In this episode I respond to a bunch of viewer-submitted Canuck-related hot takes and questions. I also apologize for leaving you guys hanging all summer without any explanation. I'm back now though and this time I mean business. Welcome to the second season of The Nuckhead Podcast– new episodes every Thursday morning at 5:30 PT!

Oh, and say it with me... THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS ARE GOOD!

In this episode, I chat with Connor from the popular Vancouver-based YouTube channel “turning the tables.” As fellow die-hard Canucks fans, we discuss which free agents we hope to see back next season, share our favourite memories from the 2023/24 season, and we even dive into some music talk. Check out Connor’s channel—you’ll love it, especially if you’re a music nerd like me. Thanks for listening, everyone. Stay tuned for the new video coming out this evening!

In this episode, I chat with Pinholes Graham, a fellow content creator who, in my opinion, produces the best hockey-related videos on YouTube. If you haven't seen his work yet, start with his most popular video, "You Are Being Mythologized (Do Not Resist) – The Career of Carey Price," which has garnered over 130,000 views at the time of writing this. After that, dive into his captivating "Playoffs Past" series, where he explores nostalgic playoff matchups from the late nineties and early two-thousands – you won't regret it. Once you've finished, don't miss his hilarious "LOHL" series, where he straight-facedly covers an entirely fictitious league with absurd player names (and is only updated once a year, on April Fool's Day). Thanks for listening!

In this episode I interview another ex-NHLer and Canuck legend – Eddie "The Stork" Läck. Eddie signed with the Vancouver Canucks as an undrafted free agent in 2010. Over the next two seasons, he refined his skills with their AHL affiliates, initially with the Manitoba Moose and later with the Chicago Wolves. His big break came in October 2013 when he earned a spot on the NHL roster, serving as backup to Roberto Luongo. Eddie swiftly endeared himself to fans, not only with his exceptional goaltending but also with his infectious and often comical personality. Today, that same charisma defines his role as a realtor and fuels his mischievous antics on Twitter. Thank you so much for watching, listening, commenting and engaging with the content I've created all season. I'm not going anywhere so stay tuned!

In this episode I discuss the upcoming matchup between the Vancouver Canucks and the Edmonton Oilers in round two of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. I compare their lineups, focusing on the likes of Connor McDavid, Quinn Hughes, Leon Draisaitl, and Elias Pettersson. I react to a bunch of the predictions you guys sent to me on Instagram. Lastly, at the end of the episode you get to hear my live (insane) reaction to the Canucks’ historic comeback win in game one. Enjoy!

In this episode, I had the privilege of interviewing Brendan Morrison, a former NHL forward and esteemed Canuck legend. Morrison played for seven NHL teams over the course of his illustrious fifteen-season career (the New Jersey Devils, Vancouver Canucks, Anaheim Ducks, Dallas Stars, Washington Capitals, Calgary Flames, and the Chicago Blackhawks) and amassed over 600 points before retiring in 2012. Notably, he holds one of the longest ironman streaks in NHL history at 542 consecutive games played and the pivotal role he played as a member of one of the most lethal forward lines ever constructed (the iconic 'West Coast Express' line) further solidified his status as a hockey legend.

Recently, Brendan launched a YouTube channel where he offers top-notch game analysis with a focus on his former team, the Vancouver Canucks. I selected the best questions from the hundreds you guys sent in, all of which shared a common theme—gaining insight into the experience of being an NHL player.

Thank you for listening!
