The Phil Kessel Curse & Stamkos to Vancouver? | Locked On Canucks

The revenge tour for Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson is in full swing. And while the offence hasn't fully returned, he's impacting the game in other ways. Beggsy and Bhawan discuss the evolution of Elias Pettersson, digging into some of the numbers behind the superstar centre and how they compare to other two-way studs like Pavel Datsyuk and Patrice Bergeron. The boys also discuss Sherwood's record-breaking pace, worst Halloween candies, and fantasies on Locked On Canucks. Join Kyle's Discord:  https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=... Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

Quinn Hughes might be the smartest man on the planet. When he gassed up the Kiefer Sherwood signing back on July 1, 2024, he might have been the only guy who saw this coming. EVERYONE is missing from the Vancouver Canucks roster, but the Canucks still found a way to win thanks to their 10th-highest-paid forward. Beggsy breaks down some insane stats about Sherwood's brilliance, why the Canucks made the right lineup call in this game despite some heat, and other depth performances that led the Canucks to this improbable victory. Join Kyle's Discord: https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=... Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

Are the Canucks Cursed? Injuries, Missed Moves & Kessel’s Ghost Another season, another wave of injuries for the Canucks. More key players sidelined, more depth compromised, and more frustration for fans who feel like this team can’t catch a break. On top of that, the team’s decision to walk away from Phil Kessel in 2024 — when many believed he could’ve added a veteran boost — is now being retold as part of the weird “curse” narrative around Vancouver. Anyways, get well soon Garland, Hughes, Lekkerimaki, Chytil and everyone else. Join Kyle's Discord:  https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=... Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

It was Patrik Allvin's big, splashy offseason addition. 17 years in the NHL. The local kid coming home. All for the low cost of a fourth-round pick. The issue? Evander Kane has been brutal. Beggsy breaks down the first 11 games of the Evander Kane experience in Vancouver, how it's gone so wrong, and what other moves the Canucks could have made in the offseason. He also gets into the new and notes surrounding the team, while shouting out a Cam Neely Former Canuck of the Week. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.

The mid-Vancouver Canucks played a mid-New York Rangers game, and both teams put on a decisively mid-ass show at Rogers Arena. Yeah, the Canucks can't score and lost, but the biggest loss was the fact that Conor Garland left this game due to injury. Beggsy dives into that, how Pettersson fared against Miller, and more on Reichel's crazy first three games as a Canuck. He also breaks down Tom Willander's debut and gives a grade for each Canuck player's performance. Join Kyle's Discord:  https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=... Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

The Canucks' search for a true second-line centre has heated up. According to recent reports: • Vancouver is "maybe exploring trade talks for Nazem Kadri of the Calgary Flames. • They've also emerged as a top suitor for Pavel Zacha of the Boston Bruins. In today's episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down: • Why Vancouver is so desperate for centre help, particularly with injuries and inconsistent production at the position. • What Kadri and Zacha offer: size, experience, face-off strength, scoring, and versatility. • The cost & risk of each move: contracts, fit, cap implications, and whether they truly upgrade Vancouver's ceiling or just raise the floor. • What this says about the Canucks' mindset — are they in win-now mode, or are they doubling down Join Kyle's Discord:  https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=... Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

Who Steps Up First? Pettersson or Miller Before Tomorrow’s Big Game Tomorrow night in Vancouver, the spotlight will shine on two stars facing very different challenges — Elias Pettersson for the Vancouver Canucks and J.T. Miller for the New York Rangers. In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down who will be the first to rescue their team and why the urgency is so real for both. 🔍 The Stakes for Each PlayerElias Pettersson, once at 39 goals and 102 points, is seeking to regain his elite form after a down year. J.T. Miller, with a long track record of production (including a 99-point season), is entering a new chapter and still has something to prove.Wikipedia For Vancouver, the question is: can Pettersson deliver now and lift the team’s ceiling? For New York, Miller’s role is critical: can he stabilize their attack and justify the confidence placed in him? 🎯 What to Watch Tomorrow Early game momentum: Who gets on the board first — will Pettersson break out early or will Miller make a swift impact? Leadership under pressure: These players aren’t just scoring; they’re the faces of their teams’ futures. Matchup impact: How each player handles top-opposition matchups, special teams, and high-leverage minutes. Narrative vs. reality: Pettersson’s redemption arc vs. Miller’s run-up to proving he’s still elite. Bottom Line: One of these players will save their team first. A big game tomorrow will give us clues about who that will be — and if you’re a fan of the Canucks, you’re hoping that player is Pettersson.  Join Kyle's Discord:  https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=... Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

The Canucks edged out the Oilers 4-3 in overtime, snapping a three-game losing streak. Kiefer Sherwood scored two goals, including the OT winner at 1:42 of overtime. Brock Boeser had a goal and two assists, and Elias Pettersson also notched a goal for Vancouver. Goalie Thatcher Demko made 26 saves, holding the line as Edmonton mounted a comeback. For the Oilers, Leon Draisaitl scored twice, and Jack Roslovic added a goal and an assist in defeat. 🔍 Key Takeaways Vancouver’s ability to close this tough battle in OT shows resilience—especially after trailing and facing pressure late. Sherwood’s two-goal effort was a breakout moment: stepping up when the team needed someone to deliver. Demko’s performance remains a cornerstone component—having the top goalie executing gives this team a boost. While Pettersson scored, the bigger story may be how the supporting cast (Sherwood, Boeser) delivered. The Oilers showed character in rallying from behind, but Vancouver held on—handling moments of pressure will matter deep into the season. 🎯 What This Means Going Forward For the Canucks: this win could be a turning point—momentum matters. Getting wins in tight games builds belief. For depth and lineup roles: players like Sherwood earn trust and could change their standing in the rotation. For the Oilers: even with high talent, games like these slip away—meaning depth and late-game execution remain questions. The Canucks may lean into the formula of balanced scoring, strong goaltending, and execution in tight spots—rather than just star-driven bursts. Join Kyle's Discord:  https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=... Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

The Canadiens erased an early two-goal deficit to defeat the Canucks 4–3 at Rogers Arena. Ivan Demidov led Montreal with a goal and two assists. Nick Suzuki extended his point streak to nine games with a power-play goal. For Vancouver, Elias Pettersson recorded a goal and two assists, while Conor Garland added a goal + assist. Montreal’s comeback really took off in the third period, with goals from Juraj Slafkovsky, Mike Matheson and Demidov sealing the win. 🔍 Key Takeaways Vancouver jumped out to a strong start (2-0 lead) but couldn’t sustain it. The Canadiens methodically turned the tide in the final period. Defensively, the Canucks had moments of success but allowed Montreal to dictate the pace late—especially with special teams being decisive. Offensively, though Pettersson and Garland produced, Vancouver lacked consistency across lines when the pressure mounted. 🎯 What This Means For Vancouver The Canucks have now lost three straight games. They can’t afford to drop momentum so early. They need to dig into what allowed the third-period collapse—whether it’s shift management, defensive communication, or fatigue. They showed flashes of structure and skill, but continuity and closing ability are still lacking. Pettersson’s multi-point night is a positive sign, but he—and the team—must build on it, not rest on it. Join Kyle's Discord: https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=... Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is brought to you by Gametime.
