Paul Chapman is joined by Ed Willes to talk about the progress made by the Vancouver Canucks this season. After a game in which they physically answered the bell after an opponent had injured a teammate, they talk about the maturation of the young Canucks team and how they are learned to stand up for each other.
 There’s also talk of the chemistry between Brock Boeser and Elias Pettersson and of the blueline, what do the Canucks need to go with last year’s number one pick Quinn Hughes to take the next stage of development as a team that can compete in the playoffs.
 Ed also assesses the job GM Jim Benning has done, and he talks about the city of Seattle as a hockey market as he prepares for a visit to Washington State this weekend to get the puck potential in the Emerald City.
