What to Expect From the 2026/27 NHL Season (feat. Hockey Psychology) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, I’m joined by Anthony from Hockey Psychology to preview the 2026–27 NHL season and sort through which teams have actually improved. The Toronto Maple Leafs have changed, the San Jose Sharks could be ready to take the next step, and Anthony isn’t quite as sold on the Montreal Canadiens as some people are. We also look at what makes the league’s best teams work and where the Vancouver Canucks fit into all of this. That includes Elias Pettersson’s confidence, Manny Malhotra’s appro

In this video, Sapsterr joins me to revisit Manny Malhotra’s Vancouver Canucks now that training camp and preseason hockey have given us a first look at the system.

Read excerpt
In this episode, Canuck Clay joins me to talk about what it would take for the Vancouver Canucks to earn their fans’ trust back, even if they’re still near the bottom of the standings. Clay explains why he stepped away from season tickets after 15 years and what could bring him back. We also get into why the team is starting to feel like the Canucks again, what pride and effort should look like on the ice, and the danger of letting another short burst of success derail the rebuild. - Nuckhead
Why This Canucks Season Might Actually Be Fun (feat. nucksmemes) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Canucks finished dead last last season, but that doesn’t mean this year has to be miserable. Nucko, also known as nucksmemes , joins me to figure out what would make this rebuilding season genuinely fun and successful. Even if wins and losses aren’t the main measurement. We discuss why the team already feels different, the danger of becoming competitive too quickly, Aatu Räty’s development, possible fan favourites, Paul Cotter’s glowing review of the organization, Elias Pettersson’s relation
