Despite being outplayed for large portions of the game, the Canucks defeated the Ottawa Senators 5-2 to kick off their 3 game road swing through Eastern Canada.

Elias Pettersson led the way with 3 points.

I also talk about PDO, regression, and what it means for the team.

As always, I answer your questions and we end up coming up with some Clay-inspired stats.

I talked at length about what I've been up to over the past week or so, and how I missed streaming while taking care of work priorities. As well, I give a positive update on my health as I look ahead to a full recovery from my Achilles injury.

In the second half, I focus on the Canucks: I look at some key stats, preview their Eastern Canada road swing, and I answer viewer questions.

The Canucks finished the month of October with a 6-2-1 record and in second place in the Pacific Division. I take a quick look back at the nine October games and a quick look ahead at the 15 November games.

As well, I bring in birthday boy Lucas Gates for a quick chat.

The Canucks captured three points on the weekend with a 5-0 win over the St. Louis Blues and a 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Rangers.

We recap the games and take a closer look at the controversial calls (and non-calls) from the loss to the Rangers.

The Canucks return home with a 4-2 record and sitting in second place in the Pacific Division. We look ahead to their games against the Blues on Friday and the Rangers on Saturday.

As well, we touch on the Shane Pinto situation and we talk about which coaches might be the first to be fired.

The Canucks ended off a relatively successful road trip with a 3-2 win over the Nashville Predators. The Canucks got goals from Mikheyev, Di Giuseppe, and Hoglander and killed off all 3 Nashville power plays.

Next up is St. Louis at home on Friday night.

The Canucks are one game over .500 and for now it places them in second place in a weak Pacific Division.

How long can they stay there?

We also recap the Saturday 5-3 win over the Panthers and we look at the revised bottom 6 that the Canucks practiced with ahead of their Tuesday night game against the Predators.

The Canucks opened the season with two big wins over their divisional rivals in Edmonton. Then they dropped games to the Flyers and Lightning that were ugly in different ways.

What type of team will we see in Florida?

Any why do my Friday night streams always seem to go off the rails?

Thatcher Demko was spectacular in a losing effort, as he made 40 saves in the Canucks' 2-0 loss to the Flyers. The Canucks were outshot 22-3 in the middle period and their record drops to 2-1 on the season.

We talk about their defensive (and offensive) struggles and we look ahead to the team's 2 games in the Sunshine State later this week.

Casey DeSmith made 37 saves off 40 shots to lead the Canucks to an exciting 4-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers.

Elias Pettersson and Nils Hoglander had 2 points each for the victors.
