Canucks Mafia

Mike and Darren are stoked to be joined by Sportsnet650's Bik Nizzar to talk about Conor Garland, Ilya Mikheyev, player point projections and of course, will the Canucks make the playoffs? 

With the new season a mere week away, Mike and Darren talk about their takeaways from the Canucks pre-season, the Pearson/De Smith trade, Quinn Hughes as captain and much, much more. Is it too early to call Vasiliy Podkolzin a bust? Who's impressed in camp and pre-season? Tune in to hear our thoughts!

Mike and Darren discuss the NHL Entry Draft where the Canucks selected 7 players, including Swedish Defenseman Tom Willander 11th overall. How did we like the Canucks picks?

We also discuss the Canucks signing Carson Soucy, Ian Cole and Teddy Blueger.  Let's just say we aren't pissed, and that's a nice change!

Mike and Darren talk about the big OEL buyout and what it means for the Canucks in 2023 and beyond.

Mike and Darren are thrilled to be joined by the "AMAZING" Jeff Paterson in our year end Canucks episode. Jeff details the Canucks season, his expectations for the team going forward, his thoughts on the perception (from few fans) that the Canucks media is too negative and his very Canucks friendly Stanley Cup Finals prediction (please detect the sarcasm here...)!

You can follow Jeff on Twitter at @patersonjeff and listen to his Rink Wide Podcast (@rinkwideVAN) as well as read his Canucks news at The Hockey News (thehockeynews.com). 

On this episode Mike and Darren sigh a lot because the Canucks are a complete and utter disaster. Join us as we have a super positive and happy chat about the Canucks!

In this episode, Mike and Darren discuss the Canucks latest addition, Vitali Kravtsov. Was it a good deal for Vancouver? Also, how many trades do we expect the Canucks to make at the deadline next week? And who do we expect to see leave? 

Mike and Darren discuss the big Bo Horvat trade and look ahead to some other names that might be moved.

Mike and Darren are thrilled to have Patrick Johnston from The Province on to discuss the Bruce Boudreau fiasco. Did the organization handle this poorly? Who's to blame? How did we get to this point? We also discuss the Canucks new coach, Rick Tocchet and what the Canucks will do at the trade deadline. Canucks Mafia is also proud to introduce our new betting segment with BetStamp!

In this episode, Mike and Darren provide their letter grades and brief analysis for each Canuck player at the halfway point of a very disappointing season.  A couple of Fs and only one A+. Can you guess who? Disagree with any of our assessments? Please feel free to comment or respectfully debate!
