Fights, Playoff Chances, and revoked media credentials all make an appearance in this episode.

While the Vancouver Goldeneyes failed to grab some final points before the Olympic break, the Vancouver Canucks succeeded in doing more than Anna & Chris ever imagined - they got 3 points instead of 2 as they wrapped up their pre-Olympic break homestand. The pair nitpick over the usual with both the Goldeneyes and Canucks, before they spend time wondering if Adam Foote could have one foot out the door.

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.

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!

Pooping on Someone’s Playoff Party - Apr. 11, 2023

Full Press Coverage — Tue, 11 Apr 2023 12:00:00 -0700

With the Vancouver Canucks seeing just a couple of "mean-something" hockey games in their future, they do their best in one of them to help wreck the potential playoff party. Anna & Chris also talk about the Vancouver Canucks team awards, which - if any - they don't agree with, and whether the all the awards carry the same gravitas as they once did. And then there's this little thing with former Canucks captain Bo Horvat, what his words mean to the longest-running Canucks podcast, and why gatekeeping fans feelings is bad.

Anna & Chris react to the news the Canucks don't have much mean anything hockey left, and finally get into NHL Awards chatter as they wonder if Quinn Hughes has a shot at the Norris.

Tip Top under Tocchet - Mar. 28, 2023

Full Press Coverage — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 12:00:00 -0700

The Vancouver Canucks continue to win more games than they lose, putting more distance between them & a chance to win the Bedard sweepstakes. Anna & Chris discuss how this puts them in a position of conflict, as the chance of making the playoffs this season is ever so slim, yet there's little about this roster that suggests next season will be different than the past two. The pair also wonder if a successful franchise can build itself through NCAA & European free agency, instead of the entry draft, and take another peek at what they think happens once the off-season strikes.

Going into the NHL trade deadline, Anna & Chris expected the Vancouver Canucks to be creative. Whether it was to find a way to offload a tough contract, or stock up the cupboard with picks to do that leading up to the draft, they thought it would be an interesting deadline nonetheless. They weren't wrong, yet they were so wrong.

The pair pick apart the few moves the Canucks made, why the tank is starting to throw a track or two, and what comes next as the season slowly winds itself down.

And while Canucks fans & players provided Bruce with the best farewell they could, the Vancouver Canucks management group decided the best way to deal with the aftermath from the situation is to blame us & the media for all the rampant speculation.

The Burn Unit with Aaron Volpatti - Oct. 25, 2022

Full Press Coverage — Tue, 25 Oct 2022 12:15:00 -0700

While the Vancouver Canucks early season difficulties continue (they lost again while this episode was being recorded), the troubles the team face pale to those former Canuck Aaron Volpatti encountered on his journey to the NHL.

Aaron joins hosts Anna & Chris to talk about the launch of his new book, FIGHTER: Defying The NHL Odds, and the story he tells about overcoming adversity and defining his own comeback story to simply play hockey. Using a unique visualization process, Aaron took back control of his life at a time he was told his journey was to go in a different direction, not only getting back to the game he loved yet demonstrating a story that took him to the NHL.

And after speaking to Aaron, Anna & Chris take stock of what's happened (or hasn't) in the past week as the Canucks continue to lose - from some hot quotes to jerseys hitting the ice, to home-team players getting bood and a team potentially in disarray.

FIGHTER: Defying The NHL Odds

For 54 days following the book’s release on October 25, 40% of the profits will go directly to the Burn Fund Centre here in Vancouver – a tribute to his Vancouver Canucks jersey number (#54) and 40% second and third-degree burns.

Full Press Coverage — Tue, 18 Oct 2022 13:00:00 -0700

The Vancouver Canucks have kicked off the 2022-23 NHL Season in epic fashion, though maybe not the best version of epic if you happen to be a Canucks fans. Anna & Chris react to three straight games where the Vancouver Canucks have held multi-goal leads, yet found a way to lose each one of them. While some are placing the blame on NHL officiating, and others on horrible puck luck, it's hard not to suggest the Canucks have been at fault in all three. And that certainly adequate blue line when healthy? It's not healthy and certainly not adequate.

Go for Bo - Apr. 19, 2022

Full Press Coverage — Tue, 19 Apr 2022 14:00:00 -0700

To make the 2022 NHL Playoffs, the Vancouver Canucks are in a position that requires them to win most - if not all - of their remaining games. Anna & Chris have been saying. Most of the 138 Canucks podcasts are saying it. Mainstream media is saying it. Even some of the most optimistic fans in the Smylosphere are saying it.

So who had the Canucks doing their part by wining every game over the past two weeks?

While this wild & crazy ride may continue through to the end of the season, Anna & Chris wonder how feasible it will be to do so with a recently recovered Brock Boeser & the absence of a recently injured Bo Horvat. Does this team continue Chiasson the dream? And with an offseason happening regardless of the outcome of the next two weeks (and maybe beyond), how many of the unrestricted & restricted free agents will make a return to Vancouver next season?

So much to discuss in the latest episode of C4!

With regular co-host Chris back on the injured reserve, Anna reaches out across podcast lines and forms a truce with Jordan Bowman, co-host of the Trust The Process podcast, to join her to talk Vancouver Canucks hockey. The two pick apart why the Canuck have such horrible starts, whether Bubble Demko is about to burst or already has, the continued conversation that orbits JT Miller, and eventually get into a nostalgic look back at the Canucks media (and social media) landscape.

The Lunatic Fringe - Mar. 8, 2022

Full Press Coverage — Tue, 08 Mar 2022 19:30:00 -0800

With two wins from the Vancouver Canucks - in games Chris suggested would be losses - the team is back within reach of a wildcard playoff spot. How wild is that?! He & Anna discuss what they liked from each of the two games, and whether this continued run of success means the team looks to possibly buy instead of sell come trade deadline day. They also discuss the impact of the world events on the game they follow, and how it's impacted their overall outlook.

Love is Difficult - Feb. 15, 2022

Full Press Coverage — Tue, 15 Feb 2022 15:00:00 -0800

Love is difficult; for one human being to love a hockey team is the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us. Yet we persevere. Anna & Chris get together to whisper sweet Canucks nothings... errr... somethings from the week that was, wins against the Coyotes & Leafs, and a wicked loss against the Islanders. They also talk about what the love to see from the Canucks as they look to evolved hockey culture, and a few things they hate that holds hockey culture back.

Chris kicks off the episode sharing an update on his health and how he's apparently going through what much of the Canucks roster has gone through in the past couple months. He & Anna then take a look at the week that was, whether there remains reasons to be optimisitc on playoff success (Chris thinks so and has bet on it), and if the team is close enough to be buyers. Yet all that said, should the team be sellers come trade deadline day, who's would the two put on the trade block?

The Vancouver Canucks kicked off their road trip in style, getting handily beaten down in Florida. They look uninspired against the Hurricanes.

Whether Chris cursed the schedule last episode or not, the Vancouver Canucks have not played since we last recorded after they postponed the game against the Senators on fairly short notice. Yet with them back in action Tuesday (maybe) against the Panthers, they will have had no games for 10 days and will play 11 games squeezed into the second half of the month (20 days). Anna & Chris break down expectations for the team on this return to the ice, what options the team & league will have to figure out the schedule, and Anna has an idea for the All-Star Game.

Postponement Protocol - Dec. 20, 2021

Full Press Coverage — Tue, 21 Dec 2021 13:00:00 -0800

Before their 2021 campaign came to a screeching halt, the Vancouver Canucks rattled off even more wins to keep the streak alive under new coach Bruce Boudreau. To help explain why this was even possible is Chris Faber, co-host/producer/writer of many things. The two Chris' wax long about what it's like to be engaged by this entertaining brand of hockey we were witnessing, and wonder aloud if the team will be able to continue the unexpected run once games return. On that note, Faber gives his thoughts on the changes that took place in the organization a couple weeks back and what he thinks the league will do in the face of a resurgent virus.

Three days later, Jim Rutherford is hired as the President of Hockey Operations and it comes to light he was already offered the job.

Full Press Coverage — Mon, 06 Dec 2021 10:30:00 -0800

While the Canucks wrapped up their road trip with a dominant win in Ottawa, a dismal loss at home against the Pittsburgh Penguins - a game where a loud Fire Benning chant was heard on broadcast & a jersey was thrown on the ice - resulted in some late-night Sunday changes here in Vancouver. Jim Benning, John Weisbrod, Travis Green & Nolan Baumgartner are out. Bruce Boudreau & Scott Walker are in. The Steamer is the interim. And this all took place on a night where we planned on recording the podcast early as it was.

With the Vancouver Canucks about to wrap up another rough road trip in Ottawa, Anna & Chris wonder if the win against the Montreal Canadians is enough to steady the ship. Speaking of the Canadians, who knew that you could make changes this early in a season after going to the Stanley Cup Final the year before!? The pair also wonder if changes will be made upon the Canucks returning to Vancouver, or if it's simply a quesiton that will continue to be asked day-by-day.

Solid as a Rock (Bottom) - Nov. 23, 2021

Full Press Coverage — Tue, 23 Nov 2021 15:30:00 -0800

In a week that contained a fairly comfortable win, a one-goal loss, and a loss to one of the league’s best teams, Chris and Anna find a way to be negative - though they still believe this podcast is the C4 Canucks Playoffs Podcast. The Vancouver Canucks don't look good, have yet to figure out how to shore up the penalty kill, are taking things day-to-day after some internal meetings, and are making all sorts of phone calls too.

What a time to be a fan!

Despite this still being the C4 Canucks Playoffs Podcast, there's not much to suggest a storm is brewing with the effort the Vancouver Canucks provided on this recent roadtrip. Anna & Chris recap how it all went so wrong, whether or not a change on the bench or in the front-office will happen, and if this team is as poorly constructed as some suggest. The two also take a look back at Jim Benning's tenure as a General Manager in Vancouver and ascertain if "two more years" is what's needed for the Canucks to win a Cup.

It’s A Special Team - Nov. 9, 2021

Full Press Coverage — Tue, 09 Nov 2021 14:30:00 -0800

After a rough start to their opening homestand, the Vancouver Canucks not only figured how to score on the power play - at least against the Dallas Stars - yet they also figured out how to get two wins out of three in the past week. So long as you ignore the lacklustre effort in two of those games, and the requirement that Thatcher Demko go full matrix to make save after save. Anna & Chris talk stock of the week that was, wonder about the week that will be, and discuss what changes will be made - to goaltender safety, to hockey culture, to the leaders of the NHL and the NHLPA.

After going .500 on the road, the Vancouver Canucks found themselves back at home in front a full barn with expectations they'd continue the trend of manufacturing points. Unfortunately, this hasn't been the case. Anna & Chris discuss what's going on, if it's something more than the usual "October duldrums," and when the team will find a way to get itself going. The two then discuss the news of the past week that the NHL has a significant culture issue, one that allowed the Chicago Blackhawks to put a Stanley Cup ahead of protecting one of its own, and what faith they have (if any) that things will ever change.

Cracking the Code - Mar. 30, 2021

Full Press Coverage — Tue, 30 Mar 2021 15:00:00 -0700

After two uninspired performances from the Canucks before their one-week break, Anna & Chris decided to pick up the slack with an inspired podcast episode. The two kick around a few ideas on what the Canucks can do leading up to the trade deadline, and try to figure out if simply suggesting "So you say they have a chance," is sufficient to remain optimistic with their playoff chances. Then you have Darryl Sutter being Darryl Sutter over in Calgary and Tim Peel slipping up and taking the fall on behalf of the NHL and there's a whole lot of code to be cracked.

We’ll Always Have Paris - Mar. 23, 2021

Full Press Coverage — Tue, 23 Mar 2021 14:00:00 -0700

Somehow, someway, the Vancouver Canucks have continued to scrape together wins & points against and find themselves on the precipice of above .500 hockey. To help break what's going on down is Mike Paris, co-host of the Game Time Decision podcast. Mike, Anna, and Chris discuss whether or not the Canucks are truly a "good team" and wonder aloud if Artem Chubarov's car is still stuck under Rogers Arena (really!!). They also spend some time discussing the evolution of the Canucks podcasting landscape and what it's like for aspiring podcasters and content creators to get their start now.

Always Darkest Before the Jawn - Mar. 16, 2021

Full Press Coverage — Tue, 16 Mar 2021 13:00:00 -0700

The Vancouver Canucks have six wins in their last ten games, most of which they've played without Elias Pettersson. And despite this, they remain two games below .500 & three points out of a playoff spot - held by the Montreal Canadians who have games in hand. Helping break down whether the Canucks have a chance is Jawn Jang, formerly of Sportsnet 650AM and currently with CKNW 980AM. Jawn, Anna & Chris discuss the week that was and wonder if the team gets any points against the Habs in the week that will be. And having crunched some simple numbers, Chris comes to a shocking realization about the team's performance over the decades he's been following them.

Yet here we are watching the Canucks take four of four points off of them, before taking two from the Canadians (despite giving one point back). Not only that, the Canucks winning streak has been without Elias Pettersson! Leave it to the pair to try and explain what is going on!

The Most Dangerous Lead in Hockey - Mar. 2, 2021

Full Press Coverage — Tue, 02 Mar 2021 13:00:00 -0800

Last episode, Anna & Chris demanded the Vancouver Canucks grab points off the Edmonton Oilers. Unfortunately, the Canucks didn't listen - despite going up 3-0 early in the first game against the Oil. After a short break to collect themselves, they decided to take a different approach with a 3-0 lead against the Winnipeg Jets and found themselves a solid win. Is it enough to turn the tides? Or do the Canucks remain rudderless? And while the trade deadline is still over a month away, scuttlebutt has Jake Virtanen possibly on the move. Unless you're Kevin Paul Dupont who thinks it could be Petey or Hughes.

While the Vancouver Canucks halted their slide with a win over the Calgary Flames, the week since the last episode was still tumultuous. From the sudden end to TSN 1040 on the sports-talk radio landscape in Vancouver to Francesco Aquilini suggesting he had "full confidence" in Jim Benning, Travis Green and the rest of the management team, to work boots being the new dress code, lots has been going on. Friend of the show, and former advertiser on 1040, Jordan Bateman joins Chris & Anna to talk about the week that was and provide a different perspective on everything that's happened in the past seven days.

And after the loss, where the Canucks looked so uninspired, things changed. Are the Canucks truly a "have-not" team in the North Division?

The past week was a rough one for the Vancouver Canucks. Kicking things off with a loss in what Matt described as a "must-win game" against the Calgary Flames, the Canucks only managed to get a shootout win against the Montreal Canadians before stopping the slide against the Ottawa Senators. Recapping all that went wrong, the little that went right, and wondering what's in front of the team as they wrap up the Sens before heading out on the road are Anna & Chris. Plus they discuss why the Myers hit was actually bad, why Jim Benning should be on a short leash after SEVEN SEASONS, and why it's still too early to count the Canucks out of the NHL playoffs.
