Show Notes
With the one last chance to get a NY win on the road trip as the Canucks face the Isles, Matt and Blake have the latest lineup news from the team. Manny Malhotra is changing the assignment for Zeev Buium and the rest of the D, so we listen in on the coach ahead of the game. The guys also debate whether this is the start of a run for Leevi Merilainen in net, and on which of the Elias Petterssons is having a better start to the season! It's another edition of The Crossover, as Donnie and Dhali drop by with their thoughts on the Canucks road trip so far. Dhali talks about whether the Canucks would be expected to make any additions in the coming weeks, particularly if they would reach out to Calgary for Zary. Plus, the guys look for positives as the goals and wins dry up. Then it's Elite Prospects' Cam Robinson on the Canucks' usage of Buium, Willander and D-Petey. Cam also talks about a deep Vancouver prospect that is already showing signs of popping in NCAA hockey, and a couple of hot starts for players coming up in the 2027 draft. Then some soccer talk as the voice of the Whitecaps Asa Rehman joins from the training pitch ahead of a massive game tomorrow in St Louis. The guys look at possible lineup decisions and discuss which version of the recent Whitecaps will show up for this one. Matt and Blake finish up with a look at the BC Lions playoff scenarios, the Seahawks are just being the Seahawks, and Shohei Ohtani is showing signs of human behaviour??

The Canucks finally face a team at .500 or less tonight as they welcome in the Wings, so Matt and Blake take a look at the opportunity for a win to end the 8 game losing skid. The guys look at the changes to the forward lines, another Lankinen start, and a message sent to Öhgren. But they guys also debate whether tonight is a distraction from the big game on the weekend with the return of Quinn Hughes. Plus, is there any chance that Hughes' return can resemble the reception for Brady Tkachuk in Ottawa? Postmedia's Patrick jumps into the fray to discuss the incoming visit from Hughes and the Wild. PJ has his say on the differences between the Hughes and Tkachuk scenarios, and whether there was any avoiding the Hughes departure in the first place. Plus, are the Canucks able to feed off the energy for a victory like the Sens did in Ottawa? PJ finishes with an update on the Whitecaps situation and whether there's any reason for optimism surrounding the club's future. Then it's Steve Lloyd from TSN in Ottawa with a first hand review of the game last night and what led to the massive fan and team response to Tkachuk's return. Steve chronicles the hilarious subtleties that may have been missed in the lead up and during the night itself, and how the team's tortured history helped contribute to the festivities. Matt and Blake finish up with a look at a very interesting BC Lions' official lineup vs the Bombers, the Seahawks' health heading into the weekend is improving, and same for the Whitecaps as they look to finish their road trip from hell in style!

WIth the streak now 8 in a row for the Canucks, Matt and Blake listen in on the coach and players and react to another tough outing for a team that is last in the NHL in win percentage. The guys focus in on C Elias Pettersson, who is back to a point per game this season, but is once again sounding very frustrated with his lot in life. Should the Canucks explore a trade now while his production is back? Also, they look at the deployment of the two promising young forwards in Karlsson and Lekkerimäki, and whether there's more to see from them on a nightly basis. TSN's Frank Corrado stops by to discuss how the dressing room is supposed to deal with so much losing so quickly, and whether there's a fix that's wanted or needed for a rebuilding team. Frank also addresses the subpar play of the "role players" who may not be pulling their weight on the ice, and if the lack of NHL experience on the bench is showing in these losses. Frank finishes up with a preview of the Quinn Hughes return on Sunday and what might be said inside both rooms before the puck drops. The Daily Hive's Rob Williams is back and gives his thoughts on the ceremonies to honour John Garrett last night, plus, he looks at all the losing in Vancouver, and takes a deep dive into the woeful start to the season for Conor Garland in Colombus. Matt and Blake finish up with a peek at Whitecaps training ahead of their match in Denver, the BC Lions seem to be resting a lot of players this weekend, and the tailgate is back at BC Place!
