Matt and Rink Wide: Vancouver co-host Jeff Paterson discuss the Canucks contending under this ownership. How they did once and can again if only this year-to-year management morphs into a better long-term plan. The guys also talk about Ilya Mikheyev's recovery, Andrei Kuzmenko's globetrotting and the progress made last year under head coach Rick Tocchet. John Shannon joins to recap BC Hockey Hall of Fame weekend in Penticton, including a tender moment between Brent Seabrook and his son; the Canucks timeline for contending; the NHL schedule matrix and whether the Canucks can avoid long, eastern road trips in October; plus the careers of Patrice Bergeron and Jonathan Toews. Paterson replaces Price for another edition of SvP: today's topic, can the Canucks contend over the next 3 years? Presented by Applewood Auto Group.
