CKSTAM

Last show of the week, and Matt rehashes an old rant. 

The Welcome Matt puts a bullseye on the back of the Vegas Golden Knights, who find themselves once again in a Stanley Cup semi-final. Matt is back on his ABV mantra, anyone But Vegas! 

Shane Hnidy from the Golden Knights broadcast team joins next  and tells us how VGK were able to bring themselves back to the semi-final.

Our Friday Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal follows and says that Travis Green raved about Alex Edler on Donnie & Dhali today, gives praise to the Canucks shoring up their coaching staff earlier this week, updates on what’s happening with the Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes contracts, who will be running/coaching in Abbotsford, and whether or not Emil Pettersson is going to head to the NHL next season.

The Price is Right takes a look at the top teams around the NHL and how those still standing, with the exception of Tampa, don’t have a truly “elite” player on the roster.

Jeff Paterson follows Hashtags - the best and worst of Twitter, and explains how he respects what the Golden Knights have done in such a short span of time, why he feels Alex Edler will be back with the Canucks next year, and whether or not the Canucks should bring back Trent Cull to coach the AHL team in Abbotsford. 

Andrew tries to get a sizzler on Hot Take. We wrap the show with all the Errors & Omissions.

Big show, with a big guest list!

The Welcome Matt looks at the Canucks additions to the coaching staff and how after a season that had its challenges, the pressure is still on Travis Green to turn the team around.

Canucks goaltending coach Ian Clark follows and explains how excited he is to be back working with the organization and with Thatcher Demko who he has been working with since the young goalie joined the franchise, how he feels about being a fan favourite in the market, his philosophy on teaching the position, Michael DiPietro’s progression, where Arthurs Silovs’ game is at, and if he feels the Canucks need to draft another goaltender.

Thomas Drance follows Hashtags - the best and worst of Twitter and gives his insight on how important it was for the Canucks to lock up Clark, how the Canucks want to get Pettersson and Hughes’ contracts done before they do any other business, and that despite it rarely happening, there is always a chance that a team could offer sheet Pettersson this offseason. 

The Price is Right looks at a trend around the NHL, as teams that have had success have had to make hard decisions along the way, at times having to move on from superstar players to achieve success.

Our good friend Kristian Jack joins next and explains his new role with the Canadian Premier League, how important it is for Canada’s national men’s team to qualify for the 2022 World Cup, who he sees as the favourites at Euro 2020, and who could be the country the fans fall in love with at the tourney. 

Jeff Paterson joins for his daily hit and gives his thoughts on Ian Clark interview, praises the coaching staff additions the Canucks have made, and how Jim Benning should handle free agency this offseason. 

Take 5 revolves around a debate on who will get nominated for a major NHL award first. Quinn Hughes for a Norris? Or Thatcher Demko for a Vezina?

Craig Button follows Hashtags - the best and worst of Twitter and gives his insight on the Canucks adding Brad Shaw to the coaching staff, extending goaltending coach Ian Clark, and what he knows about new assistant Kyle Gustafson. 

The Price is Right wonders if Brad Shaw could be the key to unlocking Quinn Hughes’ elite potential. 

Jeff Paterson follows Tell Me I’m Wrong and begins by stating how big getting Ian Clark re-signed is to the team, and how Brad Shaw’s different approach to the team is something that intrigued Travis Green.

Tony Marinaro from TSN 690 in Montreal follows and explains how the Habs have come together over a season that was full of ups and downs, what Toffoli has meant to the Habs, and how important Phil Danault has been as a shutdown centre.

Our Tuesday Canucks insider Harman Dayal follows Hashtags - the best and worst of Twitter, and tells us how far away the Canucks are from being a legit playoff contender.
