  • 2380. Nov 10, 2026: Losing games and patience; Lekkerimäki snipes!

    02:04:40||Ep. 2380
    The 30th best team in the NHL was no match for the Canucks' ability to lose, and that means new depths to explore for Matt and Blake today! But hey, the guys do see the bright spots of Jonathan Lekkerimäki's scoring and the veteran trio of Pettersson, Boeser and Hronek that are dominating time on ice. Plus, the ballyhooed prospect for the Vancouver Goldeneyes is ripping it up at the Women's World Championships. It's Tuesday, so that means another edition of The Crossover with Donnie and Dhali! The guys chew on the lack of Canucks success, the fans putting up with extra costs to watch them, and the Lions inability to get into the Grey Cup again. Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects drops by with his review on the Canucks vs Flyers, the blame game between players and coach, and the chances of the Canucks actually stringing together wins at some point. He also drills into the skills of Lekkerimäki and whether he can become a truly "elite" finisher. Then it's Cam's bread and butter in the prospects realm as he looks at Canucks pick, Connor Davis of North Dakota. He also compares Caleb Malhotra's performance so far to the handful of defencemen that were being considered by the Canucks at 3rd overall in 2026. Matt and Blake finish up with a look at the NFL standings after week 9, and an update on the health of Seattle's Sam Darnold. They also look over at the issues plaguing CF Montreal and whether the story is any different for the Vancouver Whitecaps, despite the huge crowds showing up to BC Place!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: | http://www.bet365.ca/BCLIQUOR: https://www.bcliquorstores.com/Movember: https://movember.com/Shop the Daily Faceoff Team Collection now at nationgear.ca.
