It’s another game day and the boys have a jam packed show!

The Welcome Matt asks the audience what section of Canucks fan do you align yourself with?

Hashtags - the best and worst of Twitter follows.

Our Thursday Canucks insider Thomas Drance joins next and kicks off the interview with some praise for how the Canucks bounced back from their battle with COVID in beating the Maple Leafs back to back earlier in the week. Drance warns that the hard part lays ahead for the Canucks as the schedule gets tougher, and gives his thoughts on the fan driven “Fire Benning” banner that was flown over the city yesterday.

Tell Me I’m Wrong and clips from the Canucks morning skate follow Drance.

Jeff Paterson comes into the blanket fort for his daily hit and understands that some fans might be licking their chops with the basement dwelling Senators in town, but reminds the fanbase that the Sens are a much different looking team since last time the Canucks faced them. J Pat’s Do Something candidate is Thatcher Demko. 

Another edition of Take 5 follows J Pat, where the boys debate Travis Green’s call to start Demko after Braden Holtby’s stellar performance versus Toronto.

The show wraps with all the Errors and Omissions.

The show kicks off with some big news. The boys are currently the top rated hockey podcast in Japan!

The Welcome Matt takes a look at Travis Green and just what is holding back the Canucks from re-signing the lame duck head coach.

Hashtags - the best and worst of Twitter follows Mendes.

Our Wednesday NHL insider Craig Button joins next and he comes out swinging, stating that he’ll fight anyone that doesn’t think that Bo Horvat will be on the Canadian Olympic team. Button also suggests that the Canucks moving their AHL farm team from Utica to the west coast makes more sense in California than it does in the Lower Mainland. 

The Price is Right explains that despite a couple of heroic performances against the Leafs, the reality is the hill to climb for the Canucks to make the playoffs is still incredibly steep.

Tell Me I’m Wrong and clips from the Canucks follows PIR.

Jeff Paterson joins for his daily hit and wonders if Green might be the one that’s holding up a contract extension. J Pat feels that the Canucks should ride a hot Braden Holtby and give Thatcher Demko some time to get back to the crease, and also explains why Tyler Myers will likely not be exposed in the expansion draft. 

The show concludes with Hot Takes on a Wednesday and all the Errors and Omissions.

Back in the blanket fort at the Sheraton Wall Centre and it’s the first show on a Canucks game night!

Goaltending is the topic du jour and the focus of the Welcome Matt, where Matt dives into the options the Canucks have with their goaltenders. 

Kevin Woodley from InGoal Magazine and NHL.com joins to talk more about the goaltending, suggesting Braden Holtby’s underlying data was showing that his performance this season hasn’t been as bad as some might have thought. 

Hashtags follows Woodley, where Blake puts the NHL in the cross hairs after the league released a tone deaf response to the guilty verdict of former police officer Derek Chauvin who murdered George Floyd sparking civil unrest around the world this past summer.

Tuesday Canucks insider Harman Dayal joins next and breaks down just how difficult it could be for Jim Benning to move Holtby in the offseason, suggesting that it’s not worth giving up significant picks or contracts to shed Holtby’s salary. 

The Price is Right takes a look at the North Division and the oddities of how the division has played out so far this season. 

Jeff Paterson joins for the first time on an actual Canucks game night and wonders who is going to step up and contribute with some goals outside of the usual suspects in Bo Horvat and Brock Boeser. J Pat also warns that despite an incredible performance from Holtby in the win on Sunday versus the Maple Leafs, the Canucks can’t hang their goaltender out to dry in tonight’s rematch. 

Hot Take Tuesday follows J Pat, where Matt gets salty after a luke warm take.

The show ends as it always does with all the Errors and Omissions.

Soccer insider Kristian Jack joins next to give his prognosis on the Whitecaps season. KJ also breaks down the new Super League that’s been formed in European football, and just what it means for the domestic leagues. 

Our new Monday NHL insider John Shannon follows KJ and starts by giving kudos to the Canucks effort in beating the Maple Leafs.

The last show of the week and what a gorgeous weekend lays ahead!

The Welcome Matt takes a look at just who will be in the lineup for the Canucks when they get back to the ice, wondering if Elias Pettersson might be close to returning.

Whitecaps FC game analyst Colin Miller makes his debut on the new show and gives a preview of the ‘Caps season and who he expects to be in the lineup for the opening match this Sunday.

Price is Right takes aim at Canucks management and ownership whose handling of the COVID outbreak within the team has led many media members to question whether the organization is behind its players or more concerned about the bottom line. 

Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal follows for his weekly hit and begins by wondering out loud just what exactly is going on within the Canucks organization, as the media has been left out of team practices. Dhaliwal tells us how Quinn Hughes had the toughest time dealing with COVID than any of his teammates, and that Canucks management and ownership need to bare some of the blame for how they’ve handled the COVID outbreak that ravaged the team. 

Tell Me I’m Wrong and Hashtags follow Ricky.
