Being a big supporter of the American winger Brock Boeser, Venn gives his takes on the current play of the Minnesota native, the chances of him being traded ahead of the deadline, and more. The boys talk Bieksa's reaction to Chara's podcast appearance, plus the trio spends a lot of time talking about Bo Horvat and his choice to reject the Canucks' latest contract offer. Plenty of content on the future of the Canucks captain and how the end result will shape the future of this hockey club.

After COVID kept the podcast from airing last week, the boys finally get together to talk some Vancouver Canucks hockey. Host Brayden Ursel is joined by Brogan Houston and Aidan Serra to talk the Canucks wild come-from-behind 7-6 win over the visiting Montreal Canadiens. With five wins through their last seven games, there's lots of talk around current play, Pettersson's performance, Horvat's goals and more.

Brogan brings Canucks Trivia to the podcast, with questions around the twins, Bobby Lou, and the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals run.

Miller and Bo Horvat, and more. New segments are introduced to the show, including Talking Twitter and Who's Hot / Who's Not.
