We're a few games into the 2021 NHL season, the Canucks have a sluggish start and the waiver wire gives Geeta a scare.

Ryan, Arash and Geeta get together this week to talk about the Canucks' 1-3 start to the season and Jake Virtanen's underwhelming time on the top line. We give a few positives, but remain cautious about what the team can do this season.

They also discuss Jakub Voracek' fiery comments to a Flyers' beat reporter, discuss the Av's colourful uniform changes and Geeta deals with an emotional Sunday as Jason Spezza is placed on waivers ... sort of.
