Matt and JPat discuss Rick Tocchet's comments about the Canucks core. They are all sensational talents who have had individual success, but are they ready to sacrifice for team goals? And how does the leadership transition work? Other topics include the franchise carnage of the Jim Benning era, Émilie Castonguay sitting on a Hockey Canada panel, and ex-Canuck Zack Kassian getting a new opportunity in the Pacific Division.

Rob Williams stops by to discuss his belief in the core, the piecemeal approach to power play coaching this season, Andrei Kuzmenko's Bali adventure, scoreboard problems at Rogers Arena, and B.C.'s favourite MLB team.

And we go To The People to hear listeners' comments on segments and interviews from the past week, including a Tell Me I'm Wrong about the Lions fattening up on weak sisters, and a Hot Take about changing the Ryder Cup format.
