Canucks & Pucks Podcast

In this supersized 14th episode, Dan and I sit down and preview all eight playoff series and predict where each series will end up. We also give our key players and who will ultimately come out of the West and East. Then we each pick a team to win it all.

Then to top it off, we talk about the NHL Draft lottery and the Canucks' overall good luck despite not ever winning it. Then we delve into the Canucks prospect pool and the exciting players that will be coming up in the next few seasons. In addition, Dan makes a very bold prediction for the team's future in the playoffs.

We are finally talking about the Stanley Cup playoffs in Vancouver for the first time in four seasons! In this episode, the trio of Matthew, Dan, and Aidan break down the series win against the Minnesota Wild, their picks for MVP, Unsung Hero, and Most Improved Player and who they would like to see the Canucks face in the first round.

Dan and Matthew break down Game 3 against the Minnesota Wild and discuss the lineup changes with Zack MacEwen drawing in, the performances of the Calder Trident of Quinn Hughes, Brock Boeser, and Elias Pettersson, Jacob Markstrom's first career postseason shutout, the character shown in the game by Sutter, Motte, Beagle, and the penalty-killing units and finally our three keys to victory for a potential series-ending Game 4.

Today we are joined by Sarah Laug of NUCKSAID (nucksaid.com) to discuss the first postseason win in over four seasons. We talk about what went right in the game, the news of Micheal Ferland being unfit to play, the additions of Jake Virtanen and Loui Eriksson to the lineup, the prowess of the Canucks defence and the emergence of Elias Pettersson's tough side in the postseason and what that means for the rest of the series. Finally, we give our three keys to victory for Game 3.
