March 12 2024 - Jeff Paterson & John Shannon

Ep. 765

DeSmith is DeStarter - The Canucks get set for the Demko-less spell, and call up Arturs Silovs to backup vs the Avs on Wednesday. Matt and Blake debate the readiness of the team to win “meaningful games in March” without their Vezina contender, and whether or not fans should expect to see Silovs get any starts in the NHL before the end of the season. 

Rink Wide: Vancouver's Jeff Paterson stops by with the very latest from practice and his own thoughts on the goaltending. Plus, will the line combos remain unchanged as long as the Canucks keep winning? 

John Shannon makes his weekly appearance as well, with a summary of the Canucks at the deadline, DeSmith as worthy successor, and Filip Hronek’s possible price tag in relation to Quinn Hughes. All this, plus a Whitecaps trade, a revamped CMNT roster, and a slew of NFL signings! Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

    01:25:05||Ep. 1814
    The Canucks may be about to play the Blue Jackets but all the action on today's show was about the duelling Jim Rutherford interviews in the Vancouver media yesterday. Blake and Jeff Paterson take you through the ebbs and flows of the two sit-downs, and what it appears to mean for the future of the Canucks. The guys debate what the messaging is to the fanbase and whether it was received well by the Canucks faithful. Also, the Canucks may be about to get a couple of injured players back soon. DFO Insider David Pagnotta also joins the show to get into the insinuated rebuild of the Canucks. David goes over the roster of possible trades, and whether truly "everyone" is available. He outlines the scenarios that could lead to a Hronek or EP40 trade, and also the few players that have a hot market that's building. The guys also get into the latest on the Whitecaps and Tristan Blackmon, the Caps sign a new player, a new Canadian World Cup tune up match, and the CFL's Olympic plan!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
