Clay's Canucks Commentary

Quinn Hughes had three assists (including career assist 300) in the Canucks' 5-1 over the Ducks. I break down the game, as well as try to predict where Dakota Joshua might slot in upon his return.

Dakota Joshua will likely draw into the lineup Thursday night, although there is a small chance he plays Tuesday. Meanwhile, it sounds like Thatcher Demko is only 2-3 weeks away. We talk about the impact of both players, and I spend a lot of time answering your questions...both Canucks-related and not,

We are now 10 games into the season, and the Canucks are doing fine from a standings perspective. But has the team established a true identity just yet? What should the team's identity be? And I bring Legendary Lucas Gates onto the show to celebrate his recent birthday.

I was joined by Doodle Hockey to break down the Canucks 6-0 loss to the New Jersey Devils. It was great to hear his take on the current state of the Canucks, and what he would do to turn things around.

Rick Tocchet made a number of changes at Canucks practice today, the day after a 4-3 home loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. Arshdeep Bains took Nils Hoglander's spot on the second line with Elias Pettersson and Connor Garland, while Erik Brannstrom was paired with Noah Juulsen, leaving Vincent Desharnais to reunite with Derek Forbort. Forbort returned to practice after the unfortunate death of his...

I did a quick recap of the Canucks' 4-3 win over the Penguins before looking ahead to the Hurricanes and Devils. It will be interesting to see if Kevin Lankinen makes a fifth straight start, or if Arturs Silovs will get the nod in goal.

The Canucks scored four unanswered goals in the second period to defeat the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 at Rogers Arena. The night was full of memorable moments from Arshdeep Bains' first career goal, to Elias Pettersson's first goal of the season, to the pregame ceremony to honour Tyler Myers playing in 1,000 regular season games.

We're only 6 games into the season, but already there have been many intriguing storylines for the Canucks. I get into all of them in this livestream. And we gave away some Vanbase gift certificates.

The Canucks returned home from a successful road trip and were back at practice today. Quinn Hughes got a well-deserved day off, while Dakota Joshua continued on his path to returning. And JT Miller and Elias Pettersson got into a small exchange.

I tried to recap the Canucks' 6-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks but was instead blown away by the generosity of the CCC Crew! Have a listen for yourself.

We went over the forward lines and D pairings from practice today as the Canucks prepare to face Connor Bedard and the Blackhawks. JT Miller missed practice on a maintenance day, while Dakota Joshua continues to practice in a non-contact jersey.

It took 5 games to get there, but the Canucks are now over .500 for the season. Are you confident that they have turned the corner after a shaky start to the season? Or are there still a lot of question marks for you?

JT Miller played overtime hero in the Canucks' first win of the season: a 3-2 win over the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers. Erik Brannstrom made his Canucks debut, and Kevin Lankinen was outstanding in net.

Despite winning the special teams battle, the Canucks dropped a 4-1 decision to Tampa Bay in the Lightning home opener. While it may still be a tad early to panic, you can certain sense some unrest among the Canucks fan base.

I recap my 24 Hour Livestream from the weekend, and then I preview the Canucks four-game road trip that kicks off in Tampa Bay on Tuesday night.

Despite a red-hot start to the game, the Canucks ended up giving up four unanswered goals to the Flames en route to a 6-5 overtime loss. Brock Boeser, Quinn Hughes, and JT Miller had 2 points each to lead the Canucks.

We predict the result of tomorrow night's season opener vs. the Calgary Flames. Spoiler alert: Canucks fans a pretty optimistic.

The Canucks' opening day roster includes Aatu Raty but not Arshdeep Bains. As well, Thatcher Demko and Dakota Joshua will start the season on IR. Given the Tucker Poolman trade, the Canucks were able to declare a roster of 23 active players PLUS Demko and Joshua...and all under the salary cap!

It was a very busy for GM Patrik Allvin and the Canucks as they traded Tucker Poolman and a 4th round pick to the Colorado Avalanche for Erik Brannstrom. Then, they signed Nils Hoglander to a 3 year contract extension worth $3M per season.

The Canucks will play their final preseason game Friday night against Edmonton, and then all the games will count for real. We talk about the final roster battles to keep an eye on during the game.

The Canucks lost Jiri Patera to waivers (to the Boston Bruins) just 3 months after signing him in free agency. And Aatu Raty lined up between Nils Hoglander and Connor Garland on the Canucks' third line at practice.

We talked about all of the Canucks news from the day: the rosters cuts, the full practice (with actual forward lines and d-pairings), and JT Miller breaking his silence about his absence from preseason games.

An undermanned Canucks squad were defeated by Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 in overtime. Kevin Lankinen was decent in goal, and both Kiefer Sherwood and Daniel Sprong were noticeable. The Canucks have one more preseason game before the regular season begins next week.

The Canucks signed Vilmer Alriksson to a three-year entry level contract, and also made a number of roster moves ahead of their final two preseason games (both against the Oilers). We talk about Aatu Raty's chances of making the team, and try to predict if JT Miller will ever play a preseason game again.

Newcomers Jake Debrusk, Daniel Sprong, Kiefer Sherwood, and Vincent Desharnais all factored into the scoring as the Canucks picked up a 4-3 overtime win over the Calgary Flames in a game played in Abbotsford. After recapping the game, I bring on a special guest to greet her a happy birthday.
