Weekends with Rob Fai

Vancouver (13-16-2) wrapped up a five-game homestand with a greasy 2-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers (18-12-0) on Saturday night down at Rogers Arena.  Bo Horvat (12) and Tyler Myers (4) scored for Vancouver while Thatcher Demko stopped 34 of 35 shots to help the Canucks head out on the road with a 4-1 homestand now in the rearview mirror.

After rattling off a pair of unexpected victories over Toronto and then a buzzer-beating win against the Canadiens, the Vancouver Canucks took to the ice in hopes of extending their winning ways to four games.  Unfortunately, Montreal had other ideas as they rocked the Canucks 5-1 out at Rogers Arena outshooting the West Coasters 44-24 to send Vancouver to a challenging 12-16-2 through 30 regular-season games.

Just when it looked like the Canucks were going to squander a 29-save performance from Thatcher Demko, Adam Gaudette scored in the final minute of the 3rd period to even up Monday's game vs. Montreal at 1-1, and then Bo Horvat got Vancouver the extra point in the shootout to extend the Canucks winning ways to three in a row!  Jeff Paterson (The VANcast) and Rob Williams (Daily Hive Vancouver) help break down the game.

Vancouver managed back-to-back wins for the first time since January with a decisive 4-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs at Rogers Arena.  Brock Boeser scored his team-leading 13th goal of the season, while Bo Horvat (11), J.T. Miller (7) and Nils Hoglander (5) also found the back of the net for the Canucks.  The win improves Vancouver to 11-15-2 as they reach the mid-way point of the season.

Jake Virtanen scored twice while Thatcher Demko stopped 32-of-33 shots to help the Vancouver Canucks to a 3-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs at Rogers Arena on Thursday.  Rob welcomes Managing Editor of Canucks Army David Quadrelli onto the show as well as Host of Trust The Process Podcast J. Bowman.

Shortly after a lacklustre 5-2 loss in Winnipeg, Rob is once again joined by Canucks analyst Jeff Paterson to dissect Tuesday night's game in Manitoba.  Rob also talks with Vancouver Giants General Manager Barclay Parneta just hours after the Western Hockey League's B.C. Division finally got the green light from the provincial government to resume play.  Please subscribe and rate our podcast and let people know that The Nation with Rob Fai, presented by Chamber of Commerce Group Insurance Plan is available on iTunes, Spotify and Podbean.

With the season quickly slipping away, Vancouver travels to Winnipeg and puts together one of its best games of the season.  Rob brings Jeff Paterson into the mix to breakdown Thatcher Demko's 1st regular-season shutout and breaks down a much-needed victory for the Canucks on March 1st.

March has arrived for the Canucks who march toward the ides with an 8-14-2 record!  It's a pivotal week for Vancouver, and both Rob Fai & Samantha Chang catch up with each other via Zoom to discuss the stories of the week.

Coming off a 3-0 shutout loss to Edmonton, Rob welcomes both Jeff Paterson of the VANcast and Wyatt Arndt of The Athletic (and Trust The Process podcast) to discuss a game that dropped the Canucks season record to 8-14-2 through 24 games.

After blowing a three-goal lead, the Canucks face the music as both Rob Fai and Jeff Paterson take Vancouver to task for yet another missed opportunity to turn this current season around.
