In a week where the Vancouver Canucks chose to shoot the puck for a couple of games, and decided to reverse course and avoid shooting the puck in a couple others, it left Anna & Chris wondering... why?! The pair react to the wackiness of getting 4 points out of a possible 8, Petey's deployment and why you can't spell Selke without Pettersson, and how the team has decided it's best to be "in it to win it."

In a week that Chris predicted would be full of downs, the Vancouver Canucks decided to have a couple ups. Credit to Anna for having some optimism. The pair discuss the odd performance over the past week, with wins against Nashville and Columbus and a third-period cave-in loss against Chicago, and wonder how that sets up that week that will be. And with Demko undergoing "emergency maintenance," how does the team persevere through it all?

The Vancouver Canucks get two gutsy wins out of four, so why don't Anna & Chris feel so good about them?! Maybe it has to do with the two lackluster losses and the slew of injuries the team is dealing with. But it's not all gloom & doom. Kiefer Sherwood is in early contention for the Rocket Richard trophy. Drew O'Connor scored two goals in ONE GAME! Maybe the sun is starting to shine?!

Anna & Chris get punished for their optimism as the Vancouver Canucks wrap up the road-trip with a couple of stinkers, only to find a way to lose against the Montreal Canadiens at home. The two pick apart what little went right, and what they think the coaching staff need to do to get the Canucks back on the positive side of things.

Are the Canucks... good? With a PDO through the roof, the team has put together a pretty decent road trip to start the season despite issues & injuries taking their toll. Anna & Chris share a few thoughts on what's gone right, what's gone wrong, and whether the NHL will ever take player safety seriously.

The Vancouver Canucks finished the preseason strong, made the final few cuts, and gave us a couple surprise choices going into the regular season. Anna & Chris break down how they see the forward lines all play out, who they think is on the bubble, and if it's worthwhile to burn a year or just give a kid a taste of the show.

Creators & Guests

The NHL Preseason is here! Anna & Chris discuss the "return" of Petey and the good word coming out of camp. Plus they wonder if the Canucks solved their problem down the middle in-house.

Hosts & Guests

With the Vancouver Canucks players finding their way to town, it can mean only one thing - training camp is upon us! Anna & Chris revisit the how the team approaches it's third & fourth-line center problem (presuming there isn't a problem in the second-line spot), if the blueline will be markedly better than last season, and who from the Calder Cup winning Abbotsford Cancuks will crack the NHL roster come the start of the season.

Now we are really in the dog days of summer but the NHL Europe Media tour has kicked off so bad player drawings are incoming, training camp will be here before you know it. Anna & Chris do their thing and outline who will have "a year," who MUST have "a year," and why this could BE "the year" for Quinn.

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.
