    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.

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!

    8 straight losses for the Canucks after the latest defeat in Ottawa, so Matt and Blake look at what continues to plague the team, and the broadening fallout of their recent play. The guys bring in Postmedia's Patrick Johnston to talk about Jim Rutherford's comments to him about "everyone" potentially being available for trade and the ever changing definition of what "rebuild" means in Vancouver. The guys also look at the improved play of Elias Pettersson and whether that's a sign that the team should keep him or explore a trade as the market improves. Then it's former Canucks exec. Laurence Gilman dropping by to discuss his new role with the Columbus Blue Jackets. LG gets into the details of the gig, the role of culture on NHL team, and Kent Johnson's possible turnaround this season.

Cam jumps into the latest draft projections too and on the ascension of Stenberg to Number 1. Plus, he looks at two centres who may or may not have a shot at cracking the top 3. All that, plus Matt and Blake check in on the Whitecaps before they leave for Spain, the Seahawks/49ers injury report and the CFL abolishes the tie?!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!

  • 1809. Jan 13, 2026: Mon Dieu! Canucks 0 for 4 on trip, OTT next

    01:49:40||Ep. 1809
    After yet another thrashing on the road for the Canucks, Matt and Blake pick up the pieces and wonder what's next for the team. The guys debate whether a coaching change is needed or wanted by the team/fans/media, and whether losing this bad will have detrimental effects on certain players. Plus, there are injury updates on Sherwood and Demko, trade rumours abound and the Canucks have another Olympian in the organization. RinkWide's Jeff Paterson jumps in to join the guys and discuss what he saw in Montreal. JPat weighs in on the lack of scoring from the veterans with big contracts, the goaltending performance of Tolipilo, the risk of a losing culture, and Adam Foote's role in all of this. Jeff talks about Manny Malhotra's possible succession plan as well and whether waiting too long to make trades is going to come back and bite the Canucks. The guys wrap up the show with a final look at NFL Wild card weekend, Canadian mens soccer players going in opposing directions this season, and Kyle Lowry getting labeled the "GROAT".Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
