Canucks Talk

Jamie and Thomas break down Adam Foote’s candid frustration with Vancouver’s centre depth and the growing sense of sadness, not anger, among Canucks fans.

They dig into the importance of setting a real direction, the shaky “young team” narrative, and what meaningful trade returns must look like. Plus: emotional postgame calls, Flames comparisons, and Foote’s fiery practice audio.

The Canucks drop a brutal 5–2 loss to the Flames, one of the league’s worst teams, on home ice, raising major questions about effort, structure, and honesty from management. Jamie and Thomas break down why Vancouver’s net-front is a free-for-all, why this team keeps failing to bank points, and why playoff odds now look worse than the draft lottery. They also dive into Elliotte Friedman’s trade buzz, who might be on the move, and what the organization truly owes its fans. Plus: roster moves, practice notes, and the daunting pace Vancouver must hit to stay alive.  This podcast is produced by Dominic Sramaty and Elan CharkThe views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Media Inc. or any affiliate.

Jamie and Thomas discuss the Canucks dropping a 4‑2 decision to Dallas that coach Adam Foote called their best game of the season. Vancouver leaned heavily on its top forwards, with Pettersson, Garland, Boeser, and DeBrusk all logging over 20 minutes, while the bottom of the roster barely saw the ice. With Calgary looming on Sunday in what feels like a must‑win, Brendan Batchelor and Dimitri Filipovic join the show to break down the Dallas loss, and dig into how Evander Kane’s impact and the Canucks’ power play could shape the weeks ahead.   This podcast is produced by Dominic Sramaty and Elan CharkThe views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Media Inc. or any affiliate.

Jamie and Thomas get into the Canucks falling 4‑2 to Dallas, and while Foote called it their best game of the season, one good effort every 22 games won’t cut it. Vancouver leaned heavily on its top forwards, with Pettersson, Garland, Boeser, and DeBrusk all logging over 20 minutes, while the bottom of the roster barely saw the ice. Next up is Calgary on Sunday—a near must‑win given the Flames’ resurgence since late October and the Canucks’ playoff odds dipping to 38%.
