April 12 2024 – Frank Seravalli & Jeff Paterson

Saturday Showdown for the Pacific Division! The Canucks are getting set to face the Oilers, and Matt and Blake are getting you ready with all the discussion points around the game, including the possible participation of stars like McDavid and Demko who are coming back from injury. Plus, the guys debate where the best spot is for Lindholm, and whether his practice assignment with Joshua and Garland will stick. 


Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli stops by for his weekly visit and weighs in on the question of who’s just better, the Oilers or the Canucks? Also, his thoughts on the possible off-season contracts for Hronek and DeSmith, and the soap opera continues around the Coyotes. 


Rink Wide’s Jeff Paterson also joins with a full preview of the Oilers-Canucks game including the goaltending situation and the new Lindholm line. All that, plus another edition of To the People We Go! Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

April 11 2024 – Patrick Johnston & Vanni Sartini

Matt and Blake debate whether winning the division matters, potential first-round opponents, and those arguments spill into whether the Canucks should be worried about form heading into the final three games of the regular season. Topics include: the division race, goaltending and Thatcher Demko's return, the overtime loss to Arizona, special teams, offensive output, Rick Tocchet's comments about the power play, Elias Lindholm's take on intensity and finding form before the playoffs, the plight of the Arizona Coyotes and a potential relocation, and the Buffalo Sabres' drought continues.


Patrick Johnston stops by to discuss the division race, Canucks goaltending, the loss to Arizona, the offensive attack being too predictable, the play of Conor Garland, and the best opponents for the team in the playoffs.


Whitecaps FC head coach Vanni Sartini joins talk about the club's sublime start, the offence and newcomer Fafa Picault, Alessandro Schöpf, and a first-place showdown against L.A. Galaxy Saturday at B.C. Place. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

April 10 2024 – Frank Corrado & Rob Williams

A Coyotes finale of all finales? The final matchup of the season between the Canucks and Yotes takes on new meaning with multiple reports of their impending move to Salt Lake City for next season. But it’s also a newsy day for the Canucks, as Matt and Blake take a look at a lineup that likely includes Elias Lindholm, who had missed seven games, and another start for Arturs Silovs as well! The guys also go over the prospect of a Demko start on the weekend, as the Canucks number one goaltender practiced again. 


Frank Corrado stops by with his thoughts on the progress of the Canucks ahead of the playoffs, and whether the dressing room is starting to show its personality and how that benefits the team on the ice. 


The Daily Hive’s Rob Williams has the latest on the Canucks in the black skate jersey for the playoffs, and post-season watch parties. Plus, The Masters edition of The Golf Report, brought to you by Whistler Golf! Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

April 9 2024 – Jeff Paterson & John Shannon

Milestone night as the Canucks beat a playoff team for the first time in a month, taking down Vegas! Boeser to 40 goals, Miller to 100 points, while Hughes and Garland shine as well, so lots for Matt and Blake to discuss on this edition of the show. Plus, with the performance of the undefeated Arturs Silovs, who gets the start between the pipes on Wednesday vs. the Yotes?


Rink Wide’s Jeff Paterson joins the boys live from practice with the latest on Thatcher Demko’s imminent return, and Jeff gives his thoughts on the day’s poll question and Miller’s impact on the Canucks since he arrived. 


John Shannon makes his weekly appearance as well and talks about the winding road of Garland as a Canuck, and the team’s efforts to hold back Edmonton for the Pacific Division title. Plus, John’s informed opinion on the fate of the Coyotes and Salt Lake’s bold venture of naming an NHL franchise that they don’t even have. All that and more, including the NCAA tourney & the Jays & Mariners series! Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

April 8 2024 – Brian Burke & Walter Cosman

The big week begins! The Canucks have a massive 3 game set this week, and Matt and Blake get you ready with a preview of the showdown with the Golden Knights, and all the permutations thereafter. The guys have the latest from the game-day skate as the Canucks make changes, including the insertion of Arturs Silovs in between the pipes. What does that mean for the crease for the rest of the season, especially if they get a win? And, are 11 forwards and 7 D going to be a thing?


Former Canucks Executive Brian Burke drops by with his insight into the season for the Canucks, including how they can beat LA if it comes down to a playoff matchup, the GM’s role at this time of the season, LTIR and more! Plus, Burkie discusses the possibility of the PWHL expanding to Vancouver.


Later on, Walter Cosman from the Vancouver Canadians sets the stage for Opening Dat at the Nat on Tuesday. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

April 5 2024 – Frank Seravalli & Al Murdoch

Another playoff preview?? The Canucks close out their road trip in LA on Saturday, and a win makes it even more possible that the two sides face each other in the first round, so Matt and Blake look ahead to the possible lineup changes and how the Canucks might be able to break through the stodgy LA system. The guys also wonder aloud about the defence rotation and who will find themselves on the outside of the top 6 come playoff time. 


Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli stops by and gives his thoughts on the neck and neck Norris trophy race, the less dramatic Coach of the year competition, and the muddy future of the Arizona Coyotes. 


Plus, a special visit from the voice of the Canucks home games, PA announcer Al Murdoch! The big voice weighs in on the return to the playoffs and the excitement in the building, and does Al know if the skate jersey will be the choice for the post-season? Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

April 4 2024 – Frank Corrado & Jeff Paterson

Canucks earn the split and outlast the Coyotes! Quinn Hughes is the story right now and Matt and Blake are all over it as the Norris favourite has lifted his game to another level again. The guys poll whether or not Hughes is the team MVP, and whether anyone will follow his example as the team tries to find its dominance again ahead of the playoffs.


Frank Corrado stops by to wax poetically on the Canucks best defenceman, and how he’s adapted and developed even further. Frank weighs in on the Norris consideration as well and then finishes with some storytelling on line brawls in the wake of the Devils-Rangers standoff. 


Jeff Paterson also stops in with his post-game report on what happened in the desert, and whether or not the Canucks PP may be turning the corner. Plus, the goaltending situation, as Silovs shines and Demko nears a return! JPat also reveals that Rink Wide: Vancouver will be going live with post-game shows on video!

April 3 2024 – Patrick Johnston & Irfaan Gaffar

Matt and Blake discuss the Canucks' 6-3 loss in Vegas and whether it's time to worry. Difficult night for Elias Pettersson, Ian Cole, Casey DeSmith, Nikita Zadorov and others. They talk about the hard-charging Oilers and first place in the division, the Canucks' poor form since the all-star break (especially against good teams), Pettersson's pointless nights, officiating, missing Thatcher Demko, and whether Noah Juulsen is one of their six best defencemen.


Patrick Johnston joins and says he's worried, especially about Pettersson. He talks about Demko's timeline for return, whether DeSmith should've been pulled in Vegas, the power play, the star players, Rick Tocchet begging players to step up, the team's lack of run-and-gun and more recently, lack of gun, and flashbacks to the 1992 & 1993 Canucks.


Irf Gaffar stops by and says it's no mystery as to who needs to give more. He takes us through injuries and timelines for return on Demko, Elias Lindholm, plus guys like Hronek (and Pettersson?) playing through injuries. Cole, Juulsen, Vasily Podkolzin, Arshdeep Bains are also covered. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

April 2 2024 – John Shannon & Jeff Paterson

On the road again! Canucks are in Vegas to start a 3 game roadie this week, so Matt and Blake preview the possible first round showdown, including the lineup changes. Also, can the PP build off what happened versus Anaheim and can Dakota Joshua keep this up?


Jeff Paterson stops by from Rink Wide: Vancouver with his take on the Canucks form of late and whether there’s reason to be confident just on defence alone. Jeff gives us his lineup permutations, and possible goaltending assignments for the week too. Then, it’s John Shannon stopping by for his thoughts on the battle for top spot in the Pacific and the hard changing Oilers. John uses his years in the league office and tv to guess which day the Canucks might start their first round series, and comments on the reports that some NHL games might move to Amazon for next season. 


That plus some news on the Whitecaps and C’s, and football odds and ends too! Presented by Applewood Auto Group.
