John Shannon stops by to discuss Hughes' genius and Rick Tocchet's work behind the Canucks bench. John tells us why the NHL is going dark two nights this week, why the Stockholm games weren't nationally televised, the Pacific Division strength, the future of East Van's Milan Lucic, and how close the Blue Jackets are to packing it in for this season and trading defencemen.

Matt and Blake discuss the week ahead for the Canucks (how many points do they need out of 8 available), Saturday's loss vs. Seattle, improvements in even-strength scoring and the penalty kill, whether they should sign Ethan Bear or trade for a defenceman, Chris Tanev's comments last week about not re-signing in Vancouver, and whether there's a mini-window that will get Canucks management moving aggressively.

They guys also discuss the 110th Grey Cup, it's exciting finish, the local hero Tyson Philpot catching the game-winning touchdown, the Bombers blowing it again, Marc-Antoine Dequoy's rant, the Als' band of misfit toys and...uh...MVP Cody Fajardo, which brought a mea culpa from Matt.

Jeff Paterson, the host of the Rink Wide: Vancouver podcast, joins to discuss Andrei Kuzmenko and guys who have to pick it up, both on his line and with its pace, and other in the lineup (Sam Lafferty, Anthony Beauvillier), the loss to Seattle to Saturday, Sunday's practice, how many points they need this week and whether Bear makes more sense than a trade for the defence. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.
