Feb 17, 2026: Canada readies for Czechia, EP40 getting trade attention?

Ep. 1879

After another day of action at the Olympics, Canada finds its quarterfinal opponent in Czechia. Matt and Blake get into the matchup, the recent and far history betwee the two nations, and the lineup tweaks that are possible. After a nice tourney so far from EP40, the guys debate whether his trade interest has increased and they respond to reports of possible interest from the Kings. The Sheet's Jeff Marek weighs in on all of this as well, but also the standout performances of Macklin Celebrini. Jeff also walks down memory lane of Canada vs the Czechs in the 1998 Olympics and on the shootout selections gone awry. Cam Robinson from Elite Prospects drops by and his take on the performance of Elias Pettersson so far at the Olympics. He talks about the possibility of a boosted trade value for the Canucks, if they chose to try and deal him. He also gets into some hidden gems that the Canucks could trade a veteran to get, and whether Quinton Byfield is fair return for EP40. He also has the latest on Gavin Mckenna's season in the wake of the assault charges, and who he's looking at in the WHL top prospects game. Then it's a visit from Ashton Bell, from the Vancouver Goldeneyes, with a look ahead to the team's upcoming 5 game homestand. Ashton talks about the aim for the 2nd half of the season, the vibes at the rink, and the health of the PWHL at large. As an Olympic champ, she also gives her thoughts on the Canadian team and the gameplan in the gold medal showdown vs Team USA. The guys wrap up the show with a season preview for the Whitecaps, the rest of the Olympic story for Canada, the Seahawks' offseason to-do list, and the NBA All-Star game... entertains??

The guys get into the road ahead for the men's and women's sides, and the performance of the local players in particular. That includes all of the Canucks, like EP40, who had a breakout game for Sweden, and the BC boys like Celebrini who continues to be the story of the tournament. The boys debate whether fans should "want" to face Team USA or hope for an upset win against them along the way. John Shannon makes his weekly visit to the show and gets into the performances of Canada and the US so far. John talks about any regrets over the omissions of Bedard and Schaefer, and if Binnington is the man for the job going forward. He also talks about the LA Kings' need to replace Kevin Fiala and the fabulous drone footage that is revolutionizing Olympic coverage. Then it's curling legend Kevin Martin dropping to weigh in on the Canadian poking scandal, and gives us his take on whether it's a scandal at all. Kevin also gives us his reviews on the performance of the two Canadian rinks to this point. The guys wrap up with a wide angle view of the weekend that was for Canada at the games and the lack of medals so far.

    01:46:11||Ep. 1872
    After another dominating Canadian win in men's Olympic hockey, Matt and Blake have a post game edition of S & P and a deep dive into everything that's gone right for Canada. The guys look at the continued rise of Celebrini, who's now on the top line for Canada, and they debate whether this may be the best forward line ever assembled. Also up for debate: the starting goaltender for Canada going forward. The boys are joined live by The Daily Hive's Rob Williams in Milan and Rob gets into the vibes around the team and whether everybody needs to keep their feet on the ground or get super excited. Rob talks about the lineup combos and goaltending too, and whether he's got any concerns as they point toward the elimination round next week. Then it's Harman Dayal, from Canucks Conversation, with a look at what the Canucks might be looking into during the current roster freeze. Harm gets into the acquisition of underachievers, over paid players, and some prospects that might be jewels in the rough. They finish up the show with a full Olympic update on the day that was, peek at the Jays trade, and the Whitecaps continue to get support despite all their uncertainty!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
