Rink Wide: Vancouver

The guys spent some time chatting about who we might see go up against McDavid and Draisaitl. We heard from Travis Green from practice earlier in the day. 

Patrick Johnston of Post Media joined the program. He addressed everything from the game this weekend vs Edmonton to the kind of defensemen Quinn Hughes is. Says that Horvat should be up against McDavid. Even though nobody can catch up with him. It keeps the lotto line together up against the likes of Draisaitl. Power vs power. 

On the other side of that we hear, again, from Travis Green. The guys debated who should be staffing the Power Play, including where Garland would best fit in. JPat talks about his thoughts on having two defensemen on the PP. We hear from Brock Boeser being back on the Power Play. We also take a look at the standings of our in-house Canucks pool. It’s not good for one of them…

The guys break down comments that we hear from Elias Pettersson who stood in front of the media, showing a sign of maturity, according to JPat. 

Wadden and JPat talk about the Power Play and how nice it would be to see the first unit click and maybe not having to see the second at all. That’s not the way it happens, though.

We hear from Head Coach, Travis Green. The guys also run through the Hamonic news that was broken by Matt on Sekeres and Price today. We ran through the hot start in Abby and how great it is for the farm to be in the backyard of the big club. Finished off by chatting a bit about the home opener and what to expect from the Wild.

The guys were hot on the poor face-off numbers by the Vancouver Canucks and how it is an area of concern. 

Seattle Kraken Writer for nhl.com and ESPN710, Andy Eide joined Wadden and JPat to talk about the new kids on the block. Says it’s a little surreal to finally have it but a ton of excitement. There may be some over expectations but it’s excitement overall. On the resale market they are seeing 2-3 thousand dollars for tickets. Talked about how the first time on the ice there will be before the morning skate on Saturday. Talked about what the market and the learning curve for new hockey fans in the city. There is 4 WHL teams in the state and hockey has been there for a long time. Hockey fans have been underground because there is nobody really to cheer for. Had to explain offside and how the players shift. Talked about fighting making it’s return to the modern game through the Kraken. Andy was shocked that it has happened the way it has. A lot of those fights were against Philly as a victim of circumstance. Doesn’t think it’ll be the team we’ll see all year. It did help bond the team, answering the bell.
