After a nearly three-week hiatus due to Covid-19, the Vancouver Canucks (17-18-3) were back on home ice and up against the odds as they faced the North Division-leading Toronto Maple Leafs (28-12-5) on Sunday afternoon. But minutes after falling behind 2-0, the Canucks captain Bo Horvat got them on the board, Nils Hoglander tied it and Horvat in overtime stunned everyone as Vancouver topped the Leafs 3-2. Without question, Braden Holtby's best game as a Vancouver Canucks keeper as the former Vezina recipient stopped 37-of-39 including some amazing acrobatic saves to help secure the win.

Just hours after the 2021 NHL Trade Deadline, host Rob Fai brings four Canucks analysts together to dissect Vancouver's day and the rest of the league's movements.  Jeff Paterson (The VANcast), Dave Tomlinson (former NHLer), Samantha Chang (Yahoo Sports) and J.

On a day when the Vancouver Canucks extend Tanner Pearson for the next three years, Rob Fai just happens to have a special edition of The Nation scheduled.  Both Jeff Paterson (VANcast & The Athletic) and Samantha Chang (The Broadscast & Yahoo Sports) chime in on the recent Canucks musings before former Major League Baseball All-Star and World Series Champion Ryan Dempster peeks in to talk Blue Jays, James Paxton and his favourite baseball memories.  A must listen from Season One of The Nation with Rob Fai, presented by Chamber of Commerce Group Insurance Plan.

The Vancouver Canucks head into a week-long break on the heels of a 5-1 loss at home to the Winnipeg Jets. Canuck analysts Jeff Paterson and Dave Tomlinson stop by The Nation to break down Wednesday's loss and what lies ahead for a franchise simply running out of games.

Back home and looking to make a push within the North Division, the Vancouver Canucks stumbled on home ice against the Winnipeg Jets falling 4-0 at Rogers Arena.  The story within came when Canucks captain Bo Horvat took an Alex Edler shot off the foot and left the game limping in pain.  On this episode of The Nation, Vancouver Province/Sun writer Patrick Johnston stops by to break the game down while EA Sports exec Sean Ramjagsingh talks about his journey building the NHL brand on multiple gaming platforms.

Just minutes after the Vancouver Canucks wrapped up a four-game road trip with a 5-4 loss to Montreal in a shootout, Rob Fai welcomes both Jeff Paterson (The VANcast) and Samantha Chang (The Broadscast) onto The Nation to break down all the action.

Vancouver built an early two-goal lead against the Ottawa Senators yet needed a shootout to pick up a 3-2 victory on Wednesday afternoon in Ottawa.  Brock Boeser (15) and Bo Horvat (13) scored in regulation for Vancouver before Adam Gaudette picked up the winner in the shootout to help the Canucks improve to 15-16-2 on the season.  The win improved Vancouver to 5-0 vs. Ottawa this season and moved them to within two points of Montreal for the final playoff spot in the North Division.

The Vancouver Canucks got goals from Jayce Hawryluk and Tanner Pearson to build an early two-goal lead on the Senators in Ottawa on Monday night (March 15) yet needed J.T. Miller's 8th of the season to recapture the extra point in overtime as Vancouver topped the Sens 3-2.

Thatcher Demko was peppered in the win as he turned away 44 of the 46 shots he faced to improve to 6-1 in the month of March with a .953 save percentage.
