TGIF (thank goodness it’s Frank Day). After their own breakdown of the Nikita Zadorov trade and the loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, Matt and Blake are joined by Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli. Frank reveals how the trade went down with Calgary, and what the Canucks blueline might look like going forward, with or without Ethan Bear. Plus, the very latest on the Corey Perry situation.

Dan Milstein also stops by, and the agent for Zadorov, Ilya Mikeheyev and Andrei Kuzmenko shares his view on the trade, and what might lie ahead for the newest Canuck. 

All this, plus a word or two from you the listener, as Friday brings us another edition of 'To the People We Go.' Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

Emergency podcast alert! The Canucks have acquired Nikita Zadorov from the Calgary Flames! Rink Wide: Vancouver host Jeff Paterson joins Matt and Blake to discuss the trade. A full episode of S&P commences after that, as we had finished Thursday's regular podcast.

PJ tells us about Adam Foote's growth as a coach, tells us about the Canucks' cap situation after the Beauvillier trade, opines on whether they should sign Ethan Bear, and comments on Brock Boeser's season and whether he's back in the Canucks' core.

Rob Williams stops by with bad news for Matt and Blake about their invites (ahem) to the Daily Hive XMas party. Rob talks about the vibe at Rogers Arena, Thatcher Demko thanking the fans for "sticking with them" over the last few years, whether Tocchet tipped the team's hand on how they'll spend the Anthony Beauvillier cap space, and this year's First Nation's logo. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

A newsy game day for the Canucks as Andrei Kuzmenko gets scratched for the Kraken. Matt and Blake debate that decision by the coach, and what the changed lines will do for the Canucks as they try to avoid 4 straight losses to Seattle. 

Kevin Woodley from InGoal Magazine stops by to give his take on the first 20 games, and whether the defence can continue to make life reasonable for the Canucks goalies, especially with the injuries.

Matt and Blake discuss the Canucks losing 5-2 in Colorado, the sluggish play of Elias Pettersson and Andrei Kuzmenko, the bottom-6 stepping up, injuries on defence, the return of that big-game feel, Ray Ferraro on the colour, whether it's time to shuffle-up line combinations, a spicy encounter for Brock Boeser, a look-ahead to Friday's game in Seattle and letter grades for the first quarter of the season.

Jeff Paterson, the host of Rink Wide: Vancouver, gives us his recap of the loss in Denver, opines that Phil Di Giuseppe might have run his course as a 2nd-liner, expresses concern about Elias Pettersson's game ATM, forecasts Nils Höglander's future in the lineup, jokes about Brock Boeser (of all people) getting booed by Avs fans, worries about the health of the defence corps and drops his letter grade for the Canucks 1/4 way through the season.

Matt and Blake discuss Quinn Hughes facing Cale Makar and how both teams are great examples of the modern defence pair. They look at the accolades flowing in for Hughes, from TSN to RDS to statistical comparisons to Bobby Orr. Prince Harry's surprise appearance at Rogers Arena and what that has done for the Invictus Games. Plus Canada's collapse against Jamaica in international soccer.

Frank Corrado joins to compare/contrast Hughes & Makar. Frank comments on whether a defenceman could win the Hart or Art Ross in today's day and age, on how his ex-teammate Sidney Crosby would get up for showdown games against top players or teams, on how Ethan Bear would help Vancouver's defence, and on prospect Hunter Brzustewicz, who is lighting up the OHL.

Wyatt Arndt, The Stanchion, from our partners over at Canucks Army, joins with his particular brand of analysis and humour. From royals at Rogers Arena to inside the squared circle, Wyatt runs a gamut of topics including Tyler Myers' recent form, Nils Höglander, Phil Di Giuseppe and trophies.

Matt and Blake talk about the Canucks' 3-1 win over San Jose, whether Quinn Hughes can top Cale Makar as the league's top defenceman, learning to win low-scoring games and the royals on hand at Rogers Arena. The guys also go over the Tim Peel-Mark Spector feud, and the Grey Cup audience, as well as the Monday Night Football showdown.

John Shannon stops by to discuss Hughes' genius and Rick Tocchet's work behind the Canucks bench. John tells us why the NHL is going dark two nights this week, why the Stockholm games weren't nationally televised, the Pacific Division strength, the future of East Van's Milan Lucic, and how close the Blue Jackets are to packing it in for this season and trading defencemen.

Matt and Blake discuss the week ahead for the Canucks (how many points do they need out of 8 available), Saturday's loss vs. Seattle, improvements in even-strength scoring and the penalty kill, whether they should sign Ethan Bear or trade for a defenceman, Chris Tanev's comments last week about not re-signing in Vancouver, and whether there's a mini-window that will get Canucks management moving aggressively.

They guys also discuss the 110th Grey Cup, it's exciting finish, the local hero Tyson Philpot catching the game-winning touchdown, the Bombers blowing it again, Marc-Antoine Dequoy's rant, the Als' band of misfit toys and...uh...MVP Cody Fajardo, which brought a mea culpa from Matt.

Jeff Paterson, the host of the Rink Wide: Vancouver podcast, joins to discuss Andrei Kuzmenko and guys who have to pick it up, both on his line and with its pace, and other in the lineup (Sam Lafferty, Anthony Beauvillier), the loss to Seattle to Saturday, Sunday's practice, how many points they need this week and whether Bear makes more sense than a trade for the defence.
