Stop us if you’ve heard this one before. The Vancouver Canucks entered the trade deadline under-performing with several pending UFA’s that could be shipped out for nice draft picks and prospects in an effort to rebuild their slumping franchise.

And just like all those past trade deadlines, the 2025 deadline was no exception.

Ryan and Arash get together this week reeling from another disappointing trade deadline in Vancouver. They look at the contradicting comments made by Patrik Allvin, the team's inability to generate any offense (AT ALL), and if they can make it into the playoffs.

They also discuss the big changes in Boston and Aaron Ekblad’s twenty-game suspension for PED’s. They also play Sauce It? or Toss It? And answer some great listener questions.

Ryan and Arash get together this week to rave about the quality of hockey in the Four Nations Face-Off this past week including the most anticipated game in a long time between Team Canada and Team USA in Montreal. Sidney Crosby delivers in a big way, but we're still a little worried about Jordan Binnington consistency.

What does this trade mean for the rest of the Canucks' season? How will Elias Pettersson perform as the lone top line centre, and what moves are next for Vancouver?

Jim Rutherford just poured gasoline on the Miller/Pettersson saga, but seemingly everyone in the organization got burned.

Ryan and Geeta are joined by P Mac on the Street this week, filling in for Arash, to break down Jim Rutherford's comments in the Globe & Mail regarding Elias Pettersson, JT Miller, an ongoing issue that they just can't squash, and another week of PR hell.

They look back at two impressive complete games by the Vancouver Canucks, and wonder if the season is salvageable.
