October 12, 2016 Blue Jays fans vs. Canucks fans: check your emotions
Can you imagine two fan bases which are more different emotionally than the Blue Jays' vs. the Canucks'?
It's Patrick Johnston and Steve Ewen, on a Casual Tuesday.
The Jays, of course, are rolling into the American League Championship Series. They're a fun team to boot.
The Canucks...well pundits and fans are down on them. And yet, here we are, debating number eight defencemen and 13th forwards.
It's a funny time of year.

October 07, 2016 The Pat-cast is thankful for the regular season
It's the Thanksgiving edition of the Pat-cast.
J-Pat and Botch are thankful for regular season hockey being almost here.
How has this pre-season gone? What's with Philip Larsen? What's with Jake Virtanen? What's with the roster decisions in general?
Oh, and how about those Blue Jays? They were always going to be more exciting than that new rink in Edmonton.

October 04, 2016 Some older guys and some younger guys and very few in the middle
Steve Ewen is cranky again.
Patrick Johnston isn't.
There's still almost two weeks to go until the NHL season starts for the Canucks. But we do have some talking points.
Troy Stecher is one. What happens with the rest of your lineup is part of his story.
How does the Miller/Markstrom dynamic play out.
But in the end, who will score the goals?
And what about the Blue Jays: does making the Wild Card Game mean the season has been a success?
This is a Casual Tuesday on Province Sports Radio.

September 29, 2016 The Pat-cast: Exciting exhibitions, media brawling and gushing about Stecher
JPat and Botch head to Rogers Arena after the Vancouver Canucks opened the preseason in San Jose and then at home vs. Edmonton.
Wednesday was the most exciting game Rogers Arena has seen in 2016. This is a preseason game, so...
The pair talk about Troy Stetcher's chance of making the team, Guddy and Hutty, and Botch sheds light on his new feud with a certain midday radio personality.

September 28, 2016 Is Team Canada too good?
Is Canada too good and what are we going to do about it?
Eric MacKenzie and Patrick Johnston like the Team Europe concept. The World Cup's format has mostly worked - but there's still a competitiveness problem at the top end.
So what could be done? We spoke a bit about the lack of zip last week, but there was plenty of buzz about Canada vs. Russia in the semis. Now others are writing about the problem.
Also, hot take: Jordan Subban is hurt mostly by his name. We wouldn't be talking about his demotion were he not a Subban.

September 28, 2016 Giants launch, Canucks launch, we’re on it
We're a bit cranky this week. No reason. Maybe it was the debate on Monday night.
The Giants started off with a bang - not on the ice, but they were a hit with fans. Can the enthusiasm stick, though?
And what about the Canucks' pre-season plan. Some kids are already gone. A couple might be surprises. But then again they're talking playoffs, which maybe is ambitious.

September 21, 2016 World Cup zip
People really are watching the World Cup of Hockey.
Shocking!
Patrick Johnston and Eric MacKenzie are back and so is hockey. No one can resist talking about it.
Plus some thoughts on the Blue Jays and the CFL and TV broadcasting.

September 21, 2016 Ryan Miller, your “number one” goalie
Seriously, what else is Jim Benning supposed to say?
Casual Tuesday returns from a two-week hiatus to go right at some Canucks questions.
Patrick Johnston and Steve Ewen break it all down. The Blue Jays are in Seattle. People love it.
Some are grumpy about it. But most just say "winning is fun."
Plus, a Giants primer for the new season.

September 07, 2016 World Cup hockey will still be better than NHL hockey
Well the World Cup of Hockey is here.
Patrick Johnston and Eric MacKenzie look at the possibility that gold medal fatigue is harming the buzz of the NHL/NHLPA-run event.
Wouldn't it work better if it were mid-season, as an All Star Game replacement.
Plus, will the pool be a story at the Paralympics? It should have been more of a story at the Olympics last month.
And why were fan expectations about the Canada men's soccer team apparently so high — it seems like they were anyway.

August 30, 2016 What’s the Canucks 2016-17 narrative going to be?
Last year it was about being a playoff team while doing a reset with the kids.
This year...well that's an open question.
Patrick Johnston and Steve Ewen are back — it's a Casual Tuesday after all.
There's also Blue Jays and Canadians and Lacrosse to consider.
