Matt and Blake unpack a huge weekend in Vancouver sports with CFL/MLS playoff games and a statement victory from the Vancouver Canucks. Are the Canucks simply on a heater? Or are they serving notice of being a damn good team? Canucks topics include the continued exploits of Elias Pettersson, Quinn Hughes, Thatcher Demko; their standing in the NHL across a variety of categories; the play of Ian Cole; and what this sets up for the rest of the year. On the Lions, the boys discuss Vernon Adams' masterpiece in the West semifinal and the scary collision involving special teamer Jack Hinsperberger. On the Caps, officiating is put under the microscope as the season ends on an indigestible note.

Rink Wide: Vancouver host Jeff Paterson joins to talk about the Canucks' 8-2-1 start. Jeff discusses the big-game feel Saturday -- a first for the quartet of Pettersson, Hughes, Demko and Brock Boeser; the play of Demko is a more limited workload then expected, points in 7 straight games for the first time since Bruce There It Is; points from the defence corps; and whether the Canucks can screw it up from here.

Giulio Caravatta stops by to take a bow after 25 years calling Lions games. He tells us about Adams' need to use his legs, the Lions unflinching comeback after getting down early, and the challenge that awaits in Winnipeg next Saturday.

Plus, we go To The People and hear from listeners on the Canucks, Lions and Caps. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.
