Aug 14, 2024: The NHL offer sheet is back and so is Nathan Rourke with the Lions!

Who would have thought, but a newsy week in the wake of the Olympics as Blake and Jeff Paterson get down to the offer sheet news in the NHL, with the Blue rocking the boat. The guys get into what the choices are for the Oilers, what it might indirectly mean for the Canucks, and whether there wouuld ever be interest in these moves from the Canucks front office. Then they jump into the big CFL news as the Lions officially welciome back Nathan Rourke from his NFL journey, and where this puts BC in its hunt for a Grey Cup this season. Oilers Nation's Tyler Yaremchuk drops by to talk about the reaction from the Oilers fanbase after the 2 offer sheets come in from the Blues. He goes over the various scenarios the Oilers could be thinking about and what that fallout woould be to accepting and declining to match. The Daily Hive's Rob Williams chimes in on the possibility of Canucks fans FOMO around offer sheets, or whether it's too risky to live in that world, given the Canucks have some young players coming in soon. TSN's Glen Suitor then joins the guys to talk about Rourke's return, and says that he's a Pro Bowl quarterback coming to join a team that already might have the best QB in the league, what this means in the room and for the rest of the league. And of course the big question, do the Lions keep both?

Summer of scoring? The Canucks bolstered their winger depth this summer, so Matt and Blake want to know what that means for the Canucks already lofty goal totals from last season.

TSN’s Frank Corrado stops by with a personal scouting report on former teammate Daniel Sprong, and offers his thoughts on why it hasn’t all come together for the skilled forward, and where he’d fit in the Canucks lineup. Then it’s Rob Willams of the The Daily Hive with his bread and butter reporting on the status of seating at Rogers Arena, plus a big boost in single game ticket costs for Canucks fans this season.

July 24 2024 – John Shannon, Roger Bennett (Men in Blazers) & Irfaan Gaffar (co-hosting)

Matt and Irf Gaffar talk loads of Canucks after Jim Rutherford's interview with the Bob McCown podcast, and Rick Tocchet's interview with The Athletic. Hear from Rutherford on Thatcher Demko's health and how his routine needs to change, on Elias Pettersson taking the next step, on where Daniel Sprong fits in the lineup and what he needs to do to be a more complete NHL player. Other topics include: Tocchet loosening the reigns, on why there was such an emphasis on defensive system, on Pettersson, on taking responsibility for the playoff loss; Sprong on his future with the Canucks, on why Vancouver; and a flexible forward group that can play up/down the lineup.


John Shannon joins to discuss his interview with Rutherford. He talks about Rutherford understanding a Canadian market now, on Demko worries, on building Petey back up, on Sprong, whether more moves are coming and Tocchet's philosophical changes. 


Roger Bennett from Men in Blazers media joins to discuss footy in North America and their live show featuring Wrexham AFC at the Hollywood Theatre Thursday night. Roger talks about the Canadian drone scandal, Jesse Marsch and the MNT, rivalries with USA & Mexico, the evolution of the Men's media network, as well as the amazing Wrexham story and the way it's been told the world over.

July 22 2024 – Patrick Johnston, Wally Buono & Irfaan Gaffar (co-hosting)

With Blake away, Irfaan Gaffar sits in alongside Matt Sekeres to recap a busy weekend in the Vancouver sports scene. We discuss Daniel Sprong signing with the Canucks, his fit in the lineup and what it means for the rest of the forwards vying for top-six minutes. Patrick Johnston then joins the program for his two cents on Sprong, if we could see a trade on the horizon involving a forward for a defenceman, the plan for the Canucks crease next season and more.


We then welcome Wally Buono after he was inducted to the Calgary Stampeders Wall of Fame before the Stamps win over the B.C. Lions. Wally takes us back down memory lane with both teams, the current Lions club and more. Later in the show, we discuss the Mariners, Blue Jays, the Whitecaps, Olympics and more on this Monday edition of S&P.
