C4 Canucks Hockey Podcast

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?
