    What Have We Learned?: Woodley & Shannon on the Canucks’ First Two Games

    Two games, 28 combined goals, and plenty for John Shannon and Kevin Woodley to unpack on a new edition of 100% Canucks. After opening the season with a 6-5 overtime win in Edmonton, the Canucks returned home and found themselves on the other side of another wild one, falling 9-7 to the Oilers. John and Kevin give their first impressions of the new-look Canucks and try to separate the early-season chaos from the things that could matter over the long haul. The guys dig into individual performances across the roster and compare what they’ve seen through two games with what Manny Malhotra and Canucks management have said they want this team to become. Where are the early signs of progress? Which players are taking advantage of their opportunities? And where is the gap between the organization’s vision and what has actually happened on the ice? Kevin also goes inside the crease after a difficult night for Vancouver’s goaltenders. With Thatcher Demko still working his way back from hip surgery, John and Kevin examine Kevin Lankinen, Leevi Meriläinen, and the decisions facing the Canucks as they navigate their goaltending situation. It’s far too early for definitive answers, but two games into the season, John and Kevin begin figuring out exactly what these rebuilding Canucks have to work with.

    Inside the Canucks’ New Era: Daniel Sedin on Leadership, Youth, and Opening Night.

    The new season begins with a win, and John Shannon and Kevin Woodley are joined by Canucks co-president Daniel Sedin on 100% Canucks to discuss Vancouver’s 6-5 overtime victory over Edmonton and the bigger picture surrounding this young team. Daniel shares his perspective on the opener and the development of Vancouver’s young players. He discusses the organization’s emphasis on process and structure, what the Canucks are trying to establish under Manny Malhotra, and why development remains about more than individual performances or early results. Sedin also reflects on his own transition into an executive role, the learning curve that comes with helping lead an NHL organization, and the importance of keeping the Canucks connected to both the community and the alumni who helped build the franchise. The conversation also turns to leadership within the dressing room, including the decision to wait before naming a captain and the importance of allowing leadership to develop naturally within the group. One game doesn’t define a rebuild, but after an opening-night win, Daniel Sedin provides a look at the identity, culture and foundation the Canucks hope will define what comes next.

    Part of the Plan: Elias Pettersson on His Role in Vancouver’s Future

    John Shannon and Kevin Woodley are back on 100% Canucks with the preseason underway and plenty for Vancouver to evaluate as the organization continues its rebuild. The guys begin with the latest developments in the Canucks’ crease, including the addition of another young goaltender and what it means for the organization’s depth at the position. Kevin breaks down the challenges of developing young goalies, the value of having experienced support at the AHL level, and how Vancouver can create the right environment for its prospects. John and Kevin also look back at the preseason matchup with Edmonton and the early stages of implementing Manny Malhotra’s system. With a young roster and a new coaching staff, they discuss what needs to improve and what Vancouver should actually be looking for during the exhibition schedule. Then, Canucks defenceman Elias Pettersson joins the show to discuss his offseason, the work he has put into his development, and his continued adjustment to the NHL. Pettersson talks about growing as a defenceman, the atmosphere surrounding the team, and the positive culture Vancouver is trying to establish. The conversation also turns to the difficult roster decisions facing the Canucks as young players battle for opportunities and the organization determines where each prospect is best served developing. For Vancouver, this season is about more than the standings. It’s about finding out which young players can become part of what the Canucks are building.

    What Are the Canucks Building?: Dave Tomlinson on Vancouver’s New Direction & the Rebuild Ahead.

    John Shannon and Kevin Woodley begin a new monthly tradition on 100% Canucks as Sportsnet Canucks analyst Dave Tomlinson joins the show to take stock of where Vancouver stands and what to expect as the organization begins its rebuild. With the preseason underway, the guys try to establish a baseline for this version of the Canucks. What is this team right now? What should progress look like? And with wins and losses no longer the only measure of success, what can Vancouver learn about its roster over the coming weeks? Tomlinson shares his excitement about watching the rebuild take shape and the opportunity it creates throughout the lineup. For established players like Brock Boeser, Elias Pettersson and Jake DeBrusk, the challenge is rediscovering the level they have shown in the past while helping establish the standards for a much younger team. At the same time, prospects including Braeden Cootes, Tom Willander, Liam Öhgren, Zeev Buium and Jonathan Lekkerimäki enter camp with something to prove and an opportunity to show where they fit into Vancouver’s future. John, Kevin and Dave discuss the balance between those two groups, what Manny Malhotra and the new leadership group are trying to establish, and why this preseason provides Vancouver with an important opportunity to evaluate what it has before deciding what comes next. It’s the first monthly check-in with Tomlinson as 100% Canucks follows the rebuild from the ground up.

The conversation also turns to the importance of culture and the role established veterans like Jamie Oleksiak and Brendan Gallagher can play in helping a young roster develop.

Ronning also opens up about life after hockey, his family, and the growth of the game in Europe, particularly in Germany.  The conversation closes with Ronning offering a message to new Canucks head coach Manny Malhotra, emphasizing that patience and respect are the foundations of any successful team.
