The Pat-cast, powered by Eagle Ridge GM, is on the road in Florida.

Jeff Paterson and Jason Botchford break that down, and then look ahead, wondering how many more games like that are to come.

Is Travis Green's team morphing into Willie's before our very eyes?

Do the Canucks have a true spark plug? And what's going to happen with Ben Hutton? What's the value of mentors at the NHL level?

The trade deadline is just weeks away so it's time to talk.

Oh, and yeah, about that Super Bowl.
