DeSmith is DeStarter - The Canucks get set for the Demko-less spell, and call up Arturs Silovs to backup vs the Avs on Wednesday. Matt and Blake debate the readiness of the team to win “meaningful games in March” without their Vezina contender, and whether or not fans should expect to see Silovs get any starts in the NHL before the end of the season. 

Rink Wide: Vancouver's Jeff Paterson stops by with the very latest from practice and his own thoughts on the goaltending. Plus, will the line combos remain unchanged as long as the Canucks keep winning? 

John Shannon makes his weekly appearance as well, with a summary of the Canucks at the deadline, DeSmith as worthy successor, and Filip Hronek’s possible price tag in relation to Quinn Hughes. All this, plus a Whitecaps trade, a revamped CMNT roster, and a slew of NFL signings! Presented by Applewood Auto Group.
