Rick Dhaliwal follows Hashtags - the best and worst of Twitter and unpacks his interview with Benning, explaining what he’s hearing about the re-signing of Ian Clark, where the team is at with the Sedin twins joining the front office, and where things are headed with the contract negotiations for Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes. 

The Price is Right takes a look at the distain in Vancouver for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and why it doesn’t transfer to the other Canadian teams in Stanley Cup playoffs. 

Jeff Paterson follows Tell Me I’m Wrong and gives his thoughts on the Benning interview from today. J Pat expands on whether or not he thinks Benning has been given an unfair shake from the fans in Vancouver, what happened with Elias Pettersson this season, and why the Canucks need to play hardball with Alex Edler if the veteran defenceman wants to re-sign in Vancouver.
