With the Canucks needing a centre, and the Bruins reportedly getting interest in a pair of their guys, Matt and Blake debate the fit and likely cost for Vancouver. The guys get into the recent performance of both Mittelstadt and Zacha, and which one would work best. Then it's the latest on the Whitecaps "ref-gate", as MLS rescinds the actions of referee Tim Ford, but can't give them points back. Plus, Thomas Müller begins catering his social media account to Whitecaps fans as he boards the plane ahead of Thursday's unveiling. Rob Williams of the The Daily Hive stops by with his takes on the Elias Pettersson revenge tour, plus some possible intel on EP40's summer romance?! Rob also has updates on ticket prices for the Canucks season, and the slow and steady seat replacement project. He also jumps into the poll question on the 2 Bruins centres and has his own predictions on the Müller effect with the Whitecaps. BC Lions President Duane Vienneau stops by in studio as well and talks about the start of the season for the team, the progress at the box office, and the plans for next season when the World Cup comes to town. He reveals how many home games will be played outside of BC Place, and whether they've had any talks with the Whitecaps about sharing an outdoor stadium. Then the guys wrap up with the latest Lions news on the field, and the full baseball report on the Jays, Mariners and Canadians!

After some vacation days, Matt and Blake are both back in the studio to talk about the latest in BC Sports... The guys get into the ongoing wait for a Canucks 2nd line centre, the news of JT Miller possible being the next captain of the Rangers, and MLS referee Tim Ford sticks it to the Whitecaps again in a scandalous match in San Jose. Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects stops by to weigh in on the hockey news, as well as Elias Pettersson's offseason and vow for "revenge", the Canucks bringing back Vitali Kravtsov from the KHL, and the Oilers looking to a make a deal. Then it's kicker Sean Whyte of the BC Lions, after a massive OT road win in Hamilton, talking about late game heroics and career that is taking him into his 40's. The guys finish up with some talk about the week that was in the CFL, the Jays and Mariners division title aspirations, and the C's down to 2 homestands remaining!
