They also discuss the Montreal Canadiens as a potential trade partner for the Canucks given the former's surplus of centremen. Rick Celebrini, the director of Performance and Sports Medicine for the Golden State Warriors, stops by to tell us how much he misses Vancouver and the tabs he keeps on his former employers (Canucks, Whitecaps).

Matt and Jeff discuss the future of Tanner Pearson now that he's back skating -- and golfing! -- which seems like great news for that an injured hand. Can he help the Canucks? Is he a Tocchet-type player? Where does he fit in the lineup? Does he need to start in the American Hockey League? Plus, it was this Friday last year when the Canucks signed JT Miller to a seven-year extension. Who should be his wingers and how will he live up to the pressure of performing as an $8 million man?

John Shannon stops by to tell us 1/3 the league have their personnel set, so a Tyler Myers trade might be tricky. John talks about how the trend now is to have a "leadership group" and not necessarily a captain. He also speaks to the Rick Tocchet affect on the club, and the lack of a practice facility.

Plus, Matt faces off against Jeff in another episode of S vs P. Today's topic: Have the Canucks closed the gap on Western Conference playoff teams?

Matt and Blake discuss and dissect Tom Willander, the Canucks' choice at 11th overall in the NHL. From his love of the Canucks at an early age (Orca > Skate), to his meteoric rise up draft boards in the second half of this season, to his next step at Boston University where he'll learn the North American game and get a better opportunity to work on his strength and offensive game. Draft insider Cam Robinson stops by from Nashville with his evaluation of Willander as a player and on how the Canucks did value wise. The guys discuss whether there were trade down opportunities, and the top-10 surprises of Simashev & Danielson -- two other prospects the Canucks were reportedly eyeing.

Matt and Blake pay tribute to fans with one familiar face and one familiar voice joining a special S&P Presents Labour Day edition.

Piero Manetta has been sitting behind the Canucks bench at Rogers Arena for two decades. Fans have long speculated about who he is, what he does, and why he looked right at home with guys like Odjick and Rypien.

Prince Harry's surprise appearance at Rogers Arena and what that has done for the Invictus Games. Plus Canada's collapse against Jamaica in international soccer.

Frank comments on whether a defenceman could win the Hart or Art Ross in today's day and age, on how his ex-teammate Sidney Crosby would get up for showdown games against top players or teams, on how Ethan Bear would help Vancouver's defence, and on prospect Hunter Brzustewicz, who is lighting up the OHL.

The Welcome Matt covers Elias Pettersson's next contract and how the Sebastian Aho extension serves as comparable. Kevin Woodley joins to discuss Canucks goaltending, including a new system under Rick Tocchet making it easier on the goalies and not being as reliant on the position, Demko's new offseason collaborator, the backup competition in camp between Spencer Martin and Arturs Silovs, the sweet spot in terms of number of starts, especially early in the season where feasibly Demko could play the first 14 games. Rob Williams gives us his lines and pairings for the Canucks on opening night, as well as takes us through ticket prices at Rogers Arena this season and in-game entertainment with the Canucks advertising changes to their game-day program.

Jeff Paterson of the Rink Wide: Vancouver podcast sits in Sekeres' seat co-hosting with Blake.

Deadline Day minus 3! The trade targets are coming fast and furious for the Canucks, and around the league, and today Matt and Blake wonder how far the team is ready to go before Friday. Is there a player that would peel free Jonathan Lekkerimäki? Or Tom Willander?” Or even a soon-to-be 20-goal scorer in Nils Höglander?

The Globe and Mail’s Gary Mason stops by for a walk down memory lane on the last time the Canucks were in this position, plus after years of losing, is ownership pushing an aggressive deadline week?

John Shannon has his take on the trade pace around the league, and gives us his player choice for the Canucks to acquire before the end of the week. 

All that, plus a crazy day of moves around the NFL as well! Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

It's another special edition of the show on a long weekend! S&P Presents Vancouver Media Legends: Squire Barnes and Jim Robson. Matt and Blake spend the B.C. Day holiday speaking to two B.C. legends. Squire Barnes, ex of BCTV now Global, tells us why shaving his moustache and changing from specs to contacts helped launch his television career. He's been bringing British Columbians sports news and highlights for more than 30 years, so he gives us his thoughts on the Canucks as well as outlining his friendship with Michael J Fox and making it to the Ellen show. Jim Robson is the legend of all media legends in this province. The original voice of the Canucks outlines how he got the team's play-by-play job, how he could've been a baseball announcer in Seattle and Milwaukee, his first NHL game and a shocking encounter with Tim Horton, as well as his partnership with Tom Larscheid.

Matt and Blake discuss a 2-0 loss to Philly and Wednesday's Canucks news. Topics include: the play of Tyler Myers, Thatcher Demko as the only standout, Rick Tocchet's frustration with the effort, Conor Garland's game against Philly and trade request, poor officiating, Elias Pettersson taking a shot and missing practice, the hopeful return of Ilya Mikheyev, the penalty-kill looking good with Carson Soucy in the mix, and the acquisition of Mark Friedman.

Frank Corrado tells us a John Tortorella story about a video session on shot-blocking and provides his take on what Garland needs to do to realize a trade. He gives us a scouting report on Friedman (whom he played against), and explains why Tocchet was so angry after the game.

Chris Faber from Canucks Army & Canucks Conversation joins with his Prospect of the Week, and his take on the Friedman-Jack Rathbone trade. He recaps the loss to Philly with what went wrong. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

Matt and Blake discuss the week ahead for the Canucks (how many points do they need out of 8 available), Saturday's loss vs. Seattle, improvements in even-strength scoring and the penalty kill, whether they should sign Ethan Bear or trade for a defenceman, Chris Tanev's comments last week about not re-signing in Vancouver, and whether there's a mini-window that will get Canucks management moving aggressively.

They guys also discuss the 110th Grey Cup, it's exciting finish, the local hero Tyson Philpot catching the game-winning touchdown, the Bombers blowing it again, Marc-Antoine Dequoy's rant, the Als' band of misfit toys and...uh...MVP Cody Fajardo, which brought a mea culpa from Matt.

Jeff Paterson, the host of the Rink Wide: Vancouver podcast, joins to discuss Andrei Kuzmenko and guys who have to pick it up, both on his line and with its pace, and other in the lineup (Sam Lafferty, Anthony Beauvillier), the loss to Seattle to Saturday, Sunday's practice, how many points they need this week and whether Bear makes more sense than a trade for the defence.

Matt and Blake survey the Canucks landscape with no shortage of storylines. Do they play a skater short in the season opener? What kind of deals can they make (if any) for Conor Garland? Where is all this Elias Pettersson backlash coming from? Can they acquire a defenceman from Columbus? Surely it's not Erik Gudbranson, right? Plus a Price is Right on what Andrei Kuzmenko does for an encore.
Chris Faber stops by with his thoughts on opening night, on best-case scenarios for Garland, on Pettersson's future, and the search for defencemen, as well as his Canucks prospect-of-the-week. Frank Corrado tells us who will do better transitioning to Rick Tocchet's style and who won't. He explains why the Garland trade request getting public is a big downer for the dressing room. He also gives us a scouting report on Sam Lafferty and the Blue Jackets defencemen available in a trade. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

They also take a look at the penchant for penalties from two of three newcomers, and the cap flexibility the club has left themselves going forward. Darren Dreger from the (Ray & Dregs Hockey Podcast) with his last hit of the season tells us that the Canucks said 'no' on a defenceman being pushed by an Eastern club, and informs that all is not as rosy as Patrik Allvin led us to believe Saturday with regards to Tanner Pearson's injured hand.

Matt and Blake discuss Bo Horvat's tenure in Vancouver, what would possess people to boo him, hear from Elias Pettersson, Quinn Hughes and J.T. Miller on the former captain, what Carson Soucy's loss means, the future of Nils Höglander, proposed changes to 3-on-3 overtime, and NFL entertainment value, which has taken a hit this year.

Frank Corrado stops by and tells us about the Bo Horvat he knows, as a former roommate of the Canucks captain. Was he too goody-two-shoes? Did he try too hard? Why didn't more teammates follow his lead? Was it always a losing proposition given the incompetency in his midst? Frank also gives us a hot take of what he'd do with overtime.

Harman Dayal from Canucks Convo joins and discusses how sustainable the Canucks' great start is and whether that'll matter given the cushion they've built up. He talks about the trade fits of Calgary's defencemen Nikita Zadorov and Chris Tanev. He assesses how much the team will miss Carson Soucy, and muses on whether Horvat or Miller are worthy of the Ring of Honour. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

Matt and Blake countdown to the start of hockey season with the Young Stars tournament less than one month away, and the opening of training camp just a few days after that. They discuss whether the offseason additions "move the needle" for the Canucks both in the short- and long-term; the differences between Pius Suter and Teddy Blueger; the start of Sweden's hockey season with prospects Jonathan Lekkerimäki and Elias (D) Pettersson; and the need for defence prospects beyond the first-round to hit. The Welcome Matt covers Suter and Filip Hronek, two ex-Red Wings who should come to Vancouver with chips on their shoulders after not fitting into the Yzerplan in Detroit. Frank Corrado joins to evaluate Suter the player and the signing for the Canucks. He discusses the mentality Hronek needs to have with his new team; goal-setting from Elias Pettersson; and the final push for NHLers in their summer training. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

Matt and Blake pull a Seinfeld. A show about nothing after the Canucks do jack squat at the NHL Trade Deadline. The guys discuss what the Canucks didn't do in terms of not acquiring a player, nor signing Phil Kessel. They talk about whether they should have beaten the price Winnipeg paid for Tyler Toffoli, missing out on Jake Guentzel, and Jason Zucker. Other topics include: bargain prices for teams with cap space & the Canucks' lack thereof, not wanting to go 'all-in' and sell the farm, not moving on from Ilya Mikheyev earlier, Vegas loading up and the means by which the Knights could load up, and Vasily Podkolzin up/down and role going forward.

Jeff Paterson (Rink Wide: Vancouver) stops by to say he was surprised and disappointed that the Canucks didn't do more. Jeff cites the need for another scoring winger, the lack of 4th-line identity, the inability to add character players, the lack of quality available (in Patrik Allvin's eyes), Elias Lindholm's go-forward from here, needing Podkolzin to play a role going forward in his analysis.

We hear from GM Allvin at the Rogers Arena podium, and we go To The People and hear from listeners/viewers on Canucks-related topics. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

Big show in advance of the NHL draft and with Canucks GM Patrik Allvin holding a press conference from Nashville. Matt and Blake discuss Allvin comments, including the Canucks prioritizing upside and difference-makers over safer picks at #11, and whether that's fact or smoke. The guys also discuss the Friday deadline on qualifying defenceman Ethan Bear and whether he'll be traded or let go, plus Maxime Comtois, whom Anaheim is letting go and would qualify as the big winger on the Canucks' offseason wish list. Darren Dreger (Ray & Dregs Hockey Podcast) joins from Nashville with some information on the Canucks and Blackhawks talking trade prior to the latter's acquisition of Taylor Hall from Boston. Is there still a Conor Garland deal to be made with the Hawks? Would it involve picks #11 and #19, which Chicago owns. Also, Carolina's decision on Brett Pesce, especially when the Canes are in on Erik Karlsson. Could Pesce shake free and be available to the Canucks in a trade. Elite Prospects' Cam Robinson stops for a mock draft up to pick #11. Cam, Matt and Blake all make selections for Vancouver. Cam also reports on the smoke around Anaheim at second overall, and why he wouldn't take Brandon centre Nate Danielson at #11. Presented by Applewood Auto Group

Troubles for Elias x2! Lindholm and Pettersson get the spotlight from Matt and Blake as offensive struggles continue for the two Swedish centres, especially in the wake of back to back letdown losses for the Canucks.

Jeff Paterson stops by from Rinkwide Vancouver, and points out that the Canucks have blown leads, and very early leads, too often of late and aren’t able to finish the games right now. The nine-game homestead is only 30 percent done, but the Canucks do need to stay above 500 the rest of the way to fully ensure the Oilers don’t catch them, what can Rick Tocchet do to make sure that happens?

The boys also take a look at the farm, with Abby post a big win on the weekend. Plus, the Whitecaps remain undefeated and the NFL quarterback carousel continues! Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

The Canucks continue to set the pace atop the Pacific with a win over Montreal, and Nikita Zadorov takes his turn in the spotlight. Matt and Blake discuss the biggest night of Zadorov’s Canucks career as the big defenceman paces the team with two 1st period goals en route to the 4-1 win. The guys can’t help but wonder if nights like that might change the narrative that he’s just a rental for this season. 

They bring in the Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli for his thoughts on that, and how it might intertwine with the Flip Hronek negotiations. Also, Frank’s hysterical thoughts on the soap opera that is John Tortorella’s Flyers squad. 

Rink Wide: Vancouver host Jeff Paterson peeks in with a full post-game report, with more on Casey DeSmith’s fine effort, and the overall defensive play of late.

Big show for a big night as the Canucks try to clinch a playoff berth. Irf Gaffar joins Blake as co-host, and the guys discuss the likely absence of Elias Lindholm vs the Kings and maybe beyond, Dakota Joshua back at practice, and Jonathan Lekkerimäki officially joins the Abby Canucks to possibly even play a game before the season ends. 

Jeff Paterson stops by from Rink Wide: Vancouver and has lots to say on the eventful practice from Sunday, plus a recap of the Canucks win over the Flames on Saturday, and how the homestead might finish up. Jeff gives us his take on how the lineup might change when Joshua returns, and if Filip Hronek may have his run his own defence pair away from Hughes, now, and going forward. 

All this, plus news on the Canadian Men’s soccer team, the Whitecaps, and more! Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

Matt and Irf Gaffar (sitting in for Blake) talk about the Canucks' 3-2 loss to L.A., including whether the Kings are the team to avoid in the playoffs with the way they play and their record against Vancouver this season.

Miller's comments about the Canucks being a measuring stick, even if they're failing to get to the scoring areas against L.A. Plus, we revisit the Lindholm trade and the impact so far, Hronek without Hughes, the schedule for the Stanley Cup Playoffs & more!

John Shannon stops by to discuss the Canucks-Kings, who he'd want to avoid in Round 1, L.A.'s style of play, the playoffs getting moved up and the reasons why.

Matt and guest co-host Jeff Paterson from Rink Wide: Vancouver talk about the Canucks' calling card: is it offence or defence? They discuss the return of Dakota Joshua to practice and his placement on the Miller-Boeser line, Thatcher Demko being placed on LTIR and his earliest return date, the recall of Arshdeep Bains and the need for a young forward to step up, the Elias Lindholm injury and whether it will end badly for him in Vancouver, the struggling power play and potential fixed, individual milestones being hunted, Filip Hronek no longer anchoring his own pair, former Canucks head coach Travis Green's chances of getting the permanent job in New Jersey and former Kamloops Blazer Logan Stankoven making his Rogers Arena debut Thursday.

Frank Corrado stops by and tells us about the Kings' 1-3-1 how it works, how to combat it and why it's caused the Canucks so much trouble. Frank talks Lindholm, Hronek, the power play and the derby at the top of the Western Conference.

Rob Williams has a Fry Gate update for us, tells us about his story on Crazy P, discusses the power play, the Canucks' identity and looks forward to the first-round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

Matt and guest co-host Irf Gaffar look at the Canucks second opportunity to clinch a berth in the Stanley Cup playoffs and a chance to reclaim the top spot in the Western Conference against the Dallas Stars. They delve into several topics including: Dakota Joshua's return to the lineup, his station alongside J.T. Miller & Brock Boeser how much he was missed, and his season arc after some tough love in October. Other topics include 10 games left, it's go time; Elias Lindholm's injury and the centre depth that's able to withstand it, the versatility of Canucks forwards who can play the middle, the matchup on defence against Dallas with two bright young superstars and two of the league's best pairs, a potential start for Arturs Silovs on Sunday, and playoff tickets going on sale soon.

Frank Seravalli stops by and talks about Lindholm's future with the injury and pending free agency. He also covers Filip Hronek's value as the most important Canucks free agent; the schedule for opening night of the playoffs, the cost of minor hockey these days and getting a kid to the NHL; plus the NHL's stance on CTE.

Patrick Johnston joins to talk about Canucks culture and how it's changed in the story he wrote. How the players have matured. How head coach Rick Tocchet has contributed to the changes. PJ also talks about their most important free agents and Joshua's return to the lineup. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

Matt and guest co-host Irf Gaffar talk about the Canucks' ailing power play and how to fix it. They discuss the loss to Dallas on Thursday, the stakes against Anaheim come Sunday, who should tend goal versus the Ducks, why the coach used different forward combinations than what he has practised with, and the officiating vs the Stars. Plus we hear from head coach Rick Tocchet, forward J.T. Miller, evaluate Arshdeep Bains' return to the NHL, look ahead to playoff tickets, and check in on some Canucks' prospects in the NCAA ranks.

Jeff Paterson from Rink Wide: Vancouver joins to talk about the loss to Dallas, the woeful power play, Pius Suter in the bumper spot, fixes, his concern level with how the team is playing heading into the final stretch with the Edmonton Oilers creeping, the blended lines out the gate Thursday, officiating, the Canucks' lack of discipline and which winger (if any) can be a hero and start producing.

Plus, we go To The People and hear from listeners on Canucks-related topics. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

On the road again! Canucks are in Vegas to start a 3 game roadie this week, so Matt and Blake preview the possible first round showdown, including the lineup changes. Also, can the PP build off what happened versus Anaheim and can Dakota Joshua keep this up?

Jeff Paterson stops by from Rink Wide: Vancouver with his take on the Canucks form of late and whether there’s reason to be confident just on defence alone. Jeff gives us his lineup permutations, and possible goaltending assignments for the week too. Then, it’s John Shannon stopping by for his thoughts on the battle for top spot in the Pacific and the hard changing Oilers. John uses his years in the league office and tv to guess which day the Canucks might start their first round series, and comments on the reports that some NHL games might move to Amazon for next season. 

That plus some news on the Whitecaps and C’s, and football odds and ends too! Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

Matt and Blake discuss the Canucks' 6-3 loss in Vegas and whether it's time to worry. Difficult night for Elias Pettersson, Ian Cole, Casey DeSmith, Nikita Zadorov and others. They talk about the hard-charging Oilers and first place in the division, the Canucks' poor form since the all-star break (especially against good teams), Pettersson's pointless nights, officiating, missing Thatcher Demko, and whether Noah Juulsen is one of their six best defencemen.

Patrick Johnston joins and says he's worried, especially about Pettersson. He talks about Demko's timeline for return, whether DeSmith should've been pulled in Vegas, the power play, the star players, Rick Tocchet begging players to step up, the team's lack of run-and-gun and more recently, lack of gun, and flashbacks to the 1992 & 1993 Canucks.

Irf Gaffar stops by and says it's no mystery as to who needs to give more. He takes us through injuries and timelines for return on Demko, Elias Lindholm, plus guys like Hronek (and Pettersson?) playing through injuries. Cole, Juulsen, Vasily Podkolzin, Arshdeep Bains are also covered. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

Canucks earn the split and outlast the Coyotes! Quinn Hughes is the story right now and Matt and Blake are all over it as the Norris favourite has lifted his game to another level again. The guys poll whether or not Hughes is the team MVP, and whether anyone will follow his example as the team tries to find its dominance again ahead of the playoffs.

Frank Corrado stops by to wax poetically on the Canucks best defenceman, and how he’s adapted and developed even further. Frank weighs in on the Norris consideration as well and then finishes with some storytelling on line brawls in the wake of the Devils-Rangers standoff. 

Jeff Paterson also stops in with his post-game report on what happened in the desert, and whether or not the Canucks PP may be turning the corner. Plus, the goaltending situation, as Silovs shines and Demko nears a return! JPat also reveals that Rink Wide: Vancouver will be going live with post-game shows on video!

Another playoff preview?? The Canucks close out their road trip in LA on Saturday, and a win makes it even more possible that the two sides face each other in the first round, so Matt and Blake look ahead to the possible lineup changes and how the Canucks might be able to break through the stodgy LA system. The guys also wonder aloud about the defence rotation and who will find themselves on the outside of the top 6 come playoff time. 

Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli stops by and gives his thoughts on the neck and neck Norris trophy race, the less dramatic Coach of the year competition, and the muddy future of the Arizona Coyotes. 

Plus, a special visit from the voice of the Canucks home games, PA announcer Al Murdoch! The big voice weighs in on the return to the playoffs and the excitement in the building, and does Al know if the skate jersey will be the choice for the post-season? Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

The big week begins! The Canucks have a massive 3 game set this week, and Matt and Blake get you ready with a preview of the showdown with the Golden Knights, and all the permutations thereafter. The guys have the latest from the game-day skate as the Canucks make changes, including the insertion of Arturs Silovs in between the pipes. What does that mean for the crease for the rest of the season, especially if they get a win? And, are 11 forwards and 7 D going to be a thing?

Former Canucks Executive Brian Burke drops by with his insight into the season for the Canucks, including how they can beat LA if it comes down to a playoff matchup, the GM’s role at this time of the season, LTIR and more! Plus, Burkie discusses the possibility of the PWHL expanding to Vancouver.

The guys also go over the prospect of a Demko start on the weekend, as the Canucks number one goaltender practiced again. 

Frank Corrado stops by with his thoughts on the progress of the Canucks ahead of the playoffs, and whether the dressing room is starting to show its personality and how that benefits the team on the ice.

Matt and Blake debate whether winning the division matters, potential first-round opponents, and those arguments spill into whether the Canucks should be worried about form heading into the final three games of the regular season. Topics include: the division race, goaltending and Thatcher Demko's return, the overtime loss to Arizona, special teams, offensive output, Rick Tocchet's comments about the power play, Elias Lindholm's take on intensity and finding form before the playoffs, the plight of the Arizona Coyotes and a potential relocation, and the Buffalo Sabres' drought continues.

Patrick Johnston stops by to discuss the division race, Canucks goaltending, the loss to Arizona, the offensive attack being too predictable, the play of Conor Garland, and the best opponents for the team in the playoffs.

Whitecaps FC head coach Vanni Sartini joins talk about the club's sublime start, the offence and newcomer Fafa Picault, Alessandro Schöpf, and a first-place showdown against L.A. Galaxy Saturday at B.C. Place. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.
