Is this officially the rock bottom for the Vancouver Canucks?
On Episode 144 of the Hughes Sports Podcast, Jake and the Old Man are losing their minds over a team that has tied franchise records for the worst home start in history. We’re breaking down the “vortex of ineptitude” that has the Canucks sitting 32nd in the NHL over the last calendar year.
On the table today:
📉 Canucks Disaster: With only 4 wins in their first 17 home games, is this genuinely the worst Canucks roster ever assembled?
🏈 CFL Winter Meetings: Live from Calgary! We discuss the major talk of play-in games, playoff format changes, and the new automatic 35-second play clock for 2026.
💎 Ethan Belchetz Deep Dive: If the Canucks are tanking, they need to know about this kid. We scout the 6’5”, 227lb “wrecking ball” from the Windsor Spitfires who is dominating the OHL and rising toward the top 5 of the 2026 NHL Draft.
👴 The Old Man’s Verdict: Why the “Hybrid Retool” has failed and what a real rebuild actually looks like.
