Big news day with the re-signing of winger Andrei Kuzmenko and new coach Rick Tocchet blasting his team following a 6-1 loss to the Seattle Kraken. The guys analyze Kuzmenko's new deal with Jeff Paterson (Rink Wide: Vancouver), as well as unpacking all the comments from Tocchet. "Soft, predictable, leadership" and second-guessing."... there were plenty of buzzwords and lots of meaning behind the coach's media session. Ex-Canuck Frank Corrado returns with his personal experience playing for Tocchet in Pittsburgh and what Penguins practices are like. Corrado also shared his thoughts on the Top Prospects Game at the LEC and how North Van's Connor Bedard showed us a new side of his game.

Jeff Paterson (Rink Wide: Vancouver) analyses Tocchet's first day on the job, the propensity of fights for the Canucks, and the looming decision on two-goal hero Andrei Kuzmenko.

Matt and Blake point forward to the Rick Tocchet era as the Canucks prepare for three games in four nights starting with Chicago on Tuesday. From increased roles for role players, to his relationship with Oliver Ekman-Larsson and the daily discussions with management on lineup decisions, the guys lay out what to expect from Tocchet and discuss what can be achieved for this year, and how low they can go in the tank for Bedard derby. Patrick Johnston stops by with what's he's hearing about Canucks ownership, plus analyzes the frank comments from J.T. Miller about how emotional and loud he gets on the ice.

Another jam-packed show with Canucks news aplenty. Matt and Blake dissect Bruce Boudreau's interview on Sirius XM NHL Network Radio including his season-long wonder about when he'd get fired, and his refusal to change systems from last year.
John Shannon joins and the former executive producer of HNIC tells us "that's not the Jimmy I know" regarding Rutherford and the clunky coaching change. 
And Jeff Paterson (Rink Wide: Vancouver) runs through the tasks (plural) ahead for new coach Rick Tocchet and whether this is the lowest point in Canucks' history.

Matt and Blake produce an emergency pod after the Canucks fire Bruce Boudreau, name Rick Tocchet his replacement, and perhaps sink to the lowest point in franchise history. The guys discuss Jim Rutherford’s apologies and half-measure acceptance of responsibility for the way Boudreau’s exit was handled. Will Patrik Allvin now ascend? Sounds like we’ll hear more from him with Rutherford vowing to “zip it.” One year into the job, he’s got his coach and a chance to finally start instilling the culture he’s trying to import from Pittsburgh. Plus, early Tocchet talking points. River hockey. Plans for JT Miller, EP40 & Quinn Hughes. And how he’ll build relationships with a traumatized dressing room.

Former Canucks president and captain Trevor Linden joins to talk about his late friend and teammate Gino Odjick.

Busy as always with the Canucks and on Thursday's show with reports that Rick Tocchet could take over as head coach as soon as Monday. The guys discuss the treatment of Bruce Boudreau and why the Canucks chose to hang their coach out to dry. Jeff Paterson (Rink Wide: Vancouver) joins with his assessment of the Canucks' 5-2 loss against Tampa: the good (Kuzmenko, Hughes), the bad (4-0 after one period) and the ugly (Spencer Martin). Jeff tells us that he was a little underwhelmed by the Rogers Arena crowd and its response to the Gino Odjick pre-game ceremony. And Rob Williams explains his theory on #FartGate, after an unexplained noise came over the game broadcast, and comments on the Canucks newly updated black skate jerseys.

Dregs (Ray & Dregs Hockey Podcast) on a Bo Horvat fit with Carolina, the likelihood of re-signing Andrei Kuzmenko by the trade deadline, Luke Schenn making sense for Minnesota, and why -- why?! -- the Canucks continue to let Bruce Boudreau twist in the wind. Shannon on the Rutherford presser, Rick Tocchet, why he thinks Schenn makes sense for the Oilers, and the legacy of the late Gino Odjick.

Incredibly busy show with so much happening around the Canucks. Matt and Blake make the passing of Gino Odjick their lead discussion point, as well as the subject of the Welcome Matt. The fellas catch up with Kirk McLean, a Canucks ambassador, board member of the Canucks Alumni and a friend/former teammate of Gino. The Canucks legend was beloved by the B.C. hockey public, and today's To the People segment was dedicated to stories and memories of Gino. Jeff Paterson (Rink Wide: Vancouver) joins to interpret a wide-ranging press conference from Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford. So many talking points from his job performance, to a Horvat trade, to an inability to move contracts, to a timeline for competitiveness. Lastly, Nathan Rourke stops by to say goodbye after signing with the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars. The (now) former B.C. Lions quarterback explains why he chose Jacksonville and reminisces about his time in Vancouver and his extraordinary 2022 season.
