Matt and guest co-host Jeff Paterson discuss the Canucks hiring of Adam Foote as the club's 22nd head coach: was he Quinn Hughes's choice?, the case for continuity vs a clean break from last year; his work with the defence and penalty-killing, his thin coaching resume and his tenure with Kelowna, can he get more from Elias Pettersson?, the other candidates, and what becomes of Manny Malhotra? They also discuss the signing of Tom Willander and whether he remains trade bait, as well as Stephen Brunt's sit-down interview with Canucks president Jim Rutherford.

Frank Corrado joins with his two cents on Foote, the path forward, the familiarity he has with Rutherford and the team, the pros/cons and the limitations this coaching search faced.

Brunt stops by to tell us about his chat with Rutherford, the life/times they discussed, the year from hell, the coming of NBA-style soap operas to the NHL and whether people like Rutherford are going to continue to run hockey teams going forward.

The clock continues to tick on the Canucks coaching search, and it seems that the new blood in the coaching ranks may get the job. Matt and Blake get into the debate on Foote vs Malhotra vs Sturm, plus look at the others that may have an outside shot. The guys also discuss the big BC Lions announcment as Snoop Dogg is announced as the home opener concert act! Elite Prospects' Cam Robinson makes his weekly visit and talks about his perceived rankings for the coaching job, plus he weighs in on the Canucks negotiations with Tom Willander and the urgency to get that done. Cam also tackles the offer sheet possibilities this summer, as the new compensation levels were announced, and whether the trade route may be a better option to get a couple of names that he has his eyes on. Then it's a chat with the number 1 prospect in the Blue Jays organization, Arjun Nimmala of the Vancouver Canadians. Arjun talks about his unique path to the sport, via cricket, plus the long road ahead to the majors and his first impressions of the city and Nat Bailey stadium. Then the guys finish up with some NFL scheduling news and the Whitecaps' Canadian Championship schedule!

The search continues for both the Canucks and former coach Rick Tocchet, as both sides look for next season's answer. Matt and Blake take a look at where those journeys are at, as well as the growing assumption that it may be a coach without NHL head coaching experience, such as Manny Malhotra or Marco Sturm. The guys also look at the very real possibility that Tocchet has been offered the job in Seattle, and how that will be received here by the fans and the team. John Shannon stops by to discuss some of the other candidates, many that he knows personally, and offers who may or may not be the right fit. John also talks about the wisdom of NHL expansion, with Atlanta(?!) and ite as the reported destinations. Then it's RinkWide Vancouver's Jeff Paterson on the valiant run by the Abbotsford Canucks who advanced to the 3rd round of the AHL playoffs. JPat gets into yet another fabulous performance by Arturs Šilovs, the veterans that have stepped up, and the mild concerns over the recent performance of Jonathan Lekkerimäki. All that, plus a baseball update on the M's and Jays series, and the Whitecaps storm back for a draw against LAFC in front of a season high crowd!

Another day, another interesting quote from Canucks management! Matt and Blake take a look at Patrik Allvin's chat with season ticket holders and his latest recap on the JT Miller and EP40 saga. The guys debate whether Canucks management needs to be a bit more of a cheerleader for EP40, and whether they've now spoken too much on the season's drama. Patrick Johnston of PostMedia stops in to chat about the latest rumblings of Rick Tocchet to Seattle, but also on the relationship between Petterson and the team, especially after Allvin suggested he and others were not ready to start last season. PJ also gives his current favourite to become the next Canucks head coach. Jeff Paterson then wraps up the week with a dive into the coaching carousel around the league, and he also gets into Abbotsford's chance to move on to Round 3 of the AHL playoffs, and who's most stepped for the team to make it happen. All this, plus a baseball preview for the Jays and Mariners in Seattle, the C's play one of the shortest baseball games of the season, and it turns out the Pope isn't a Cubs fan after all??
