A bit of a special episode today. I touch on the newfound cap flexibility for the Canucks (thanks to the Oliver Ekman-Larsson buyout). But more importantly, I got to chat to one of our dear community members Carol who is in the hospital, and then with my son Jacob who answers questions on the livestream.

The Canucks are set to buy out the remainder of Oliver Ekman-Larsson's contract, effectively freeing up cap space over the next few years while extending the contract on the books from 4 years to 8 years. What effect will this move have on the Canucks this summer?

Canucks GM Patrik Allvin announced today that Ethan Bear underwent successful shoulder surgery. Bear was injured at the 2023 IIHF World Championship and is expected to be out for 6 months. As well, we talk about what the Canucks' priorities should be over the next few weeks as they look ahead to the draft and free agency.

The Vegas Golden Knights thumped the Florida Panthers 9-3 to win the Stanley Cup in five games. In this episode, I look at some of the most intriguing storylines from the series including Jonathan Marchessault winning the Conn Smythe Trophy, Matthew Tkachuk missing game 5 with a broken sternum, and Jack Eichel winning a Cup before Connor McDavid.

Most of all, we talk about how the Golden Knights only took 6 years to win their first Stanley Cup...exactly as owner Bill Foley predicted.

With their 3-2 win on Saturday night, the Vegas Golden Knights are one win away from capturing their first Stanley Cup. I asked the viewers to predict who will win game 5 and their answer might surprise you.

According to Pierre LeBrun in his latest article for the Athletic, Brock Boeser requested a meeting with GM Patrik Allvin after the season and told him that he preferred to stay put. So what are some fair expectations for his performance going forward? As well, Steve "Dangle" Glynn is leaving Sportsnet after 9 years to focus full-time on SDPN. This is an exciting move for him and I feel very blessed to be part of the SDPN family.

Jonathan Marchessault had 2 goals and an assist as the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Florida Panthers 7-2 to take a commanding two game lead in the Stanley Cup Finals. The series now shifts to Florida for game 3 on Thursday.

Numerous reports have surfaced that Ray Ferraro will replace John Garrett on Canucks Sportsnet broadcasts this year. Given Ferraro's current commitment to ESPN, it's believed that he will do up to 25 Canucks games this year, and then transition to a more full schedule after this season. We talk about this potential fit for Sportsnet, as well as game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Defenceman Jett Woo has signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Canucks that will pay him $775k/year in Vancouver and $100k/year in Abbotsford.

With his MVP performance in the IIHF World Hockey Championships, is goaltender Arturs Silovs ready to back up Thatcher Demko on the Vancouver Canucks? Or would it better for him to get more starts in Abbotsford?
