C4 Canucks Hockey Podcast Full Press Coverage

The Canucks took game one of the series against the Nashville Predators. Anna was at the game. Chris was not. Yet both felt the energy of the first Canucks home playoff game in a LONG time. The pair discuss what they liked, what they didn't, and how they think the series will play out. They also take a spin around the rest of the league to determine who they like and who they don't.

After listening to the last episode, the Vancouver Canucks decide to roll the dice to spite Anna & Chris and start Silovs in BACK-TO-BACK games. While they did get points out of both, it was definitely not the approach the pair would've taken. And with DeSmith back in net for the Oilers, the team gets a much-needed two points against the team chasing them for the Pacific Division title.

It's been a couple weeks since the last episode, and while the Canucks have clinched a playoff spot officially, there's been a fair amount of clenching as they seem to have discovered an inopportune time to get into a slump. Anna & Chris discuss what's going wrong, if the loss of Demko is the sole reason for it, and failing that who (if anyone) is to blame. Plus it's awards season, so the pair discuss which Canucks get which team awards.

The Canucks win three, Chris is rewarded for his optimism, and the whether the playoffs will be clinched.

Last week Chris doubted the Canucks could beat the Winnipeg Jets. So beat the Jets they did. Anna & Chris take a look at how Chris got things so wrong, and how the Canucks got things so wrong against both the Colorado Avalanche & Washington Capitals. The pair also discuss the impact Thatcher Demko's injury might have on the team in the last few weeks of the season, whether standing pat (trik) at the deadline hurts in hindsight, and the glue that is Dakota Joshua.

It was quiet trade deadline for the Vancouver Canucks, including a pass on free agent Phil Kessel. That said, the team has found their winning ways and continue to punish any podcast pessimism from the likes of Anna & Chris. The pair discuss how things continue to go right, what might potentially make things go wrong, and even take a stab at potential first round playoff opponents. Learn more about your ad choices.
