Matt and Blake discuss the Hughes-Hronek pair and how long it can/will stay together, Friday's game against the Blues, the scary scene with Vasily Podkolzin, Elias Pettersson's interview with Elliotte Friedman from the summer, and Zack Kassian announcing his retirement. The guys also talk about Shane Pinto's gambling suspension, a decentralized NHL draft, and the Lions' chances to take home CFL Player Awards.

Patrick Johnston joins and talks about his story on Podkolzin pre-injury, and how his life changed after becoming a Dad. Patrick also covers the Canucks' start through 6 games, Nils Höglander's emergence and the bottom-6, the longevity of the Hughes-Hronek pair and the Pinto suspension.

Rob Williams reflects on his blogger days and a funny story about Don Taylor getting in his mentions. He discusses the Canucks' 4-2 start, Podkolzin, and the Lions and Whitecaps being playoff-good for the first time since the latter joined MLS. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.
