Matt and Blake discuss a desultory 4-1 loss to Philly, Casey DeSmith getting the start instead of Thatcher Demko, Nikita Zadorov's stinker, and the lack of a top-6 winger to play with Elias Pettersson. They debate whether a top-4 right-handed defenceman is a bigger need than that winger, the club's record in December and a looming 7-game road trip in January. They also talk about the Broncos cutting bait with Russell Wilson, the rise of Joe Flacco in Cleveland and the NFL playoff picture. As well as a Welcome Matt on the Winter Classic, and how it should have included the Canucks.

Matt and Blake discuss another healthy-scratch for Andrei Kuzmenko and the path forward. They look at where Canucks stand for NHL awards such as Vezina, Norris, Adams and even the Hart Trophy. They discuss trade targets on the wing and on defence. And they look at what the Seahawks have left on the schedule and the path to the NFL playoffs.

Frank Corrado stops by with his take on how the Canucks should handle Kuzmenko going forward. He talks about the Canucks vying for first place and what amassing such a good record to date means for the rest of the regular season. He says Nikita Zadorov is not redundant with Carson Soucy and the Canucks shouldn't be deterred in extending his contract. He says brighter days are ahead for Conor Garland given the underlying numbers, opines on what a great fit Jake Guentzel would be if the Canucks want to swing a big trade, and reads between the lines on Devon Toews' comments about his teammates not showing up.

Rob Williams breaks down the Canucks' media skate, including JPat's game. Rob talks about the Kuzmenko end game (drawing a Brock Boeser comparison), Rick Tocchet's comments about their defensive posture and on Lionel Messi coming to BC Place in 2024. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.
