TCC#10 - Hanging out at the Shark Club in downtown Vancouver
Ten episodes into the podcast, all of the members join up after the game against Edmonton for drinks and yakking about the Canucks. This was our first opportunity to have everyone meet face to face, and we had a microphone to record a little discussion. Some of us had been there a little while longer than the rest, and our blood alcohol level might have shown it.
Record as of this episode: 13-14-1 (3rd in the Northwest Division)
The Shark Club made for a very interesting atmosphere for trying to watch a unimpressive game, especially on a Monday night where the NFL takes precedence at one of the closest drinking establishments to GM Place. J.J. was still a little wiped out after returning from a vacation to Las Vegas and shares some experiences with catching a couple games in sin city. Dave brings up an interesting point about “we are all Canucks,” and Alanah had a backstage pass to the game that offers up a lot of great insights to the game against the Oilers. Rebecca brings up some good points about our lack of puck luck, and John starts to wonder about a conspiracy to our lack of scoring, but that could be the beer talking.
We realize that this isn’t like our regular episodes with a recap of all the games since the last one, but we’ll get back on track with our next episode. Leave your feedback in the meantime, and we hope you enjoy this “live remote” version of the podcast. It’s almost like you’re right there with us!

John sent us all a injury update - damn.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Canucks forward Taylor Pyatt will
be out two to four weeks with a shoulder injury and defenseman Sami
Salo could miss seven to 10 days with a nerve injury in his
shoulder. Fourth-line forward Rick Rypien will also miss six to
eight weeks with a partially torn groin muscle. All three players
were hurt in Monday night’s 4-0 loss to Edmonton.
Thanks guys! You’re doing such a good job! Hockey’s like an eighth tier sport here in Australia. If I’m lucky, and they don’t cancel it, I tend to get two FSN broadcasts a week, so its always the damn Coyotes!
Keep it up, ladies and gents. I need you guys!!
So now Yannick is our new D plan. Hmmmm.
Thanks for your nice words, Jazz. Although I’m very concerned for your future as a hockey fan — only seeing Coyotes games could damage your faith in the game.
Beautiful…ALL of you had too many beers, but you ALL showed up.
Progress
In my defense, I was just coming back from a weekend in Vegas; I HAD TO keep drinking else I pass out.
Just as aside…this was probably one of the best podcasts you all have had.
Firstly, the live atmosphere of the club added to the discussion, I believe. Instapundit, Glenn Reynolds does many of his podcasts from a BBQ joint and the conversation is lively when he does.
Second…beer is good. All of you were much more open to voicing opinions. Instead of Rebecca meekly saying, ‘Go Canucks’ in the background…she was front and center…’Let’s talk about Jan!’ It loosened ya all up…it was fun.
Good stuff…keep it rollin’.
