Clay's Canucks Commentary

With the news that Mike Sullivan and the Pittsburgh Penguins have parted ways, does that open the door to a return to Vancouver for Sullivan? I also explored some of the believed sticking points in the Canucks' negotiations with Rick Tocchet.

I talk about the two contract stalemates facing the Canucks right now: the one with Rick Tocchet, and the one with Tom Willander. I also share my thoughts on the Lapu Lapu tragedy and I bring on Hall of Fame Member Swervin Yrvin for a chat.

With rumours of Rick Tocchet flying back to Vancouver from Vegas, we explore the possibility of the Canucks announcing an extension on Friday for the head coach. We also talk about the first round of the playoffs so far, the Whitecaps match vs. Messi, and some guilty pleasures!

I do a very quick recap of the Canucks' year-end media availability (players, coaches, management) as well a summary of my NHL Playoff Confidence Pool. I end off the stream by giving away four gift cards to Vanbase.

In today's show, I explain how to enter my NHL Playoff Confidence Pool. As well, we collectively predict the NHL Playoff Bracket through a series of polls. The results may surprise you.

I break down the Vancouver Canucks' 4-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights in the season finale for both teams. I also touch on some of the biggest storylines of the season, and speculate a bit about the futures of Brock Boeser and Rick Tocchet.

Nikita Tolopilo made 15 saves in his NHL debut to help the Vancouver Canucks defeat the San Jose Sharks 2-1 in overtime. Quinn Hughes notched an assist to tie Alex Edler for most points in Canucks history with 409 points.

Vancouver Canucks defenceman Derek Forbort has a broken orbital bone courtesy of the cheap shot from Minnesota Wild forward Yakov Trenin last night. As well, Filip Chytil was back at practice today as he continues his journey back from his latest concussion.

It also seems like Thatcher Demko, Elias Pettersson, and Tyler Myers will all be shut down and miss the Canucks' final two games of the season.

Kiefer Sherwood and Dakota Joshua both had a goal and an assist in the Vancouver Canucks' 4-1 victory over the Colorado Avalanche. With the win, the Canucks sweep the season series, with three wins.

The Vancouver Canucks became the first team in NHL history to erase a three-goal deficit in the final minute of regulation in their 6-5 overtime win over the Dallas Stars.

With the win the Canucks have staved off elimination from the playoff hunt...for at least one more day.
