With Chris day to day in concussion protocol, Anna channels her not all that hidden inner theatre kid and monologues on all things Canucks, Goldeneyes and Olympics. This podcast has everything: fake hat-tricks, goalies’ invisible demons, a landscaping company and a demand for Can-con recognition. Join us (her, it’s just Anna) won’t you???

After taking a break for the Family Day long weekend, Anna & Chris catch up over the performance of the Canadian Women's and Men's Olympic Hockey Teams, how a few of the Goldeneyes and Canucks players did while there, and take a gander at what to expect from both the Goldeneyes and Canucks as both the PWHL & NHL wind themselves back up later this week.

Anna & Chris discuss if the Vancouver Canucks let down their Mom's with the two losses against the Mammoth and Golden Knights, a few thoughts on Gavin McKenna's alleged behaviour, and how they think Team Canada will perform in Men's and Women's Olympic hockey.

While the Vancouver Goldeneyes failed to grab some final points before the Olympic break, the Vancouver Canucks succeeded in doing more than Anna & Chris ever imagined - they got 3 points instead of 2 as they wrapped up their pre-Olympic break homestand. The pair nitpick over the usual with both the Goldeneyes and Canucks, before they spend time wondering if Adam Foote could have one foot out the door. Oh, and as usual Chris goes way off the rails before Rewind even drops.

Maya Smith joins Anna & Chris to share her thoughts on the Goldeneyes this season, what she'd consider a successful season as, and is this recent performance shift sustainable? Maya also drops a new nuggets on the potential for PWHL expansion next season. Anna & Chris also chat about the Canucks losing streak finally coming to an end, shortly followed by the 1-game winning stream ALSO coming to a sudden end. And we finally learn what "exciting losses" look like.

Another winless week for fans of Vancouver's two professional hockey franchises and another episode where Anna & Chris wonder when things might change. But to ensure the pair had something meaty to talk about, the Vancouver Goldeneyes pulled off an blockbuster trade with the Ottawa Charge just under the PWHL trade deadline.

After a winless week of Vancouver hockey, Anna & Chris discuss what good... if any... can be found from the performances of the Vancouver Goldeneyes and the Vancouver Canucks. And with the PWHL season hitting the midway point, are the Goldeneyes where we expected them to be? Plus, Heated Rivalry is all the rage so it makes sense that Anna & Chris talk about it.

Straight from the airport, Anna rejoins Chris to catch up on all the Vancouver Canucks and Vancouver Goldeneyes have been up to while she's been away. With both teams only securing one win over the past two weeks, which team do the pair think is trending in the right direction? And with the Canucks currently doing a hybrid retool/rebuild/rewind/reverb (it's only a label), does the potential of Kiefer Sherwood returning mean it's complete?

With Anna away, Chris puts out a call to the Smylosphere to have another voice join him to talk puck and finds that call answered by Derek. The two discuss the goings on with the Vancouver Canucks in a post-Quinn Hughes world, why the team is suddenly finding so much success since, and if this was the fastest rebuild in NHL history.

The Quinn Hughes era with the Vancouver Canucks has come to an end. Anna & Chris reminisce about the time when the Canucks had a Norris trophy winning player on their team, the fact the word rebuild was actually used in a team press release, and if this is finally the day when the organization accepts that a retool is out of the question.
