Friday regular and Canucks insider, Rick Dhaliwal, joined to talk all things Canucks. Talked about Boudreau officially coming back. Thinks this got too public and it’s not a good look for either side. Says that everyone got together and said that this isn’t good. Talked about what the hold up could have been. Wasn’t term and money so must have been asst. coaches. Talked about the training staff that were let go. This doesn’t surprise anyone. Talked about Kuzmenko. The player is looking at years down the road. Just because he can only sign a one year deal now, doesn’t mean they don’t have an eye on the future. Talked about Brock Boeser. Thinks that contract talks will begin next week. The team isn’t afraid to qualify him. Talked about OEL.
Rob Williams of the Daily Hive joined Matt and Blake for his regular Friday hit to close out the show. Talked about the return of Boudreau. Talked about having street parties for big games. Talked about Troy “from Richmond” Stetcher. Awesome to see. He has a huge number of fans in Vancouver. He resonates with fans here as an underdog story. Wondered if the Canucks might take a look at him at the end of the season.

Vancouver Whitecaps head coach, Vanni Sartini, joined Matt and Blake after a victory over a CPL team in Valour. Happy they did their job and have now qualified for the quarter final. They have stopped this bad tradition of losing to a lower level team. Was pleased with the first half but second half became sleepy. That’s why the chances dried up. A game of two faces. Likes that the last two games have been clean sheets. Talked about Teibert. The soul of the group. Thinks that he has been picked on by the fans too much. He leads the team on the pitch with his intensity. Talked about Chiellini. Has met him a lot of times but not recently. Everything is possible. Would absolutely love to have the captain of the Italian national team. Will say no for now as they don’t have the rights. If the rights holders don’t have good conversations then they will see what happens. Says it would be nice to have another Italian on the squad so it’s easy to communicate. Talked about Baldisimo. Says he had a very bad family situation but all the stress overwhelmed him on the pitch. Is proud of him. It wasn’t an injury, was related to his mental condition. Says the better the national team does in Canada, the better it is for everyone who works in soccer in Canada. They can feed each other with the excitement for soccer.

Scott Rintoul joined for his regular Thursday spot! Talked about the return of Boudreau and if and when it will happen. Says it’s not done until it’s done. Doesn’t think the Canucks should tank for an opportunity for Connor Bedard. Would love to see it here. Where the core players are at here, that would be a long shot to have them finish that low. Talked about Canada Soccer and the upcoming matches at BC Place.

Our Wednesday regular, Darren Dreger, joined Matt and Blake to chat about the NHL. Talked about the Oilers and the disappointment the Oilers will face if they get bounced in the 1st round, yet again. Talked about the likelihood of the first and second picks being on the move. Doesn’t think that Trotz is a fit for Canucks management.
Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects joined Matt and Blake for a quick recap of the draft lottery. Says there will be some options at 15 for the Canucks. They will be sitting around to see what happens. There could be some upsides and sliders. The big mosh of players will come after picks 5 and 6. It’s not a demonstrably strong class. Talked about our poll question and what the Canucks should get for JT Miller. Vancouver needs a lot of stuff and should be looking for more than 1 asset.

Our Tuesday regular, Patrick Johnston, joined Matt and Blake. Talked about the availability of Barry Trotz. Not one PJ thought he saw coming. If you replace a guy, you better get somebody better. Talked about OEL and what it would take to trade him. Thinks if anyone on the back end will move, it’ll be Myers. Talked about the value of Ryan Johnson to the Canucks.
