Speed Kills, Patience Wears Thin, and the Case for the Long GameIn this episode ofCanucks Only, Rob and Shylo unpack two losses — to Philadelphia and San Jose — that underline the same uncomfortable truth: the Canucks are being beaten by speed, structure, and cohesion, not just talent.The Flyers game is treated as a respectable loss. The youth contribute, faceoffs are strong, and Thatcher Demko is excellent despite the scoreboard. But Vancouver struggles to generate sustained pressure or clean zone

Winning, Worrying, and the Most Confusing Hot Streak in YearsIn this episode ofCanucks Only, Rob and Shylo try to make sense of a Canucks team that suddenly won’t stop winning — and why that might be the most confusing outcome of all. Fresh off victories against the Devils, Rangers, Islanders and Bruins, the Canucks are riding a four-game streak that feels both exciting and dangerous, especially for a team many fans had already mentally placed on a rebuild track.The Islanders game stands out as one

Quiet Wins, Hard Choices, and Learning to Be a Team AgainIn this episode ofCanucks Only, Rob and Shylo settle into a rare moment of calm following a shutout win over the New York Rangers — a game that didn’t thrill, didn’t overwhelm, but quietly suggested the Canucks may be discovering a new version of themselves in the post-Quinn Hughes era.Coming off an emotional win against New Jersey, expectations were cautiously optimistic heading into a matchup with a struggling Rangers team.

A Funeral, a Reset, and the First Day of the RebuildThis episode ofCanucks Onlyopens not as a routine recap, but as an emergency session. Rob and Shylo jump on the microphones within hours of the unthinkable becoming official: Quinn Hughes is no longer a Vancouver Canuck.

The Report Card Nobody WantedIn this episode ofCanucks Only, Rob and Shylo put the emotion aside and do something far more uncomfortable: they grade the Vancouver Canucks, player by player, after roughly 30 games. What starts as a simple report card quickly becomes a revealing snapshot of a team stuck in the middle — not bad enough to bottom out cleanly, not cohesive enough to move forward with confidence.At the top of the list is Quinn Hughes, the lone constant in a season defined by fluctuation

Speed, Shrugs, and the Kids Keeping It AliveIn this episode ofCanucks Only, Rob and Shylo work through three very different games that somehow arrive at the same unsettling conclusion: the Canucks are surviving on youth, flashes, and hope, but struggling to look like a fully formed NHL team. What begins as a thoughtful breakdown of an entertaining loss slowly turns into a deeper conversation about identity, leadership, and a locker room that feels quieter than it should.The episode opens with a look

“Wild Ducks, Wacky Bounces, and a Message Sent.Fresh off a back-to-back run of recording, Rob and Shylo return immediately after the Canucks’ chaotic win over the Ducks — a game that was equal parts thrilling, sloppy, stressful, and wildly entertaining. Anaheim came in as the top team in the Pacific and played like a riverboat gambling squad all night, trading chances at high speed. For fans, it was a rollercoaster. For the hosts, it was a rare breath of fresh air: the Canucks finally looked

Fresh off a stretch of sloppy, disconnected road hockey, the Canucks finally had practice time, and it showed: clean breakouts, strong possession, and all the
