On this edition of the VANcast, Farhan and Thomas look back on the Canucks 3rd period rally and a gutsy comeback win over the Maple Leafs in Toronto on Saturday night.

The guys discuss the upcoming seven game home stand and how it's in the teams hands to change the conversation for Jim Rutherford and company leading up to the deadline. Tyler Myers, Tyler Motte, Con or Garland, Jaroslav Halak, Brock Boeser and J.T. Miller remain the Canucks most valuable trade chips, plus, it's a no brainer for the Canucks, it's time to extend head coach Bruce Boudreau.

On an all new VANcast, with the Canucks winners of 5 of the past 7 games, Farhan and Drancer discuss what the team should do with Jaroslav Halak who has struggled his last few times in net, and if the veteran will waive his no move to be dealt by the deadline.

Staying on the subject of the trade deadline, Thomas and Farhan discuss reports from NHL insiders Pierre Lebrun, Frank Seravalli and Elliotte Friedman that Canuck players aren't pleased hearing their names mentioned in trade rumours.

The guys also take a look at the upcoming schedule for the Canucks and the teams that they are chasing, as Vancouver continues to push towards a late season run and a playoff slot.

On an all new VANcast, Farhan and Thomas look back on the Canucks huge 7-1 win over the Calgary Flames on Thursday night and the fact that the team has won 4 of their past 5 games, which throws a wrench into the team un loading at the trade deadline. The guys discuss the continued progression of Vasily Podkolzin and Nils Höglander, Elias Pettersson's shooting percentage and Thatcher Demko's highlight reel windmill save and his maturity into a star player for the Canucks.

Plus Drancer and Farhan discuss the latest trade rumours involving J.T. Miller and look ahead to the four game road trip.

On an all new VANcast with Farhan and Drancer, the boys discuss Elias Pettersson's red hot roll of late, recording 17 points in his past 15 contests as the franchise centre is finally figuring out his game. We also get into the question of leadership with respect to how Petey interacts with a strong personality in J.T. Miller and Miller and a struggling captain in Bo Horvat.

Farhan and Thomas also discuss the reworked power-play and we take a look at the disastrous season for Jason Dickinson in Vancouver, and if he could perhaps fetch anything on trade deadline day, as his time in Vancouver with the Canucks has clearly not worked out.
