Hockey, Actually is a hockey podcast covering all things related to Vancouver’s hockey scene. From the Vancouver Canucks, to the Vancouver Goldeneyes, to the Abbotsford Canucks, co-hosts and The Hockey News reporters Izzy Cheung and Nicolleta Panos have you covered!

The Boston Bruins picked up a 3-2 overtime win over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday. Boston was led by Fraser Minten, who scored twice, including the overtime winner. Minten is from Vancouver, so to have that kind of game in his hometown was special for the 21-year-old forward.

The ethical tank continues. The Vancouver Canucks lost 3-2 in overtime against the Boston Bruins. Even though it was a loss on the scoreboard, the game content was much more entertaining, just like the previous outing against the Seattle Kraken.

The Canucks are in the midst of the heftiest portion of the Ekman-Larsson buyout. They are paying him $4,766,667 not to be with the team. That cap hit makes him the 10th-highest paid player on the Canucks roster this season. The Canucks are actually paying Ekman-Larsson more than the Leafs are, as his cap hit in Toronto is $3.5 million.

Carl Grundstrom scored the go-ahead goal early in the second period and the Philadelphia Flyers gave coach Rick Tocchet a victory against his former team, beating the Canucks 6-3 in his return to Vancouver.

If irony were a hockey statistic, the Vancouver Canucks would be leading the league. This year, the guy racking up the most points on the Canucks’ books isn’t even in Vancouver.

Vancouver is now one of the league’s worst teams on a true talent basis. The Canucks will close the 2025 calendar year having amassed a 37-39-6 record, good for the 27th spot in the NHL by point percentage over the past 12 months.

Matty Beniers scored the lone shootout goal to end the third and final round as the Seattle Kraken defeated the host Vancouver Canucks 4-3 on Friday.

On Jan. 3, the Vancouver Canucks hosted the Boston Bruins on Hockey Night in Canada for their second matchup of the season. The last time they met, the Canucks walked away with a 5-4 shootout win in Boston.
