Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne & Sam McKee start with the depth trade in Vancouver before welcoming Mike Halford from Sportsnet 650 to discuss the good vibes for the undefeated Canucks (4:25). He weighs in on whether they can potentially contend, how the team has changed with a full training camp under Rick Tocchet, the uncertainty of Elias Petterson heading toward RFA next summer and the importance of Thatcher Demko bouncing back. Next, Lindy Ruff makes a statement by benching Timo Meier, Evgeny Kuznetsov's slow-motion shootout and evaluating 'Panama' as the Leafs' Original Six goal song.
