C4 Hockey Podcast

It's the first episode after the 4 Nations Face-off and Chris has feelings. Plus the Canucks are back in action with a pair of road games, though the results of those are not aligned with the result from 4 Nations. Anna & Chris unpack everything, talk about the future of Pettersson, Boeser & Demko and so much more. P.S. Chris might curse at some point. ★ Support this podcast ★

In an effort to punish Anna & Chris for their pessimism, the Canucks decided to play some stellar - and dare we say inspired - hockey. Demko got a shutout and should've had a second. The blue line looked reliable, even WITHOUT Quinn. And the we've even seen glimpses of the team playing with speed. Can this all be real?! ★ Support this podcast ★

The JT Miller era with the Vancouver Canucks is officially over. With everything that took place on January 31, Anna & Chris shake things up with this episode to discuss how it all went down, there thoughts on how the team moves forward, and whether or not the moves make the team better. ★ Support this podcast ★

The Canucks can't lose on Saturdays, can't string together three solid periods of hockey every other day, and can't find a dance partner that wants to facilitate a trade at a price they're willing to pay. So what can the Canucks do? Anna & Chris break it all down. ★ Support this podcast ★

Is J.T. Miller still a Canuck? While the question continues to get asked, Anna & Chris wonder if it will ever get answered. The pair also groan about two lacklustre efforts & toss some lumber around about the one full of lustre. ★ Support this podcast ★

While Anna & Chris were pessismistic about the Canucks chances the past week, the team grabbed four out of a possible eight points - including a shutout win in Toronto. Despite this, the pair remain quite concerned on the success of the team going into the week that will be. ★ Support this podcast ★

With Anna back in the saddle, she and Chris discuss the past week of woes for the Vancouver Canucks. Lackluster play, a blueline that's blue, a goaltender with "back spasms," and dressing room drama that can only end in a multitude of ways. And that's just this episode! ★ Support this podcast ★

With the 2024 calendar year coming to a close, friend of the show JJ Guererro joins Chris to talk about the Vancouver Canucks year and share a few thoughts on the current news of the day - injuries, absences, and a blue line that was in trouble finding more trouble to get into. ★ Support this podcast ★

In case you missed it, the C4 Holiday Live Show returned for a second time on YouTube (and is still viewable).

The crew talk about the return o...

While the Canucks home woes continue, Anna isn't around to talk about it & instead arranged for a guest to hang out with Chris. Satiar Shah , host of Canucks Central on Sportsnet 650, joins the show to share his thoughts on what is needed to "fix" the Canucks at home, what the team might look to do to shore up the blue line, and how he thinks the team will handle Demko's return. And just a rem...

With four games since the last episode, the Canucks find a way to win three of them. Sure they were outshot in in a few, and sure they relied far too often on the NHL streak holding Kevin Lankinen, but it's the points that matter the most... right? Anna & Chris discuss what's going right, what's gone wrong, what helped Petey find his form, what to do about the Hronek sized hole on the blue lin...

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 w...

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. ★ Support this podcast ★

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. ★ Support this podcast ★

In a quiet week on the ice for the Vancouver Canucks, the talk got very loud about locker room rifts and an underperforming star.

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.

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.

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.

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. ★ Support this podcast ★

With less than two weeks to go before the start of training camp, Anna & Chris react to the "troubles" in the crease and wonder why the Vancouver Canucks can't have nice things. They also share three questions they have going into camp and do their best to answer each of them. Plus all the usual run-of-the-mill off-the-rails stuff they toss in. ★ Support this podcast ★

With Vasily Podkolzin off to Edmonton, Ian Clark off the ice, and Sammy Blais signed to a PTO contract, Anna & Chris finally have real Canucks news to discuss on the show. The pair also take a look back at the Canucks draft success over the past decade and wonder if things might be a bit dire... or not. ★ Support this podcast ★

The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris have come and gone since the last episode of the show, yet despite that there's very little Canucks news to chat about. Anna & Chris make-do, as they are apt to do, and discuss all sorts of different things. For instance, what did they enjoy most about the Olympic Games? Why are the Sushi races at Vancouver Canadians games so much fun? And what technology shou...

Arturs Šilovs signed a two year deal in what some might suggest is a tidy bit of business. They followed this up with a one year deal with Daniel Sprong, in what some might suggest is a tidy bit of business.

The Vancouver Canucks sorted out one question mark on the blue line by signing Filip Hronek to an 8-year deal. Is it too long? Is it too much? Anna & Chris consider these questions and more. A few other Canucks contracts were signed, though many question marks remain. And what a wild Stanley Cup Final it has been. ★ Support this podcast ★
