C4 Hockey Podcast

The Vancouver Canucks will have an entirely new coaching staff. The Vancouver Goldeneyes might... maybe. The Montreal Victoire have won the Walter Cup. The PWHL has expanded into four markets, one of which was completely off Anna & Chris' radar. And the NHL playoffs are in full swing.

As a fan of the Vancouver Canucks, you've likely come to accept that nice things are elusive. Yet how many of you had hope, albeit briefly, that first overall in the NHL Entry Draft was in reach? Anna & Chris share how it's the hope that kills them when it comes to following the team, what they think the team does with third overall, and who they like best out of the final two (maybe?) names being considered for GM. Plus the pair talk about the PWHL expansion process and Anna tries to walk Chris through the complexity of the expansion draft.

With both the NHL and PWHL hockey seasons complete for the two teams from Vancouver, Anna & Chris discuss a few happenings over the past week. For instance, how awesome was it the Goldeneyes succeed with the PWHL Gold Plan? And how not-so-awesome is it the search for a new Canucks GM is happening on multiple lists? And with a PWHL season under the belt for this podcast, the pair discuss what rules should stick and which should find their way to the bin.

The Vancouver Canucks season is over and Patrik Allvin is looking for a new gig. The Vancouver Goldeneyes are officially out of the post-season and working on making their best of the Gold Plan. Anna and Chris have thoughts on everything and more. Was the Canucks culture really that bad? Did the Goldeneyes "peak" at the wrong time of the season? And is Anna on to something about naming a four-goal game?

After a typical string of losses, the Vancouver Canucks suddenly remembered what fun hockey was like. And while the math suggests the Vancouver Goldeneyes still have a shot at the post-season, three consecutive losses have put them on the bring. Anna & Chris discuss what the last few games for each will entail, and what each must do to embrace the season-ticket holder going into 2026-27.

With how long Anna & Chris have been at the podcast game, you'd think they'd have more successful weeks of prognostication. The Goldeneyes get the expected win, and give the Fleet a run for their money, while the Canucks lose a bunch... because that's what they do too. Fights, Playoff Chances, and revoked media credentials all make an appearance in this episode.

The Vancouver Canucks win one & lose two and Anna & Chris are happy. The Vancouver Goldeneyes win one & lose one, and Anna & Chris are happy-ish. The hosts discuss what the two teams need to do in the homestretch of their respective seasons to succeed, whether the Canucks need a Captain next season & who it should be, and how the staff at the Pacific Coliseum are top-notch.

The Canucks race to the bottom continues despite a win over Nashville, the Goldeneyes race to the playoffs continues despite losing twice in overtime, while paper bags and the Linden timeline are all the rage in the Smylosphere.

The NHL Trade Deadline has come and gone, the Vancouver Canucks remain in last place in the standings, and didn't make all the deals everyone hoped they would. Anna & Chris share their thoughts on the view deals they did make and if they are buying into the idea that they should be happy fans considering the Canucks are "already two years into" a rebuild.

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???
