With Anna & Chris heading into their Summer schedule of one episode in each of July & August, the pair share a few thoughts on the Vancouver Canucks drafting Caleb Malhotra when his Dad is head coach. And as it was apparent the team had "an approach" to the rest of their 2026 draft class, the two share if they think it was a good one or something similar to draft classes of olde. And with...

To help Anna & Chris understand all that has happened in the world of the Vancouver Goldeneyes these past couple weeks, Lachlan Irvine joins to share all that he knows.

And to wrap the episode up, they share who they have the Van...

The Vancouver Canucks have a head coach. The Vancouver Goldeneyes do not. Anna & Chris spend the bulk of the episode talking about what this all means for the two teams going into the "silly season" - entry drafts, expansion drafts-ish, and everything that all of that entails. ★ Support this podcast ★

The Vancouver Canucks will have an entirely new coaching staff. The Vancouver Goldeneyes might... maybe. The Montreal Victoire have won the Walter Cup. The PWHL has expanded into four markets, one of which was completely off Anna & Chris' radar. And the NHL playoffs are in full swing. ★ Support this podcast ★

With both the NHL and PWHL hockey seasons complete for the two teams from Vancouver, Anna & Chris discuss a few happenings over the past week.

And with a PWHL season under the belt for this podcast, the pair discuss what r...

The Vancouver Canucks season is over and Patrik Allvin is looking for a new gig. The Vancouver Goldeneyes are officially out of the post-season and working on making their best of the Gold Plan. Anna and Chris have thoughts on everything and more. Was the Canucks culture really that bad? Did the Goldeneyes "peak" at the wrong time of the season? And is Anna on to something about naming a four-goal...

After a typical string of losses, the Vancouver Canucks suddenly remembered what fun hockey was like. And while the math suggests the Vancouver Goldeneyes still have a shot at the post-season, three consecutive losses have put them on the bring. Anna & Chris discuss what the last few games for each will entail, and what each must do to embrace the season-ticket holder going into 2026-27. ★ Sup...

With how long Anna & Chris have been at the podcast game, you'd think they'd have more successful weeks of prognostication.

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

The NHL Trade Deadline has come and gone, the Vancouver Canucks remain in last place in the standings, and didn't make all the deals everyone hoped they would.

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.

Straight from the airport, Anna rejoins Chris to catch up on all the Vancouver Canucks and Vancouver Goldeneyes have been up to while she's been away.

With Anna away, Chris puts out a call to the Smylosphere to have another voice join him to talk puck and finds that call answered by Derek. The two discuss the goings on with the Vancouver Canucks in a post-Quinn Hughes world, why the team is suddenly finding so much success since, and if this was the fastest rebuild in NHL history. ★ Support this podcast ★

The Quinn Hughes era with the Vancouver Canucks has come to an end.

It was a tough week for the Vancouver Canucks, the Vancouver Goldeneyes, and the Anaheim Ducks. Why the Ducks? Well they lost to the Canucks. So maybe that's a good thing.

Anna & Chris wonder if either is close to turning a corner or if the forecast remains poor. ★ Support...
