In their first episode of 2022, Drancer and Farhan discuss the continuing positive vibes of the Canucks as they are 8-0-1 in the Boudreau era. What are reasonable expectations for this team now? Is the team that much different from when they were coached by Travis Green? Drancer dives into the data.

Also, the pair discuss a daunting road trip ahead that will be a real test for this team, if the Canucks may be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline, and to wrap up, the first feel-good hockey story of 2022 as a Kraken fan and Canucks equipment manager are reunited after the fan gave him life-saving advice.

So much has transpired in the last couple of days, where do Drancer and Farhan even start? Well, how about the Canucks scoring four unanswered goals to beat the Blue Jackets? How about the 5th win in a row? They recap the game, and discuss if there is such thing as a “Boudreau Bump”, and blue line quality as depth gets narrow on defense.

Then, the guys lay out the work Jim Rutherford has in front of him, and the timeline of many of the changes in the team’s front office. Also, thoughts on Rutherford being forthright in his assessment of the roster. To wrap up, they break down the rapidly evolving COVID situation in Vancouver.
