C4 Canucks Hockey Podcast

Towel Power - Apr. 23, 2024

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.

On The Precipice of the Pacific

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.

Clinched and Clenched - Apr. 8, 2024

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.

Three Dubs Will Do Ya - Mar. 25, 2024

With Anna not giving the Canucks their due, Chris gloats as the Canucks get the three wins he predicted. The pair also discuss the impact of the Garland's new "named" line, and if the team is playoff ready. Also included in this episode are a few thoughts of the "new" rules coming out of the GM meetings, and how the league continues to bury it's collective head in the sand regarding traumatic brain injuries.

CAPSizing Canucks - Mar. 18, 2024

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.

Standing Pat(rik) - Mar. 10, 2024

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.

Exhale, British Columbia - Mar. 4, 2024

In the last episode, Anna & Chris shared some uncharacteristic optimism the Vancouver Canucks had turned things around in predicting a six-point week. Apparently the optimism was misplaced as the Canucks eeked out only three-points with some uninspired play. Is the team tired? Has the noise been too much? Are we simply not chanting J.T. Miller's name loud enough in the Rog'?Despite all these questions, one question now answered is Elias Pettersson. Petey put pen to paper to an 8-year deal that sees him stick around Vancouver (hopefully) until 2032! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Beating Boston - Feb. 26, 2024

After a break for the Family Day long weekend, the podcast returns as the Vancouver Canucks wrap up a four-game slump by beating the Boston Bruins. Anna & Chris take stock of the situation, determine if the slump is actually bust, and discuss if Phil the Thrill is the solution to what ails the team. Learn more about your ad choices.

Beasts in the East - Feb. 12, 2024

With an extra week off since the last episode (courtesy of water being introduced to Anna's laptop), Anna & Chris get back together to talk about the Canucks play as of late and wonder if the cracks we're starting to see are indication of a larger issue, or simply the result of a little rust after the NHL All-star break. The pair also discuss what should be the team's priority heading into free agency, and who might be the trade chip (or trade chips) should the Canucks find a dance partner.

Comeback Kings - Jan. 29, 2024

In the week before the NHL All-star break, Anna & Chris expected the Vancouver Canucks to acquire six out of a possible six points. Instead, they only got five. Whether it's due to suspect officiating, suspect defensive play, suspect line juggling, or a suspect pair of podcast hosts, the week didn't go entirely as planned. Learn more about your ad choices.
