Breaking down episode 12 of Vancouver Canucks podcast Hockey, Actually.
Hockey, Actually is a hockey podcast covering all things related to Vancouver’s hockey scene. From the Vancouver Canucks, to PWHL Vancouver, to the Abbotsford Canucks, co-hosts and The Hockey News reporters Izzy Cheung and Nicolleta Panos have you covered!
Episode 12 revolves mostly around injuries, injuries, and more injuries. The Canucks currently have eight players out due to injury, and as a result, the Abbotsford Canucks have also had to fill in holes on their roster. Izzy and Nicolleta also discuss Vancouver’s trade for Lukas Reichel and what the young forward has brought to the lineup since joining the team after his hectic travel day. Finally, they wrap with a recap of PWHL Vancouver’s trio of draft-pick signings — two years for Nina Jobst-Smith, and one year each for Brianna Brooks and Madison Samoskevich.
