Aug 19, 2024: Punting on Podkolzin and Rourke's apology after Lions loss.
Ep. 881
•
Matt and guest co-host Patrick Johnston are joined by guests Farhan Lalji and John Shannon to discuss the Vasily Podkolzin trade. Will he come back to haunt the Canucks? Did this take the Oilers out of jail? Were there other destinations? They discuss why Podkolzin never panned out here, how he should have been a Rick Tocchet-style player, how he was rushed to the NHL, his lack of production and three misfires with top-10 picks. They also talk about how the Oilers should now be able to match offer sheets on Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway.
(2:00) Poll Question: Does Podkolzin come back to bite the #Canucks?
(3:30) Did the Canucks help out a division rival with this trade?

(87:30) John Shannon hops on to talk about Podkolzin's lot in Edmonton and the offer sheets with St. Louis.

1809. Jan 13, 2026: Mon Dieu! Canucks 0 for 4 on trip, OTT next
01:49:40||Ep. 1809After 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!

1805. Jan 9, 2026: Historically worst Canucks? Leafs up next
02:07:48||Ep. 1805After another mind-numbing Canucks loss last night, Matt and Blake are forced to look into historic comparisons of Canuck ineptitude. The guys debate just how low they can go, and what that will mean to the fanbase, the owner and the team. The guys relay the latest trade rumours and possibilities for Vancouver, including a familiar name that was previously of interest for the Canucks. RinkWide's Jeff Paterson is back to recap the awfulness from Detroit, and to chat about where this season ranks all time. JPat also talks about the sagging performance of the vets like Boeser and Marcus Pettersson, and the need to move on soon for Sherwood and maybe even DeBrusk. The Sheet's Jeff Marek makes his 2026 debut and the boys go deep on a variety of issues from the Olympic ice surface to World Jrs to the Ottawa Senators off ice soap opera. Marek also talks about any Sherwood interest from the Wings and they get into trivia on active franchise goal leaders. In the final segment, Matt and Blake take a look at the drama on and off the field in college football, the possibility of snow games in the NFL playoffs, and we have a leaked look at what the Canadian men will look like at the summer's World Cup!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
