Dustin Boydell joins Russell Holiday to break down an absolute barnburner and fever dream at Rogers Arena as the Vancouver Canucks fall 9–7 to the Edmonton Oilers in a wild 16-goal home opener. The boys start off by reviewing a chaotic contest that saw Edmonton jump out to an 8–2 lead before the Canucks mounted a valiant four-goal third-period comeback that ultimately fell just short. They dive into Kevin Lankinen’s rough night between the pipes, a brutal pair of shorthanded goals allowed on the same man advantage, and the contrasting play of the forwards, highlighting Elias Pettersson’s vintage performance with a goal, two assists, eight hits, and stitches in his lip alongside a two-goal effort from Marco Rossi. As well, they chat about Arshdeep Bains beating the buzzer with 0.1 seconds left in the second period, Jamie Oleksiak scoring his first as a Canuck, and Leevi Meriläinen providing steady relief in net.

Then Rusty 'n Dusty get into the fallout of early-season panic, the defensive miscues from Filip Hronek and Tom Willander, and why Brendan Gallagher’s costly early penalty likely punches his ticket to the press box. They analyze Connor McDavid’s five-point performance, question Edmonton’s complete lack of depth beyond their top guns, and look at the underlying 5-on-5 possession metrics that suggest Vancouver controlled large stretches of the latter half of the game. Lastly, the boys preview a massive four-game streaming weekend, including an exclusive chat with Abbotsford Canucks play-by-play voice Brandon Astle, before teeing up Saturday’s showdown against Dustin Wolf and the Calgary Flames.

If you are sick of Luke Gazdic's poor analysis during the intermission, if you are looking for someone to banter with during the game and if you want to meet a bunch of crazy hockey fans then this stream is the one for you. There will be mayhem in chat so make sure you say hello when you stop by.

YouTube sports satirist and creator Urinating Tree joins the show to chat with Russell Holiday about his 10-year journey producing hit series like Lolcows in Sports, The Hater's Guide, and A Legacy of Failure. Tree starts off by diving into his Pittsburgh Penguins fandom, watching Artūrs Šilovs carve out a role in the Steel City, the infamous 2017 Stanley Cup jinx on Pekka Rinne, and the grueling production grind behind This Week in Sportsball.

They dive deep into Tree’s 52-minute Vancouver Canucks edition of A Legacy of Failure, discussing the franchise's snake-bitten lottery luck, trading Quinn Hughes, and what to expect from EP40 moving forward. Tree also reflects on getting blocked by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Twitter, and shares a hilarious message of sympathy and hope for long-suffering Canucks fans heading into the new season.

Dustin Boydell joins Russell Holiday to break down an absolute barnburner as the Vancouver Canucks open the regular season with a thrilling 6–5 overtime victory over the Edmonton Oilers. The boys start off by reviewing a chaotic season opener that had a little bit of everything, from Evan Bouchard netting a five-point and a hattrick to questionable officiating putting the penalty kill through the ringer. They dive into the explosive three-goal surge in the first five minutes of the third period featuring tallies from Jonathan Lekkerimäki, Max Sasson, and a power-play deflection from EP40, before Paul Cotter capped off a monster two-goal night with the overtime winner on a relentless forechecking feed from Sasson. As well, they chat about former Canuck Vasily Podkolzin haunting his old team with a two-goal performance, Kevin Lankinen standing tall under a 37-shot barrage, and the steady defensive minutes logged by Filip Hronek and Jamie Oleksiak.

Then Rusty 'n Dusty get into the tactical adjustments Manny Malhotra will look for on the flight back home ahead of Thursday's rematch at Rogers Arena. They discuss the need to stay out of the penalty box against Edmonton's lethal power play, praise Elias Pettersson's bounce-back effort in the face-off circle after winning both draws against Connor McDavid, and break down Tom Willander's defensive learning curve. Lastly, the boys joke about the Canucks sitting tied for first place in the NHL standings, pick their three stars of the night, and look ahead to the home opener rematch against McDavid and the Oilers in Vancouver.
