Pucks On Net

Canucks fall 3-2 in OT to the St. Louis Blues while the series remains in Vancouver's favour 2-1.

Ryan and Paul get together to discuss an eventful game 3 for the Vancouver Canucks. The subtraction of Tyler Myers to the line up, the lacklustre performance from Jake Virtanen and the confidence of Jacob Markstrom. Despite a loss for the Canucks, there are a lot of things to confident about.

But will the momentum continue to shift St. Louis' way? Especially with game 4 less than 24 hours away...

A hell of an eventful few days in the NHL and we're ready to gab about it!

Ryan, Geeta and P Mac gather around the satellite hot stove and look back at Jason Spezza's heartbreaking exit from the qualifying round. We discuss if or where he could play next year. We also look at the collapse by the Maple Leafs and John Tortorella's kind words coming to the defence of Sheldon Keefe.

They break down all eight first round matches and give their predictions. Will a team fresh off the qualifying round have the edge over a round robin team playing some mean nothing hockey? How many of these rounds are toss ups and which aren't much of a contest? We'll tell you!

We also look at the New York Rangers winning the draft lottery, answer some great listener questions and Ryan gives an important Shitty Beatles softball update!

Well it happened. For the first time since Kevin Bieksa got some incredible help from a stanchion and put an 2OT goal past Antti Niemi on May 24th 2011, the Vancouver Canucks won a playoff series.

We get together the morning after to look at the incredible shutout effort the Canucks put up in game 3 and the shaky but gutsy victory in game 4. With Jacob Markstrom not having his best night, the young Canucks core put the pedal to the floor and won it early in overtime thanks to resident overtime hero Chris Tanev.

What's in store for the Canucks in store for the first round? We wait patiently. But until then, celebrate and enjoy this win. Just like Chris Tanev is...

The Canucks come sleepy out of the gate and get shut out by the Minnesota Wild in game 1, then proceed to have one hell of a bounce back effort!

Geeta, P Mac and Ryan get together this week to talk about an eventful first two games of this best of five qualifying series. From Micheal Ferland's early game 1 fight to leaving game 2 due to injury, Elias Pettersson's rough treatment by Minnesota and how he responded in game 2 and the slow sloppy effort Tyler Myers had in game 2.

Dave joins the show midway to lobby to make the expanded playoff permanent in the National Hockey League and how it could grow the game in the United States.

Finally, the gang discusses Matt Dumba's powerful anti-racism speech and praise Tyler Seguin, Jason Dickinson, Ryan Reaves and Robin Lehner for kneeling during the national anthems prior to their round robin game.

The NHL in it's bubble version is here and we could not be happier!

Ryan, Geeta, Paul and Dave get together to discuss the NHL's (so far) successful return to play as exhibition games began earlier this week. They discuss the look, feel and sound of the empty arena games and just how quickly the games felt normal.

They also discuss the Vancouver Canucks' exhibition loss to the Winnipeg Jets, Olli Juolevi getting some playing time and what expanded Stanley Cup playoffs could mean for his development.

They also discuss Jake Virtanen's role on the team and what to expect in the best of five qualifying series vs the Minnesota Wild.

The gang also touches on big TV ratings for the games, the Seattle Kraken's name, logo and jerseys being unveiled and answer some great listener questions!

This is a clip from June's Patreon-exclusive bonus episode which is a deep dive on the 2010/11 Vancouver Canucks. In this clip, Ryan and P Mac discuss a key 'what if?' during this playoff run. What if Alex Burrows didn't slay that dragon in game 7 in overtime? What would have happened to the Canucks' team and front office?

In this bonus episode, we tackle the entire 2010/11 Vancouver Canucks season! From the wheeling and dealing of draft picks to bring in defensive depth, to adding key free agent pieces in the summer to their crucial trade deadline acquisitions, they discuss it all.

They discuss the team's incredibly dominant regular season which earned them the organization's first President's Trophy. They also go round by round breaking down key games and storylines. From Burrow's dragon slaying in round one, Ryan Kesler's domination over Nashville in round two and to the power play destruction vs San Jose in round 3.

Oh, and they talk about the Stanley Cup Final against the Boston Bruins and the countless injuries that the Canucks just could not recover from.

Put on a pot of coffee, this is a long show with the highest of highs and lowest of lows.

The NHL enters phase 2 of their return to play plan and we're entering phase 1 of our summer vacation. We'll be back ... when the NHL is back!

A full bench starts off the show as the gang discusses once again, the likelihood of the NHL (or sports for that matter) returning to North America. With COVID-19 cases spiking across the United States, it's hard to imagine it could be sooner rather than later.

The gang discusses who the most average Canucks player is, some drama in Anaheim with GM Bob Murray calling out his veterans and Dallas Eakins. They also look at ongoing concerns in Ottawa, this time regarding the Sens Foundation and what they did with donations.

They answer some great listener questions about trash TV, returning to bars and restaurants and fake NHL audiences during empty arena games.

A difficult week in our world to say the least, we try to talk about hockey and life, but some weeks it's a lot harder than others.

This week Ryan, Geeta, P Mac and eventually Dave talk about the likelihood of the NHL returning. They also touch on Judd Brackett officially parting ways with the Vancouver Canucks and just what that means for the organization. Speaking of the Canucks, the gang discusses Jake Virtanen distracted driving social media posts and who would wind up on our Mount Rushmore's of the NHL. Ryan buys a new big TV and is watching a lot of mid 90's sports on it.

They look back at Patrick Roy's turbulent exit out of Montreal and make some interesting comparisons between him and Patrik Laine of the Winnipeg Jets.
