Matt and Blake talk about Elias Pettersson's future with the Canucks and how this year needs to be the year they make the playoffs. No, really. Serious this time. One last dance with Petey if the team falls short. Other topics include ex-Canucks signing PTOs with Edmonton, the Canucks chairman celebrating a star-studded birthday, the Lions baffling loss to Hamilton, the Whitecaps' sensational win at Portland, and CPKC Women's Open at Shaughnessy.

Former Canadian national team player and head coach Jay Triano joins the show to talk about the team's terrific opening weekend at the FIBA World Cup in Indonesia. Canada wins its first two games by 30 and 50 points, respectively, and looks like it has finally arrived to the challenge the USA.  Jay takes us through the personnel, the head coach (whom he serves with in Sacramento with the Kings), the tournament to come and what it means to builders like him to see the program making so much progress, the sport getting more attention from coast to coast.
