In this edition of Canucks Talk with Thomas Drance and Landon Ferraro, Olympic hockey rolls on as Team Canada’s women open against Switzerland, with questions about whether they have the pace to match Team USA on the smaller international rink. The tournament has leaned heavily toward dump-and-chase hockey, exposing teams like Sweden whose blue line lacks true pace and transition ability. We also react to Jeff Skinner being placed on waivers for mutual contract termination and what it signals about aging NHL scorers like Skinner and Kane searching for their next opportunity. The episode breaks down how style, speed, and roster construction are shaping this year’s Olympic tournament.
