Reunited and it feels so good! Matt welcomes Blake back from the World Hockey Championship, and the guys catch up on all the Canucks news from the past week, especially the hiring of Adam Foote and the media tour of Rick Tocchet. Plus, the Abbotsford Canucks stage a game 3 comeback and now the kids are getting hot too. Patrick Johnston of Postmedia stops by to discuss the future of Jim Rutherford, and whether that had bearing on the Tocchet decision. PJ gives his thoughts on Foote's likely signature on the Canucks style of play, and on the Canucks likely plan to acquire centre help before free agency, not during. Rob Williams of The Daily Hive drops by as well, and gets into the chance of the Canucks using a rostered defenceman to trade for a centre, the Foote decision amongst all the other hirings in the NHL, and death of the Canucks Bar and Grill at YVR.. All that, plus an update on the Whitecaps and C's as well!

Matt and guest co-host Jeff Paterson talk concerns with Adam Foote, his Kelowna tenure and new information about what went wrong, his salary and contract, and his assistants. They also discuss Canada at the World Championships and the Canucks ties at the tournament; the Stanley Cup Playoffs and the absence of Wayne Gretzky from the TNT panel.

Frank Corrado joins to say that Foote's big challenge is getting more from Elias Pettersson. Frank tells us why a daily itinerary down to the minute is crazy stuff; the player must be trusted to get his work done on his own without micromanaging.

Cam Robinson stops by with his thoughts on Foote's hiring, the need for strong assistants, his tenure in Kelowna, and why trading picks for roster players will be difficult at next month's draft. Cam gives us his evaluations of two prospects expected to be selected around the Canucks' 15th overall pick.

The guys also talk about Whitecaps FC extending its unbeaten streak, and the passing of comedic actor George Wendt and his iconic Super Fans sketch on SNL.

Matt and guest co-host Jeff Paterson discuss Mitch Marner's pending free agency and whether the Canucks should pursue the Maple Leafs' forward. They also talk about Jim Rutherford's musing about getting business done ahead of free agency (a trade) not having much cap space left on July 1. Which of the draft picks or prospects should they deal? Do they have to put a roster defenceman in-play to land a top-2 centre. Other topics include Quinn Hughes removing himself from the process of selecting a new head coach, the Abby Canucks playoff run and the final four from the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Darren Dreger joins to tell us who were finalists for the Canucks job, what separated Adam Foote, and why Rick Tocchet said 'no' to the Seattle Kraken. Dreger wonders whether Hughes would follow Tocchet to Philly if he gets to free agency, and where the Canucks will find their top centreman.

John Shannon stops by to discuss Foote's hiring, Marner's free agency and whether series wins in the Cup playoffs should be celebrated to a larger degree.

The Golf Report surrounds Scottie Scheffler's win at the PGA, plus the Whitecaps keep their unbeaten streak alive and the CFL's Lions hit the field for the first time in 2025.
