Game Time Decision

In Game Time Decision's one-hundred and eightieth episode, Ryan Biech and Mike Paris break down the week that was the Vancouver Canucks and the NHL All-Star Game! We take a look at Bo Horvat's experiences at the All-Star game, and wonder why his parent's couldn't get a dang jersey! Speaking of which, why can't we get Tryamakin shirseys?! Or is he really not THAT great, so maybe its not worth it... We take questions from Twitter, discuss the confusing career of Kid Rock, contemplate begging for money... grow... show... AND MORE! This week's Postmark Brewing Beer: ISA and Blonde

In Game Time Decision's one-hundred and seventy-ninth episode, Ryan Biech and Mike Paris discuss all things Vancouver Canucks! After getting depressed about the Canucks shotless period in Arizona, we commemorate Henrik Sedin and his one-thousand NHL points, and ask if he belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Canucks. We take a look at the Baertschi and Granlund trades in hindsight, and maybe take back some thoughts we have had in the past. Then we think about Gudbrandson and the expansion draft, and what those things mean for one another. We also take questions from Twitter, which include sweet guitar solos and our hot hat takes. All this.... AND MORE!!! This week's Postmark Brewing Beer: PSF Lager

In Game Time Decision's one-hundred and seventy-eighth episode, Ryan Biech and Mike Paris break down the last week in the world of the Vancouver Canucks. We fly our helicopter to talk about Skeeter and that controversy. We talk about how the Canucks are getting "friend-zoned" by points, and Sadness Zoned when it comes to their draft position. We bring in the fact that Bo Horvat was honoured with the NHL All-Star Game, but how does that effect his contract negotiations? The trade talks have been heating up with the Colorado Avalanche. Are the Canucks going to make a play to acquire a Big Fish like Landeskog or Duchane? We take questions from Twitter, about everything from Jake Virtanen to Ice Cream preferences. All this... AND MORE! This week's Postmark Brewing Beer: Manderina Wheat Ale

In Game Time Decision's one-hundred and seventy-seventh episode, Ryan Biech and Mike Paris debrief the last few weeks of the Vancouver Canucks and hockey in general. We take a quick look at the successes and losses, for Canada and other teams, within the IIHF World Juniors, before we deep dive into the Vancouver Canucks. Was the 6 game win streak for real, or did the Canucks just take advantage of good circumstance? Was the pick up of Reid Boucher a good thing, or does it just complicate the "Topic Du Jour", which is, of course, what the hell are they doing with Anton Rodin?! Why dress him? Why not play him? Was he not part of the plan... at all?! All this, salt-gate, soup preferences... AND MORE! This week's Postmark Brewing Beer: Their CDA (Cascadian Dark Ale)

In Game Time Decision's one-hundred and seventy-sixth episode, Ryan Biech and Mike Paris once again welcome, host of Hockey Prospect Radio on Sirus XM and the TSN Radio Network, Shane Malloy! Shane joins us to help us better understand what the Vancouver Canucks prospect system has to offer. How good is Brock Boeser? How about Olli Juolevi? Is it enough to build around? What about sleeper picks like William Lockwood and Adam Gaudette? Are the Utica Comets as bad as we think they are? And what kind of player can the Canucks hope for in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. All this... AND MORE! This week's Postmark Brewing Beer: The highly coveted ISA!

In Game Time Decision's one-hundred and seventy-fifth episode, Ryan Biech and Mike Paris welcome, host of Hockey Prospect Radio on Sirius XM/TSN Radio, and scout for the USHL, Shane Malloy! Shane keeps with tradition and gives us all the info you need to know on the 2017 IIHF World Juniors. Shane gives us the details of what Team Canada is going to have to offer, including players such as Jost, Roy, Joseph and Hart. Shane becomes almost speechless (almost) when he wonders what Team USA was thinking when they cut Logan Brown and Alex DeBrincat. Finally, Shane, Ryan and Mike all voice their frustrations around "role players" on a team. Especially on the world stage, should that be a thing of the past? This week's Postmark Brewing Beer: Ella IPA

In Game Time Decision's one-hundred and seventy-fourth episode, Ryan Biech and Mike Paris talk about all things Vancouver Canucks! After Ohlund, who's the next Ring of Honouree? What happened with the defensive collapse in Carolina? What is wrong with the Canucks Powerplay? How numbered are Willie D's days? Who should the Canucks protect from expansion? Then we try to "Make GTDPod Great Again" by lightening things up with some fun by taking some lighthearted questions from Twitter. We compare prospects and current Canucks to Pokemon, and talk about the best and worst that Christmas has to offer for us. This week's Postmark Brewing Beer: Winter Wheat

In Game Time Decision's one-hundred and seventy-third episode, Ryan Biech and Mike Paris talk all thing Vancouver Canucks hockey. Megna and Skille can score?! What's to take from the "Real Good Show"'s reports that Jim Benning skews the stats? Is Benning really not going to approach anyone about waiving their NTCs? Do the Canucks have enough moveable assets to spark a rebuild if they wanted to? Do they want to?! All this, fishing, Pokemon debates... AND MORE! This week's Postmark Brewing Beer: PSF Lager (proceeds going to psf.ca)

In Game Time Decision's one-hundred and seventy-second episode, Ryan Biech and Mike Paris play catch-up on two weeks of Vancouver Canucks hockey talk! We look at "StuffGate" and wonder if Jake Virtanen knows where a mall is, and if he's ever going to dominate in the AHL let alone the NHL. We take a look at the potential of the Bo Horvat contract, and ask if the publicity around it is compromising the negotiations. We question the coaching decisions of Willie D, and if playing Jacob Markstrom more is the right thing to do, and, if not, is signing Ryan Miller to another year or two worth the investment. We try to figure out the defense situation. With people stepping up to the plate with a injured Tanev and Edler, who gets kicked to the curb? Does Larsen do... anything? And of course, a hiatus return wouldn't be anything without questions from Twitter! Thanks to those questions, we revisit regrettable trades, regrettable draft picks, ask if Anton Rodin actually exists, and the appropriateness of various Christm

In Game Time Decision's one-hundred and seventy-first episode, Ryan Biech and Mike Paris discuss all things Vancouver Canucks. Was the one win just a hiccup in their losing streak? Does Willie D hate Jake Virtanen? If people get fired is there anyone good to replace them? Is the fact that the Utica Comets (with or without Jake Virtanen) are also currently terrible as horrible of an omen as it seems? All this, talk about "The Real World", Ryan's first screenplay... and MORE! This week's Postmark Beer: A Postmark Blonde out of our Session Pack.

In Game Time Decision's one-hundred and seventieth episode, Ryan Biech and Mike Paris are here to talk all about the debacle that is present day Vancouver Canucks. We try to compartmentalize the events of the 6-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, the Kadri hit on Daniel Sedin, the saviour that is Ryan Miller, and the subsequent insanity. We ask who is to blame for the 8 game losing streak, and who will end up being the scapegoat if it continues. We wonder what they can do to correct things... is there even an option? Lastly we take questions from Twitter, and a call from former guest Patrick Johnston  (@RisingAction) of Province Sports, and he gives us his thoughts on the events of the evening. Thanks to DailyHive Vancouver and Postmark Brewing for bringing this week's episode.

In Game Time Decision's one-hundred and sixty-eighth episode, Ryan Biech and Mike Paris take you through all things Vancouver Canucks. We talk through the winning streak, and how easy it is to be a fan right now... but we cautiously, and pessimistically, anticipate the seemingly inevitable collapse. We also scoff at the rumours of Ryan Miller being traded, and give the LA Kings wild, unsolicited advise about what they should actually do regarding their goaltending situation. We then take your questions from Twitter. Is Brock Boeser the real deal? Have we had enough of Phillip Larsen? Will we ever see Brandon Sutter's abs?!?!?! All this...and CANDY!
