With the first full week of NHL playoffs almost behind us, it’s likely nice for everyone, fans and players alike, that this Canucks season can finally be put to bed. I know I’m not the only one who felt as though the last 20 games took twice as long to get through as the first 62 did. But now with the season in the rearview and still the very early … Read More
A Search for Good Things to Say About Canucks Hockey Right Now.
A quick check back over my recent articles… Yup, uh huh, just as I thought, all bummers. Right now, it feels like there is a lot to… for lack of a better word, to bitch about, with this team. However, I would like to try my best to put a pin in that for now. There will always be time for doom and gloom speak. But there must be a … Read More
How to Feel as a Canucks Fan After This Trade Deadline
The clock strikes twelve, and that’s it. There will be no more trades for the Vancouver Canucks this season. Not all suspected or possible moves were made, but there was no doubt that some significant personnel moved around this trade deadline. The quality of the returns and the reality of what has walked out the door are both a mixed bag. With the team not fully convinced to start moving … Read More
Engagement or Apathy, What’s the Play for Fans as the Canucks Navigate a Rebuild?
The Canucks and all of the NHL are on a three-week break thanks to NHL players finally returning to Olympic competition. With this pause to the NHL season, Canucks fans are also now in for a world of difference as they sit down to take in best on best Olympic hockey.

List of Active Vancouver Canucks Podcasts for the 2025/26 NHL Season
This season marks the third iteration of this article. Three seasons ago, I set out to create an article/ list that would feature a guide to all currently active Canucks podcasts that are out there. This was not a revolutionary idea; a quick Google search may make it seem like many such lists exist already. But it’s the timeliness and the lack of updating of many lists that frustrated me … Read More
We Snuck Branding for Our Old Podcast Into Rogers Arena. It Stayed for Nearly a Decade… Now It’s Gone.
I’ll be the first to admit that the title to this article is wordy. But this is a unique kind of bizarre and somewhat amusing story that is hard to condense into a title that makes any kind of sense. Please bear with me. After three attempts, Trent (co-creator, co-writer on this very website) finally picked up his phone midway through the Canucks vs. Bruins game on January 3, 2026. … Read More
Perpetually Grieving the Loss of Quinn Hughes the Canuck
Last Christmas, my brother-in-law gifted a Canucks Jersey to his girlfriend; it was, of course, a Quinn Hughes jersey. As the box was opened, I watched as someone who I had never seen excited about hockey become visibly excited to receive a hockey jersey. For many reasons, Quinn so easily opened the door for those kinds of moments, moments that transcended the normal reach of the Canucks. Of the many … Read More
Complaining… Literally Just Complaining About the Canucks
I’m a new Dad as of the beginning of October, so I am still getting used to the new schedule that a baby imposes on ones life. While there are many things that I can now no longer do on the regular, I can, in theory, still do one thing that I enjoy, which is write about the Canucks… in theory. However, as I mentioned, new Dad, getting used to … Read More
Train of Thought – Are the Canucks Cooked? Or Burnt?
Welcome to Trent’s Train of Thought, a series that, instead of diving deep into one topic, touches on several. This edition has thoughts on the Keifer Sherwood problem, undeserved apathy and Lankinen Truthers rejoicing?
Elias Pettersson, He’s Back!… Almost
The anticipation around how Elias Pettersson would perform this season couldn’t have been higher headed into October. After such a disappointing 2024-25 campaign where EP40’s production feel so far behind his prior seasons, this year would be do or die for Pettersson and the Canucks. The thought of another year of a Pettersson regression with six more years still to go on his contract was bone chilling. Thankfully so far … Read More
