Thank you night owls

Saving the Arizona talk for next week...

On a team that can't play defence, why aren't you using one guy who can help?

The Vancouver Canucks could have a soap opera based on them — they haven't had a boring day in weeks. Saturday marked the debut of The Buyout Line, The Lotto Line was back to their usual self, and oh yeah the owner set off a firestorm with a six tweet thread. Ty Pardy joins the podcast to discuss his thoughts on the future of Jim Benning and Travis Green, what's the best way to use Tyler Myers going forward, should the Canucks regret not re-signing Markstrom and Tanev, plus a bunch more.

He had to have gone in that room...

We're on a twice-weekly schedule now, as there's just too much to talk about. The Canucks have been involved in two straight games where the opposing team has flipped the switch in the third, and they look like a team waiting for the other shoe to drop. Elias Pettersson is still down bad, and Markstrom gets Calgary the win — is that enough to pull the plug on the Jim Benning experience? Plus we pay tribute to a Vancouver institution we lost on Wednesday, TSN 1040.

And you can firmly blame Jimbo

Eh, losing and boring are first cousins

Cold day in the city...

The most positive hockey list you'll ever consume.

The fourth lowest point percentage, third-worst in expected goals percentage, and second-worst in scoring chance for percentage — the Vancouver Canucks are down bad right now and things are grim. Why is the effort level so brutal? What can be done to fix the defence? Are we starting down another extended death march to end the season? Noah Strang of Nucks Misconduct joins the show to talk all that, if Jim Benning should be the GM of this team going forward, why Nils Hoglander might be the only bright spot for this team at the moment, and much more.

Did Bondi jinx J.T. Miller?

Dear Hockey Gods, take care of my people.

Kyle, we are with you.

It's not what you think...

Ridiculous

The Canucks swept the Sens and beat the Jets — the pitchforks can be put away (for now). Vancouver beat the Jets with their best defensive performance of the season, can that continue against Montreal and Toronto? Nils Hoglander stonk is going to the Moon, and we're holding on forever 💎🙌.

Thanks to AR-PIN for the input

Is Boeser primed to start competing for the Rocket Richard Trophy?

Oh Canadia baby

Ottawa, thanks for the awakening.

Listen to your friends

Montreal is for real and Vancouver may not be?

This could be a momentous week for the Vancouver Canucks. The runway to get things back on track is shrinking, and it's imperative that the Canucks get a minimum of six points against the Sens and Jets (preferably in regulation.) Petey has a new agent — the same one as Quinn Hughes. Is it time to crack each other's skulls open and feast on the goo inside? And how hot is the seat Jim Benning is sitting on? Brad Thomas of the Point Shot Hockey podcast joins the show to talk about all that, what the Canucks need to do to turn this thing around, and which free agent does this team miss the most.
