  • 2143. June 23, 2026: Big week underway but Canucks Nation is waiting; final CMNT preps before SUI!

    02:13:54||Ep. 2143
    The finger tapping has begun in Vancouver as the draft quickly approaches on Friday! Matt and Blake dive into the quiet abyss that is the Canucks right now, amidst the chaos that is the rest of the NHL. The guys debate whether the Canucks can pull off any additional magic, beyond their scheduled picks this weekend, and whether their minds have been made up on the choice at number 3. TSN's Craig Button joins the guys to talk about the Canucks' uncertainty because of the Sharks pick ahead of them and how the remote style draft affects the dealings for Vancouver. Craig gives his final take on Stenberg's likely landing spot but he's open to a big surprise. Craig also talks about Viggo Björck's late rise in the rankings and his ability to play centre, pus, the maneuvering at foot to acquire the Ruck twins later in the first round. Then it's Transfermarkt's Manuel Veth on the opening 2 weeks of the World Cup and the almost flawless execution to this point. He jumps into the Canadian match vs Switzerland and his sense of whether Davies will play and the likely replacement for Ismaël Koné. Also, Manuel talks about the Swiss style of play and how Canada may, or may not, be able to exploit it. The guys finish up with a recap of the other recent matches around the World Cup. Plus, the full baseball story as the M's and Jays continue to hang around the playoff picture, and the PGA Tour finally announces its massive structural changes that may impact the Canadian Open. Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!

  • 2140. June 22, 2026: Canucks aim for Canucks after Brady pulls a "Hughes"? World Cup update!

    02:05:28||Ep. 2140
    Oh Canada! Matt and Blake tackle some nationalism today as the Canadian men prepare the biggest match ever at the World Cup, and as the Canucks watch another star American player force a trade south of the border. The guys debate whether Vancouver's draft will be affected by the history of the Tkachuks, Hughes and Gaudreau. They also get into the return of the Brady deal and whether it's any better or worse than what the Canucks received. They also look at the reporting that the Canucks will not be drafting Caleb Malhotra because of his dad being coach. The 4th Period's David Pagnotta joins the show to discuss what he's hearing on all fronts regarding the Canucks and whether the prices are too good to be true. He looks at the possible going rate to acquire Jake DeBrusk and whether Elias Pettersson could have salary retained by Vancouver to facilitate a deal. Then it's Elite Prospects' Cam Robinson with his last pre-draft hit with the boys. Cam solidifies his thoughts on Malhotra vs a defenceman, but also adds in some uncertainty about what the Sharks will do ahead of Vancouver. Cam has a few more options for the Canucks at 24, and compares the back end of this year's first round vs what he usually sees. Matt and Blake are joined by KK Harvey, the 1st overall pick of the Vancouver Goldeneyes. She talks about her career to date, which already includes an Olympic gold medal, NCAA championships, and a whole closet full of other accolades. KK shares her thoughts on the idea of playing for the Goldeneyes and bringing her winning ways to Vancouver. The guys finish up with the latest from training for Canada, as they get a healthy body back in. The BC Lions say goodbye to a former starter, and the US Open finally provides some drama and.... controversy?!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!

  • 2136. June 19, 2026: Canada tastes World Cup victory! NHL trades continue, Canucks next?

    01:47:59||Ep. 2136
    After an historic win at BC Place, Matt and Blake dive into the first men's World Cup victory Canada and how the city embraced it! The guys look at the Koné injury and who can replace him, and how they can manufacture a result vs a much higher quality side in Switzerland. The boys are joined by FIFA VP Victor Montagliani, who talks about his pride in how his home city put on the match and gave Canada the home pitch advantage. Victor looks at how hosting the World Cup came to be in 2026 and where this program is headed with this experience. He also talks about what this match says and does for the saving of the Vancouver Whitecaps in MLS, making a bold prediction in the process. Next up is Jeff Marek of The Sheet with his latest thoughts on the wheeling and dealing we're seeing around the NHL. He talks about how the Raddysh sign and trade could relate to Hronek trade for Vancouver, and even throws in a possible destination. Marek also talks about the surprising availability of Matthew Knies and Byram, and how a summer of trades could be shaping up. Matt and Blake finish up with a rundown on the day at the World Cup, the BC Lions rosters moves ahead of their Friday night game in Hamilton, and the US Open shows its teeth through 2 rounds.Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
