With news breaking as the show was being published last week that J.T. Miller would be taking an indefinite leave from the Vancouver Canucks, Anna & Chris discuss how his absence has impacted the team over the past two games and who (coughcoughPeteycough) has to step up. They also discuss the merits of having some good DPS on your team, if the Marcus Pettersson is the answer to all blue line woes, and how they expect the team to perform as they remain out on the road.

Over the past two weeks the Vancouver Canucks have shown a few things. They can win on the road. They can lose at home. Their coach can apologize to the fans. They can embrace inconsistency like no other. Anna & Chris discuss all of things and more as they try and determine what it all means.

In a week where the Canucks grab 3 points out of a possible 6, it's the game where they grabbed none that bothered Anna & Chris the most. The pair chat about the forward lines getting sorted, why they still worry about the blue line, and if Lankinen is the guy we should trust moving forward.

In a quiet week on the ice for the Vancouver Canucks, the talk got very loud about locker room rifts and an underperforming star. Yet all that said, the Canucks now have four wins in a row and the stars are shining. So are Anna & Chris with a new intro, a return to the "rails," and so much more.

With a couple weeks of regular season hockey under their belt, Anna & Chris provide a "very reasonable & balanced assessment" of their play, what they need to work out to see more success, and wonder if Lankinen has fully transformed into Blankinen.

Yeah... it's that kind of episode.

Although the 2024-25 NHL Season starts this week, Patrik Allvin has been busy cooking up a few tidy bits of business in the Vancouver Canucks kitchen. Anna & Chris discuss the moves, guess at who may come (back) on the waiver wire, and chat about the chemistry we've seen from a few of the players - new & old - on the roster.

The Vancouver Canucks opened and closed training camp in the time since we last recorded an episode, and begin their preseason slate of games starting tomorrow night. Anna & Chris react to what they've seen from camp, if they believe the Canucks did well in signing Kevin Lankinen, and whether or not a name is a good name.

The Young Stars tournament is underway, the Vancouver Canucks have hit the course in the Jake Milford Golf Tournament, a goaltender will be in camp on PTO, and Anna calls Chris the enemy. If that episode rundown doesn't hit all the high notes, we're not sure what will.
