Off the Rush

What a week in hockey! Guys getting bitten, Marchand slewfooting Canucks like it's 2011, relocation rumors in Arizona, and that's just to start. Allan, Hoskin, and McPhail break down an exhaustively busy week around the NHL, as well as a discussion about the Patrick Roy Quit and Trade Anniversary. This was a lively show, enjoy!

Another week rolls by and it's another week of misery for Canucks fans. Locker room cliques, poor coaching, bad management, and a lack of direction. It almost seems like the Messier era has returned. The gang discusses the parallels between the present day and the years when the Moose called Vancouver home, as well as the new Olympic jerseys for Canada and the USA. We also take a look back at our predictions for the NHL season as we are at the quarter way point. We had some hits and some big misses! Enjoy!

It's a full bench this week as McPhail, Hoskin, Ken and Allan bring the heat. Jim Benning and Marc Bergevin are both on the hot seat and their departures from their respective teams feels imminent. The guys also take a look at Jacob Markstrom's hot start and the X factor could be the old cowboy himself, Darryl Sutter. Enjoy!

We have a full bench for this one! Allan, Ken, Hoskin and McPhail are all here for the first time in weeks and we break down the controversial ending to the Canucks vs Ducks game, Podkolzin's first 10 games as an NHL player, Chicago's coaching change, and the Bob Murray situation. Enjoy!

Jack Eichel finally gets his wish and it's VEGAS baby VEGAS! Ken, Hoskin and Dave break down the Eichel trade which is one of the most unique and potentially explosive in recent memory. The guys also pump Thatcher Demko's tires and make a case for JT Miller being one of the most underappreciated Canucks ever. We also looked at the red hot Carolina Hurricanes and their coach Rod the Bod. Enjoy!

Unless you've been living under a rock, everyone knows the biggest story in hockey this week is the Chicago Blackhawks scandal. Allan and the two Dave's get together and break down the facts of the situation and give their thoughts on how badly the Hawks have handled it. Moving on to stories on the ice, the guys discuss the Leafs avoiding disaster by beating the lowly Hawks, Montreal's continued ineptitude, and Connor McDavid's fast start. The gang is also collectively worried about Canada's Olympic goal-tending situation. Enjoy the show!

The NHL Season is a couple of weeks old and it's been wild! Allan's bold predictions are bearing early fruit and the rest of the OTR crew is confused. The Habs are 0-5, are they done already? The Canucks go from good to bad and back on a shift by shift basis and it's frustrating to watch. Ken, Hoskin, and McPhail's team is also off to a middling start and they discuss what needs to change on the ice if they are going to find Beer League Glory this Spring. Enjoy!

A new season of hockey is upon us! Fans are in the building, beer league hockey is back, and Canadian NHL teams get to play against squads from south of the border. Ken and Allan lay out some BOLD predictions that left Hoskin and McPhail rather confused. We also pick our beers of the week, provide a Black Vipers update and more! It feels so good to be back!

It's the Season One finale of Off the Rush! Thank you so much for giving our podcast a listen this year. Without our listeners we're just 4 guys in their basements drinking beer and talking about hockey, which actually sounds like a good time! The last week of drafts, trades, and free agent signings has been intense, we give a breakdown of the insanity and let you know what our favorite and LEAST favorite moves of the off season. Put your feet up, crack a beer, and enjoy the last episode of the year. We will see you in September!

It's the eve of the 2021 Seattle Kraken Expansion Draft and the gang has come together on a Tuesday night to do Ronnie Francis's work for him. We rotate picks amongst the four of us and with some debate, selected what we think is a HELL of a team. This was an absolute blast to record, plug it in your ear holes before the real picks are announced and see how we did!
