Matt and Blake talk Canucks' cuts, the roster battles remaining, the status of Ilya Mikheyev, the continuing conundrum of who plays with Quinn Hughes, and the coach's comments on why Vasily Podkolzin and Akito Hirose were sent down to the minors. Other topics include the Lions clinching a home playoff game, the Caps closing in on a playoff spot, a fiery Ryder Cup and the Jays and Ms going separate ways as the MLB postseason hits. Rink Wide: Vancouver co-host Jeff Paterson joins to tell us what he saw and heard at practice after the cuts. Who plays with Hughes? Is Nils Höglander now a lock? Does Jack Studnicka make it? What is left by way of experimentation in the final two preseason games? And is there any chance they add a defenceman by next week's roster deadline? Presented by Applewood Auto Group.
