In the ultimate tribute, Jeff has recorded one final Patcast and dedicated it to Jason. It's a series of thoughts and memories of the great times the two spent recording each week and how much they enjoyed producing the podcast.

The Patcast: Farewell My Friend

JPat and Botch are back with a new podcast trying to get to the bottom of the Canucks pursuit for a new president. The owner denies discussions with Dean Lombardi, but what about Ken Holland now that he’s no longer in charge in Detroit? And why are things so quiet around the Canucks these days? Is this the calm before a summer storm of change? What should the Canucks have learned from a turbulent opening round of the playoffs. Plus, there’s $150 Beaver Buzz prize pack up for grabs for a lucky listener.

The Patcast: A Presidential Patcast

With the Canucks done for the season, JPat and Botch weigh in on the opening round of the playoffs. They compare the coaching job John Tortorella is doing in Columbus to the work he did behind the Canucks bench. They also explore what it takes to be successful at this time of year and what the Canucks can learn from teams advancing on the path to the Stanley Cup. The guys also review Jeff’s preseason goal projections for Canucks scorers.

The Patcast: Playoff Envy

With season over, JPat and Botch wrap up what they saw from the 2018-19 Vancouver Canucks and react to the lottery balls slotting the team 10th in June’s draft. The guys review the final week of the season, debate the team’s year end awards, react to what was — and wasn’t — said at the year-end press conferences and try to gauge whether the Canucks will make a splash as the draft hosts.

The Patcast: The Start of Summer

JPat and Botch start April with a brand new Patcast reviewing Quinn Hughes first few games in the NHL. They like what they’ve seen so far, but wonder why he hasn’t seen much time on the power play yet. They also discuss whether it makes sense to resign Luke Schenn after just 15 games with the team. And how does Schenn fit into an off-season overhaul of the Canucks blueline? Also, the guys debate if the Canucks are better now than they were at this time last season.
