The Orca Pod

This week, host Brayden Ursel is joined by Brogan Houston of The Canuck Way and Doug Venn of the Canucks Speakeasy Podcast to talk everything happening right now in the world of Vancouver Canucks hockey. Being a big supporter of the American winger Brock Boeser, Venn gives his takes on the current play of the Minnesota native, the chances of him being traded ahead of the deadline, and more. The boys talk Bieksa's reaction to Chara's podcast appearance, plus the trio spends a lot of time talking about Bo Horvat and his choice to reject the Canucks' latest contract offer. Plenty of content on the future of the Canucks captain and how the end result will shape the future of this hockey club.

After COVID kept the podcast from airing last week, the boys finally get together to talk some Vancouver Canucks hockey. Host Brayden Ursel is joined by Brogan Houston and Aidan Serra to talk the Canucks wild come-from-behind 7-6 win over the visiting Montreal Canadiens. With five wins through their last seven games, there's lots of talk around current play, Pettersson's performance, Horvat's goals and more. Serra takes Ursel to the cleaners with his bold takes on Brock Boeser and the gents close things out with their Mount Rushmore of favourite players of all-time. Lots to dive into here, take a listen and give us a 5-star rating! 

This week, host Brayden Ursel brings guests Brogan Houston and Aidan Serra along for the ride as they talk about the latest news happening around the Vancouver Canucks. With a losing season weighing heavy over the current team, the boys take some time to talk about the glory days of the Sedins and Luongo after they were inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Brogan brings Canucks Trivia to the podcast, with questions around the twins, Bobby Lou, and the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals run. There's also some interesting buzz and chatter around a full-scale rebuild, and the right ways to go about it. Things get a little spicy. 

This week, host Brayden Ursel is joined by Brogan Houston of The Canuck Way and play-by-play commentator Aidan Serra. The boys talk the Canucks' recent play, putting up four wins through their last six games, and the difficulty of their five-game road trip out east. Lots of discussion around Kevin Bieksa Night, the Kuzmenko hat trick, Pettersson's five-point night and Bo Horvat's ability to find the back of the night. There's also some chatter around the Canucks jersey through time, and much more. 

This week, host Brayden Ursel welcomes Brogan Houston of The Canuck Way back to the podcast along with first-time guest Matthew Zator of The Hockey Writer. The boys are buzzing after back-to-back wins against the Seattle Kraken and the Pittsburgh Penguins, so there's a ton of positives to discuss. Finally, a win! Around the mic, the guys talk about the right way to win hockey games, dropping the gloves, 600 wins for Boudreau, the new look top six, trading for Ethan Bear, the upcoming Bieksa night against the Anaheim Ducks, and more. Segments on the show include The Orca Pod Poll Question and Who's Hot / Who's Not. 

This week, host Brayden Ursel is joined once again by Aidan Serra, play-by-play announcer, and Brogan Houston, writer at The Canuck Way. The boys gather up the courage to discuss a very defeating 0-7 start to the Vancouver Canucks 2022-23 season.  Lots of negatives to mull over, but the trio manages to bring some positives to the episode. Lots of talk around the direction of the team,  the possibility of North Vancouver boy Connor Bedard landing in Vancouver as the top pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, the recent play of J.T. Miller and Bo Horvat, and more. New segments are introduced to the show, including Talking Twitter and Who's Hot / Who's Not. Listen in as the episode brings you the goods of a dark and and depressing time in Vancouver hockey. 

In the first-ever episode of The Orca Pod Vancouver Canucks Podcast, host Brayden Ursel is joined by guests Aidan Serra and Brogan Houston of The Canuck Way. The boys discuss the disappointment of the Canucks dropping not one, not two, but three leads in a row to lose to the Edmonton Oilers, Philadelphia Flyers, and the Washington Capitals to start the season. The episode also dives into the individual play of Elias Pettersson, J.T. Miller, Bo Horvat and the rest of the core, while also checking in on new faces like Andrei Kuzmenko and Curtis Lazar. And as fans do every year, we make some fun predictions on the season to close out the show.
