Jeff Paterson: Liam öhgren and Tom Willander are figuring things out, however, the Canucks PK is not

Don't leave Canucks games early! Matt and Blake are back to discuss another eventful 3rd period for the Canucks vs the Sharks, and all the notable performances from Öhgren to Meriläinen to the top 4 defencemen. The guys also point forward to the Canucks hosting the Leafs on Halloween, plus, Russia is apparently back on the scene in International hockey?? RinkWide Vancouver's Jeff Paterson joins for his end of week recap and to preview the Canucks and Leafs. JPat talks about the development of Willander, Chytil's play of late and possible injury, and the rollercoaster week for the Canucks' penalty kill. Jeff talks about the signs of improvement in the Canucks structure as well, and whether Liam Öhgren is figuring out his offensive game. The Sheet's Jeff Marek stops by with all the tea on the Hughes return, Hellebuyck's likely reception in Winnipeg, and the main culprit of Dylan Larkin's saga in Detroit. He also talks about the likely price of acquisition for the Caps' Miroshnichenko, the market for DeBrusk, and an easter egg brainbuster on Gold Medal/Stanley Cup winners. The guys finish up with a medley on the BC Lions final roster report ahead of the West semi vs the Riders, the Whitecaps prepare for a huge crowd this week and the sprint season in the spring, and the playoffs begin for the Vancouver Rise this weekend at Swangard!

Two in a row?? The Canucks are in San Jose looking to go back to back, so Matt and Blake have you covered with the expected lineup and changes from last time out. Does the continued absence of Schenn and Gallagher mean the veterans were the wrong choices in the offseason? The guys also debate whether we might ever see Celebrini and/or Bedard in a Canucks jersey someday. They also take a look ahead to this weekend's enemy fan invasion as the Leafs, Riders and Sounders all come to town with their loyal fans in tow. Then it's former Canuck Frank Corrado from TSN with his take on the Hughes reception this past weekend and how it might even get bigger in his next visit given the status of contract negotiations in Minnesota. He tackles Dylan Larkin's next steps in the showdown in Hockeytown as well, including Matt's illuminati-like theory of the USA stars conspiring together. Frank also gives us his impressions of Jonathan Lekkerimäki's start to the season and where the ceiling could be for the young Canuck. Matt and Blake finish up with a recap of the Whitecaps big win at home over San Diego, the BC Lions still aren't getting much healthier, and the Brewers have won the World Series in front of home fans in Tampa?!

It was a win for the ages! Ok, maybe not, but it was a pretty fun night of Canucks hockey! Matt and Blake break down the unlikely night that was in Anaheim and what it might do for the Canucks lowly spirits of late. They look at a possible breakthrough performance from Jonathan Lekkerimäki, the Elias Pettersson train keeps chugging along, and the young defencemen are finding their games too.. The guys listen in on the Canucks post game comments and look ahead to the rest of the week vs San Jose and Toronto. Patrick Johnston of Postmedia stops by to give us his thoughts on the win and what it might tell us about the young sniper in Lekkerimäki. PJ looks at the similarities of the Canucks wins and takes on whether shot totals can go up more regularly for the team that is last in the NHL in that category. Then it's The Daily Hive's Rob Williams, who predicted the Canucks win, with his thoughts on Lekk's future star status with the fanbase and whether any other young players can help save the narrative this season. The guys also look back at the reception for Quinn Hughes and wonder what will change when he's back in a couple of weeks. Matt and Blake finish up with a preview of the Whitecaps match tonight, the BC Lions are battling injuries ahead of the West semi, and the Seahawks' rival just made a big trade too!
