Show Notes
In this episode, I talk about what’s really going on with Nils Höglander—does Rick Tocchet have it out for him? I also cover the Canucks’ need for defensive depth, Quinn Hughes’ Hart Trophy potential, and whether Cole Sillinger could be joining the team. On top of that, I share what I’ve learned since starting the nuckhead YouTube channel, discuss Tyler Myers’ basketball skills, and question if Thatcher Demko and Kevin Lankinen are the NHL’s top goalie duo.
I also explore whether Noah Juulsen is ready to level up, debate who’s the real best defenceman—Quinn Hughes or Cale Makar—and share my thoughts on Conor Garland and the J.T. Miller “situation.”
Oh, and I can't wait to see “Daddy Mäki" make "the mesh go smacky smacky" on a regular basis.

In this episode, Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal, co-host of Donnie and Dhali, joins me to talk about Vancouver's ugly start to the season and what it actually tells us about the rebuild. The blowout losses aren't surprising, but Rick argues that the organization can't afford to get its draft picks and prospect development wrong again.
In this video, Elijah Ford joins me to figure out which Vancouver Canucks are forcing their way into bigger roles just four games into the season. Paul Cotter is already exceeding expectations, Max Sasson is earning tough matchups, and the lineup we imagined a month ago is starting to look different.
In this clip from my conversation with Hockey Psychology, Anthony tells me how he built his channel and why more hockey fans now turn to independent creators for analysis. We also talk about copyright claims that blocked his videos and how the NHL could give creators clearer rules while protecting game rights.
In this episode, I’m joined by Canucks Army’s Dave Hall to talk about whether the Vancouver Canucks are taking the right approach with their prospects. We get into why Braeden Cootes belongs in Abbotsford, whether junior hockey can be “too easy” for Adam Novotný, and what Jonathan Lekkerimäki needs to show beyond his shot.
