Bush League Canucks Fancast - Cnuckleheads Present

The Cnuckleheads are finally back and now it's unfiltered. After ending their syndication with CIVL Radio, the Bush League Boys take the gloves off with a no-holds-barred episode of Bush League, and this one’s packed tighter than a beer line at Rogers Arena.  They break down everything from the 4 Nations Cup and what it means for international hockey to the latest on the Abbotsford Canucks, including what to expect for the rest of the season. Of course, they’ve got plenty to say about the Vancouver club—the highs, the lows, and whether this squad is actually built for a deep playoff run. The trade mill is churning, and they’re diving into the latest roster moves, potential deals, and which rumors have them sweating. Meanwhile, The Bear drops a hot take on why we might be witnessing a new era of hockey, sparking a debate about whether Canada is still the top dog in youth hockey or if the U.S. is stealing our lunch money. They also touch on the World Junior Championships and more, bringing their usual blend of hot takes, rumour-mill reporting, and now pure, UNFILTERED Canucks fandom. Crack a cold one, put your feet up, and let’s get into it.
 

In this episode the Bush League boys change up the format a bit to talk a lot more about Abbotsford.  What’s working and what’s not on the farm team and an interesting apologies segment at the top of the broadcast you won’t wanna miss. 

In this episode we discuss a number of topics, ranging from the recent contract extensions of Patrick Alvin and Jim Rutherford to the Canucks' trades and plans. We delve into the All-Star game, reminiscing on the old East vs West days, and sharing our mixed feelings about the new format. Apart from that, we assess the Kuzmenko trade, take note of Vancouver’s current six-point lead in the President’s Trophy race over Dallas, Florida, Boston, and New York, and discuss the Abbotsford Canucks and their less than stellar start to 2024. With a comprehensive analysis of individual team members’ performances, Klimovich's potential, highlighting the physical presence he brings to the team that bodes well for future games.
