice, to home-team players getting bood and a team potentially in disarray.

FIGHTER: Defying The NHL Odds

The Vancouver Canucks have kicked off the 2022-23 NHL Season in epic fashion, though maybe not the best version of epic if you happen to be a Canucks fans. Anna & Chris react to three straight games where the Vancouver Canucks have held multi-goal leads, yet found a way to lose each one of them. While some are placing the blame on NHL officiating, and others on horrible puck luck, it's hard not to suggest the Canucks have been at fault in all three. And that certainly adequate blue line when healthy? It's not healthy and certainly not adequate.

The Vancouver Canucks remain winless in the presason and "must-win game polls" are all the rage. Do Chris & Anna even care? The pair address a few questions from the last episode, chat about a certain troll, and cannot believe Hockey Canada just doesn't get it. At all.
