July 04, 2024 How Canucks Fans Are Feeling Right Now (feat. You)
In this episode, I chat with you—yes, you! I have separate calls with three fellow Nuckheads: Ryan from Hawaii (NavyRymar), Josiah from Calgary (VonHavok), and Travis from Burnaby (TLsnow44). We discuss the Canucks’ recent free agent signings, try our best to cope with losing Nikita Zadorov, share our memories from the past season, and set our expectations for the next one. If you’d like to be a guest on the podcast, send your name and city to [email protected]. Also, apologies for missing last week's episode—I was moving. Thanks for listening, everyone!

June 20, 2024 Thanks for the Memories (feat. turning the tables)
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!

June 13, 2024 Re: I'm Just Here for the Riot
In this (very short) episode, I wanted to share my thoughts on the new "30 for 30" documentary that aired on ESPN last week. "I'm Just Here for the Riot" covers the 2011 Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver following Game 7 of the Finals between the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins. In my opinion, some of the negative reviews it has received are driven by resurfaced anger, which is understandable. However, I believe this anger is leading to a misunderstanding of the filmmaker’s intent and that’s what I wanted to talk about. Hope you enjoy this shorter episode. Back to the regular scheduled programming next Thursday!

June 06, 2024 Talking About the Canucks for Two Hours (feat. DeanerHD)
In this episode I’m joined by fellow content-creator, DeanerHD. We spend two hours chatting about all things Vancouver Canucks; from their heartbreaking game seven loss against the Edmonton Oilers to Elias Pettersson’s “knee injury.” We also try to solve their offseason puzzle by choosing which UFAs/RFAs we’d sign if we had the power to do so. Hope you enjoy this much longer instalment of the show! New videos coming next week!

May 30, 2024 My Favourite YouTuber (feat. Pinholes Graham)
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!

May 23, 2024 What It’s Like to Play for the Vancouver Canucks (feat. Eddie Läck)
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!

May 09, 2024 Stop Doubting the Canucks
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!

May 02, 2024 The Greatest Game in the World (feat. Brendan Morrison)
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!

April 25, 2024 Thatcher Demko Is Injured
In this episode I gush about the Vancouver Canucks' emotional game one win over the Nashville Predators. I react to the news of Thatcher Demko's injury and discuss the impact it might have on the team moving forward. I predict the score of game two and may have slightly embarrassed myself doing so.

Also, Canuck legend, Brendan Morrison will be the featured guest on next week's episode so if you have a question for him, record yourself asking it and send it to [email protected].

Thanks for listening!
