Happy New Year! It's the first Pat-cast of 2018, powered as ever by Eagle Ridge GM.

This week, Jeff Paterson and Jason Botchford dial in on what Trevor Linden had to say — and didn't say — this week in his state of the franchise media session. And related: Jim Benning's future.

What do JPat and Botch think of how Travis Green has handled the goalies of late? 

Who is the Canucks' best defenceman and what does will the corps look like two years from now?

The Canucks were totally lost against Anaheim...and the Ducks weren't even that good. Oh boy.

How did Christmas go and are the guys really ready to cover the Canucks' second half?

And...what's up with Botch's twitter?

This is Province Sports Radio.
