In the week before the NHL All-star break, Anna & Chris expected the Vancouver Canucks to acquire six out of a possible six points. Instead, they only got five. Whether it's due to suspect officiating, suspect defensive play, suspect line juggling, or a suspect pair of podcast hosts, the week didn't go entirely as planned.

The Canucks decide to keep Jim Rutherford around a little longer, still hope to keep Elias Pettersson around a little longer, and continue to keep the winning ways around a little longer. Not only that, Anna & Chris are called out for being cynical on the Canucks performance. The pair also have opinions on whether or not lines should have names. And they spend far too long talking about the snow.

Contrary to the opinion of a couple podcast hosts, the Vancouver Canucks continue to find ways to win games while on the road. Anna & Chris recap the week that was, wonder how the team continues to find ways to grab two points from every game, and guess when they might encounter "that game" where two points isn't possible. The pair also discuss the impact on the Canucks sending six to Toronto for the NHL All-star Game and if it's finally time to declare that this team is legit.

In the four games since our last episode - because the Canucks were rewarded with two lengthy breaks - the team has gone back & forth, alternating losses & wins. Tocchet has reunited the Lotto line to help generate some additional offense (and possibly give Pettersson a chance to play with skill), and the epic road trip continues. All-star voting has started, Anna wants things around the ASG to settle down, and she also asks Chris if the result in the World Junior hockey tournament means Canada is crap now.

Yes, it's that kind of show.

In a very special episode, and what we think is a first for the podcast, Chris records a solo show for Christmas Day to recap the Vancouver Canucks week that was. And what a week that it was as the team finds itself atop the NHL standings. Plus Chris shares a few festive holiday memories of his and a few from some of our listeners.

Luongo is up on the ring, Kuzmenko has heard the message, and Dakota Joshua be scorin' all the goals. Anna & Chris reflect on their piss-poor point prognostications and wonder if it's finally time for them to become optimistic about the Canucks. And it's that time of year where they share their New Years Resolutions.

On a night where the greatest Canadian soccer player of all-time retires, the high-scoring Hughes derby took place at Rogers Arena. The Canucks also put up a pair of wins against the Wild & Hurricanes in uninspiring and somewhat inspiring fashion.

With the Vancouver Canucks back from a quick trip to Calgary, and a week where they grabbed four of six points, Anna & Chris discuss what they liked most of what they saw and whether the team can continue to build on the success they continue to see - despite looking like a team that does things messy.

Quinn Hughes is definitely captain material. JT Miller is giving effs all over the ice. Brock Boeser is becoming the power forward we've always wanted him to be. And the rest of the team is taking note. The Vancouver Canucks go .500 in between two episodes and we're not at all upset. Boy is it good to watch exciting Canucks hockey again.

And last but not least, Anna & Chris discuss the proliferation of sports betting advertisements and share their thoughts on the potential impact it has on us all.

Anna & Chris return after a brief Remembrance Day break to discover the Vancouver Canucks are still following their winning ways, despite a couple tough games in the last two. Not only that, as of recording the Canucks have three names at the top of the league scoring race. And who's got the best moustache (so far) on the team?
