A special Good Friday edition of S&P Presents: Vancouver Media Legends. The guys bring back the media legends theme that generated so much awesome feedback in February with former voice of the Vancouver Canucks and Hockey Night in Canada Jim Hughson and sports-talk pioneer Dan Russell. Hughson, now chairman of the BC Hockey Hall of Fame, reminisces about his time calling Canucks games, working alongside John "Cheech" Garrett and looks forward to the Young Stars tournament in Penticton, his new home. Russell relives his 30-year career on Vancouver radio including the battles with Brian Burke, his bids to do play-by-play, and the changing shape and sound of the sports media industry.

Matt and Blake welcome Darren Dreger and Jeff Paterson as guests, while exploring individual statistical milestones available to Canucks players in the final eight games.
With Dregs, the guys discuss whether Tyler Myers' bonus payment could be moved up so it's not at a cumbersome time of year for a trade (Sept. 15). Dregs was so amused by that discussion last week with Rick Dhaliwal that he busted out his Dhali impression!
