  • 2072. May 20, 2026: Coach quest begins, front office rebuild

    02:13:32||Ep. 2072
    The Canucks met the media to discuss the departure of Adam Foote's staff and the boys have you covered. Matt and Blake listen in on Ryan Johnson's comments about the past and the future, and the guys debate whether the team will bother interviewing other people beyond Manny Malhotra. ESPN draft analyst, and former Canucks staffer, Rachel Kryshak stops by to give us her take on the re-shaping of the Canucks and the people tasked with the rebuild. She tackles the big 3 at the top and her experience with them but also the analytics and AGM departmemts as well. Rachel then dives into her draft rankings and where the Canucks should go at number 3 and number 24, with a surprising angle on whether the Canucks should choose Caleb Malhotra. Then it's TSN's Frank Corrado, who also has history with the Sedins, talking about what he heard last week and what he expects to see from the twins at the top. Frank also gets into the possible dynamic of two Malhotras in the dressing room and the remaining Canucks prospects at the Memorial Cup, as Frank gets set to call the games on TSN. The guys wrap up the show with a look at the baseball performances from last night and an awkward night for the Mariners. Plus, more injuries for the Canadian World Cup team, the Whitecaps gets set to deal with missing bodies for their first half finale, and is the PGA on its way back to the Pacific Northwest?Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
