SCT POST GAME EDITION!!! Hear Tanbir, Nam and Ryan's thoughts on the immediately after the Vancouver Canucks defeated the Las Vegas Golden Knights 5 -2 in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semi Finals. The boys chat the importance of Troy Stetcher, the x factor that is Tyler Toffoli and just how good the kids have been in their first Stanley Cup Playoffs. Jimbo also has Nam turning into a believer.  

The post game report - The Vancouver Canucks are one win away from their first REAL Stanley Cup playoff series in just under a decade defeating the St. Louis Blues 4-3 in Game 5 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals. Tanbir, Nam, Ryan and Raja chat Jacob Markstrom keeping the Canucks in this one, the emergence of Tyler Motte and the bottom 6 and of course it isn't an episode of SCT without some Jake Virtanen talk.  

Producer Ryan Lehal had a lot on his mind on the morning of Game 5 between the Vancouver Canucks and St.Louis Blues and just had to pick up the mic and start recording in the early am hours. The JT Miller trade receipts that the television broadcast just won't let go of, the importance of Brandon Sutter, the officiating, where has Brock Boeser gone and of course it isn't SCT without a little Jake Virtanen talk. Oh, and is this really how the Canucks match up against actual contenders? 

Side note, this is Ryan and I am posting this at 3:41am ... Goodnight  

Ryan Lehal steps in to preview the Canucks vs St Louis Blue Western Conference Quarterfinal match up, alongside Tanbir Rana, as Vancouver makes their first post season appearance since 2013. The boys also chat the outcome of the NHL Draft Lottery, how deep this Canucks team is, #ScottRoadCellies and give their opening round predictions across the league! 

Two games into the play in and the boys are talking about what's been going down in the bubble. The Canucks and Wild are tied at a game a piece in the Stanley Cup qualifiers and there's a lot to talk to about! Travis Green's lineup decisions, Tyler Toffoli's "injury," Micheal Ferland and of course Jake Virtanen. Jason, also known as @DesiMundha on twitter makes his SCT debut. 

It's been a wild time in Canuck land recently and the salary cap is on everybody's mind. Are the Canucks in salary cap hell? How does Jimbo get himself out of this? Is there even a problem? Oh and what about Jack Rathbone and the Minnesota Wild? 

#TeamTank or #TeamPlayoffs talk actually has Nam being ..... positive? The boys are joined by Joe Marino, you may know him from the classic Bertuzzi Naslund Scores song 

The boys reconvene to discuss the potential return of the NHL and look ahead to the Canucks and Wild best of 5 and how Vancouver even matches up with Colorado. Giving up the conditional draft pick for JT Miller this year or in 2021? The differences between how Mike Gillis and Jim Benning are judged and when the Canucks cup window is. 

Ryan Lehal and Raja Shergill finally get their chance without Nam and Tanbir to debate their list of all time greatest Canucks. The conversation takes a bit of a turn as Ryan puts down a criteria that future players need to meet in order to have their jersey retired in Vancouver and it sounds like that could threaten the numbers currently hanging in the rafters. The boys also break down the franchises all time best netminders and you might be surprised as to who makes the top 5.
