Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee start the national hour on the scorching Canucks, whose torrid stretch continued with a shutout win over the Stars on Saturday. They are joined by Canucks analyst Dan Murphy (3:14), who shares his thoughts on the great vibes in Vancouver, the instant impact of their offseason additions, why Filip Hronek is the perfect pair for Quinn Hughes and what separates Rick Tocchet as a difference-making head coach. Afterward, a conversation about a Canadian team on the opposite end of the spectrum with the Oilers in a deep hole, and if it's unfair to place all the blame on coach Jay Woodcroft. Finally, news and notes from around the league, including Brady Tkachuk calling out the fans in Ottawa, a disasterclass from the Sharks and Fred Anderson being shelved long term for the Hurricanes.
