Arguably the most devastating injury of the Canucks’ season was to Chris Tanev, whose steadying presence on the top pairing with Alex Edler has been sorely missed. Thankfully, he is returning to the lineup and should make a significant impact as the Canucks push to make the playoffs.
Daniel and Harrison discuss Tanev and the rest of the defence, including the way Yannick Weber filled in for injuries and Luca Sbisa’s decision-making. They also touch on Willie Desjardins’ vocabulary, Ryan Kesler’s article in The Players’ Tribune about his trade out of Vancouver, and whether it was good that the Canucks lost to the Buffalo Sabres and the Arizona Coyotes.
Before all that, however, they talk about which starter Pokemon is their favourite. This is the most important conversation they have ever had on this podcast.
