C4 Canucks Hockey Podcast Full Press Coverage

With Anna away, friend of the show Patrick Johnston - beat reporter for the Vancouver Province and Vancouver Sun - joins Chris to talk Vancouver Canucks hockey. Patrick shares his thoughts on whether the season can be replicated next year, what it might take to make it happen, and who he see the team having the most luck bringing back as they head into free agency.

Despite the optimism Anna & Chris had about the Canucks beating the Oilers in seven, it wasn't meant to be. The pair discuss why it took the team a period & some to remember it was the last game and to shoot the puck, and how emotional the rollercoaster ride was when the team attempted to storm back late in the third period. And with the season now over, they discuss what came out of the end-of-season press conference and what it might mean for the team we'll see next season.

Recording the night before the game for all the marbles between the Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers, Anna & Chris revisit the past week and discuss what led us to the point where Game 7 - the podcast preseries prediction - came to be. The pair outline what they feel will be a key to victory and discuss who might fill in for Brock Boeser, ruled out due to a "blood clotting issue."

With the Vancouver Canucks up two games to one against the Edmonton Oilers, Anna & Chris check in with their pre-series predictions of Canucks in seven and recalibrate if those predictions hold up. They also share their thoughts on what Vancouver is able to do differently against the Oilers when compared to the Predators, and how that will be their key to success.

With the Vancouver Canucks on to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs against the Edmonton Oilers, Anna & Chris take a moment to share their feelings on Games 5 & 6 against the Nashville Predators.

Last week, Anna & Chris were oozing with confidence. Then moments after the episode was published, news broke that Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko was out for the foreseeable future. And after processing what it would mean that Casey DeSmith was the presumptive starter, news broke yesterday that he too was out and Arturs Silovs was getting the start.
Had you pitched this prior to the start of the playoffs and tell us that Vancouver would be up three games to one with a chance to win in it Game Five at home, we wouldn't have believed you. Yet here we are.
Anna & Chris discuss everything that has happened and revisit their early series prognostications to see if they remain just as confident.
