July 5 2024 – Ray Ferraro, Jeff Paterson (co-hosting) & Sean Whyte

Summer weather is here and so are the sunny predictions for the Canucks! With Jeff Paterson (Rink Wide: Vancouver) sitting in for Matt Sekeres, Blake and Jeff look at the possibility of newcomer Jake DeBrusk hitting an all-time high in goals and getting past 30 in the new environment alongside Elias Pettersson. Plus, we get Jeff’s final report from Canucks development camp, and the names of a couple players that stood out in that group.


ESPN’s Ray Ferraro then stops by for some storytelling about his baseball days of long ago, but also a scouting report on Debrusk and the rest of the newcomers, including some high praise for the overall Canucks plan to take the next step.


Then Sean Whyte of the BC Lions stops by to chat about his recent streak of field goals and the fabulous start to the season for the entire team. All that, plus a COPA, Whitecaps and C’s report. Not to mention another edition of your feedback in “To The People We Go.”

July 4 2024 – Patrick Johnston & Rob Williams

We’re having leftovers today on Sekeres and Price, as Matt and Blake take a look at the players that remain unsigned in the NHL and look for any that may fit the bill for what the Canucks are missing. Most specifically, a puck-moving defenceman but perhaps a scorer as well.


The Province’s Patrick Johnston stops by for his review on the week that was for the Canucks, and talks about his picks for continued improvement for the Canucks.


Then the Daily Hive’s Rob Williams chimes in with his view on the NHL’s busy summer calendar, plus how the market has responded to the Canucks signings, and who might be fan favourites in 24-25. All that, plus a review of a huge win on the road for the Whitecaps, and another edition of The Golf Report!

July 3 2024 – Frank Corrado & Sara Civian

The Canucks shopping spree seems to be done for now, but still lots to discuss on what’s ahead for the team so Matt and Blake go over the next steps for the team in the wake of free agency. We also hear from Vincent Desharnais, the Canucks last signing of the day on Monday, and fresh off his run to the Cup Final with Edmonton. Then we hear from Tom Willander at Canucks development camp, as he gets set for what might be his final year of college at BU.


TSN’s Frank Corrado joins the show with his Canucks report card on free agency, and where they should still want to improve.


And then finally, a chat with Sara Civian, covering the Bruins, with her scouting report on the 3 Bruins that came over in free agency and the 2 Canucks that went the other way! Follow us on social. Thank you to our sponsors:

July 2 2024 – Harman Dayal & John Shannon

Meet the new-look Canucks as we get into Day 2 of NHL free agency! Matt and Blake walk you through the ins and outs of each Canucks signing so far and how they may fit into Rick Tocchet’s system, not to mention, how Tocchet’s system may change in light of the acquisitions. The guys also compare the roster of last season to the new group and see where there may still be holes to fill. 


The Athletic’s Harman Dayal stops in for a chat on the free agent haul and discusses where the Canucks may be getting some value, and chimes in on the terms for DeBrusk and Myers and whether there might be regret.


Then it’s John Shannon back for his weekly visit, and he talks about where a year like this ranks in terms of free agent frenzy. Plus his review on the NHL Awards show, the draft and the recent class of Hall of Fame inductees.

Ohhh soo close to July 1st free agency, and the Canucks continue to make news before they get there. Matt and Blake go over all the details of the Tyler Myers contract. We hear from the Canucks defence man as well, and then they tackle the decision to walk away from negotiations with Nikita Zadorov, with comments from Patrick Allvin as well. Plus, they start to drill down on where the remaining free agent dollars could be spent, more on the wing or more on defence?

June 27 2024 – Patrick Johnston & Rob Williams

The Canucks are making moves! Lots to discuss on today’s show after Vancouver re-signs Blueger and Joshua and trades away Ilya Mikheyev and 85 percent of his salary cap hit. Matt and Blake go through the two contracts with a fine tooth comb and look at the ramifications of the trade and what it means for the Canucks free agent aspirations, including in goal where Casey DeSmith is back in the conversation.


Patrick Johnston of The Province joins in as well, and gives his thoughts on all the moves and their effect on a Nikita Zadorov contract. Plus, PJ talks about the Canucks’ pursuit of Guentzel vs Reinhart?!

June 26 2024 – Irfaan Gaffar & Frank Corrado

Question marks aplenty for the Canucks as free agency nears for many of their players and still only Hronek and Friedman have signed on the dotted line. Matt and Blake also take a look at a handful of former Canucks that will likely be available on July 1st, and whether any would make sense in a return.


It seems quiet now, but Rink Wide: Vancouver’s Irfaan Gaffar stops by (58:00) and tells us what he’s hearing around the Canucks, and whether he believes they’re still in on Jake Guentzel. Plus, we get Irf’s take on the players that might actually move the needle for the Canucks to improve upon last season.


Then it’s former Canuck Frankie Corrado (1:41:00) paying a visit, fresh off the celebration in South Florida and the Stanley Cup Final. He gives us the lessons learned in the playoffs and the Final, and where the Canucks can improve in key areas to take the next step. All that, plus a recap of Canada’s historic win over Peru in the Copa America, and the latest from the BC Lions as they get set for Thursday! Follow us on social. Thank you to our sponsors:

June 24 2024 – Jeff Paterson & Andrew Harris

Another busy show for Matt and Blake as the Canucks off-season is set to hit overdrive this week with the full NHL offseason beginning tomorrow, the draft this weekend, and free agency just seven days away. The guys update all the usual files of Canucks free agents, and then get into some rumours of the day, including the possibility of a Tyler Toffoli return. In addition, the guys get into a Game 7 Cup Final preview and address whether this might just be the biggest game in NHL history.


Jeff Paterson, the host of Rink Wide: Vancouver, stops by with his expectations for the week to come, and whether the Canucks will make any splashes around the draft. Plus, Jeff addresses the question marks on forward and defence, and tells us when he thinks the Canucks are officially into “win now” mode.


Former BC Lion Andrew Harris then joins the gang in studio, talking about his stellar career in the CFL, both with the Lions and the Bombers. Harris is also the subject of a new documentary on his life, and he talks about the emotional experience of going back over some dark years in his life. All that, plus a decent week for the Canadians in The Golf Report, and an update on the Lions and Whitecaps! Presented by Applewood Auto Group.
