Matt and Blake discuss the Canucks' first (?) bout of adversity this season following a 10-7 loss in Minnesota, all the crazy stats in that game, how they'll respond in Colorado, the challenge the Avs pose, the club's record against the best teams (and Elias Pettersson's performance in those games). They hear from Rick Tocchet on penalties and discipline being an issue, look forward to Arshdeep Bains' NHL debut and the great local story that he is. They talk about the Canucks lack of rookies and how poor Bains might be on the hook for an expensive dinner, the performance of Casey DeSmith and how much he can be trusted going forward, plus trade deadline chatter around Chris Tanev and Noah Hanifin.

Rink Wide: Vancouver host Jeff Paterson joins to discuss the 10-7 loss in Minnesota, the Canucks' lack of composure, Rick Tocchet's in-game management and comments thereafter., Jeff talks about the Arshdeep Bains story in advance of his NHL debut, the club's goaltending predicament with Casey DeSmith struggling, Nathan MacKinnon's MVP campaign, and whether the Canucks compete for the Hart (no) and Norris (yes) trophies.

John Shannon stops by and talks about the Canucks facing adversity after the 10-7 loss in Minnesota. He discusses the Canucks vs the best teams in the league, whether needs have been exposed, points forward to the playoffs and hostile environments, the loss of Dakota Joshua, and what the Vegas Golden Knights might have planned for the trade deadline.

Matt and Blake discuss a 4-1 win against Detroit, a two-goal game for Elias Lindholm and his Canucks future as a centre, according to head coach Rick Tocchet. They talk about how much fun it is watching the Canucks these days (most fun ever?) and the team's growing lead atop the NHL standings. They talk Nikita Zadorov's honour and honesty, his fun doing the Griddy dance back at Jake Walman, Thatcher Demko's brilliance and attempt at goal, Nils Höglander moving on up to PP2, and where Phil Kessel fits when (if?) he's signed.

Frank Seravalli explains the Canucks' plans for Phil Kessel and how, if he works out, the team might be done adding forwards and will focus attention on defence. He tells us what others around the NHL are saying about the league-leading Canucks, extols the virtues of Tocchet and says he'll be a magnet for free agents, and goes through the Pittsburgh Penguins' conundrum including an injury to deadline target Jake Guentzel and Sidney Crosby's future.

Jeff Paterson, the host of Rink Wide: Vancouver, talks about the win over the Red Wings, the goaltender showdown Saturday against the Jets, the plight of Ilya Mikheyev, the plans for Kessel, Brock Boeser's slump, and how the penalty-killing is now...wait for it...good!

Plus, we go To The People and hear from listeners on Canucks topics. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

Matt and Blake discuss Dakota Joshua's injury and whether it was worth fighting in Chicago just as he and that line were peaking. Ilya Mikheyev is the beneficiary of Joshua missing Thursday's home game, can he exit his 22-game slump and does he have to show something, or risk being traded, before the March 8 deadline? The guys talk about Phil Kessel's fitness level and fit, whether the Canucks should risk losing a player on waivers to add him to the NHL roster, and about retribution/vengeance with the Wings after the Nikita Zadorov hit on Lucas Raymond and Jake Walman's *Griddy* celebration.

Patrick Johnston joins and talks about his article with Jim Rutherford and the Canucks seeking depth. Patrick talks about Kessel's future with the Canucks, that fantastic third line and Joshua, the pursuit of Chris Tanev, Jake Guentzel getting injured, and bad blood with the Wings.

Rob Williams tells us why Costco was trending in Vancouver upon the Kessel news, compares Kessel to the Mats Sundin signing of 2009, wonders who he would play, and explains how he got an exclusive interview with Mark Messier, who says he was brought to captain a Canucks' (ahem) "rebuild."

Matt and Blake talk about the Canucks win in Carolina and the smashing debut of Elias Lindholm on what was a great night of hockey. A terrific game in Raleigh where Lindholm led the way, Quinn Hughes and Thatcher Demko shone, and an even better game in Vegas where the Oilers' 16-game winning streak comes to an end. So, who should scare the Canucks the most in the playoffs (if anybody)? We hear from Lindholm after his two-goal night, track Andrei Kuzmenko's debut for the Flames, point forward to Thursday's game in Boston, look at a new trade deadline candidate and Cale Makar's odd comments about the 2018 WJC scandal.

John Shannon joins and says bring on playoff hockey. He's seeing the roots of it already. John talks about a potential buyer's market at the deadline, Lindholm's debut, peaking at the right time, the future of the Arizona Coyotes and some big media companies getting together to bundle their streaming sports rights.

Rob Williams stops by with thoughts on Lindholm, Rick Tocchet is worried about too much positivity from the media, oddsmakers still dissing the Canucks, and a former 2011 Bruin saying he'd like to see the Canucks win the Cup. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.
