Sept 26, 2024: DeBrusk and Daniel dazzle, Canucks rolling in preseason

After another highlight filled preseason win, this time over the Flames, the Canucks are ticking a lot of boxes before the real games begin. Matt and Blake go over the individual performances of note and how it might impact the opening night roster. Plus, can any of these dazzling performances be repeated before game 1? Patrick Johnston of The Province stops by to detail his day with the "other" Canucks, as he was out with Rick Tocchet at UBC yesterday, chatting with the coach and the guys who didn't play last night, like JT Miller and Brock Boeser. Tocchet gave PJ a little insight into who's impressed him, and a personal sports career that we hadn't yet heard about from the bench boss. Then Rob Williams joins from the Daily HIve with a full slate of topics, including a detailed update on the status of new seats at Rogers Arena, the Canucks changing beer brands at the rink, and the new face of intermissions on Canucks television broadcasts. All that, plus a look back at a championship night for the Whitecaps over TFC, and the Lions final preps before the Tiger-Cats!

Sept 25, 2024: Gameday: EP40, Hughes debut and the kids go again vs the Flames

Another preseason gameday for the Canucks as they run it back with the kids vs the Flames. Matt and Blake recap game 1 vs the Kraken but also look ahead to this one in Abbotsford as Quinn Hughes, Jake DeBrusk and EP40 make their debuts. They also wonder aloud if guys like Räty or Lekkerimäki can keep up their good play and actually make the roster. John Shannon stops by for his weekly visiti and weighs in on the roster machinations that are possible for the Canucks, both at forward and in goal. Plus, he uses his decades of experience in the broadcasting business to talk about the importance of the Amazon reality show "Faceoff:Inside the NHL". Then it's time for the analysis and storytelling of TSN's Frank Corrado, who talks about the unpredictability of a young player trying to make the NHL in preseason and the differences between Räty and Lekkerimäki's bids this year. Plenty more as well, including Caps vs TFC and the Lions preparing for Hamilton!

Sept 24, 2024: Gameday: Canucks vs Kraken, Lekkerimäki is in and Lankinen arrives

After a summer of waiting, the Canucks hit the ice vs the Kraken in the first game of the preseason! Matt and Blake take a look at the lineups and who has the most to be won and lost. Plus, the guys debate who might get more action this season in the crease, Šilovs or Lankinen? Former NHL goalie Chris Mason stops by from the Preds broadcast booth to discuss the Canucks goalies as well, and give a scouting report on Kevin Lankinen after watching all his games in Nashville. He also weighs in on what Kiefer Sherwood can bring to the team after changing his game to suit the NHL. Then it's Cam Robison from Elite Prospects to discuss whether Lekkerimäki or Räty can earn a spot on opening night, and if Nils Höglander can consistently find himself in the top 6 this season. All that and more, including the final preps for the Whitecaps before the Canadian Championship tomorrow, and the Lions looking to blast out of the bye week. Don't miss it!

Sept 23, 2024: Clarity in the Canucks’ crease and scrutinizing the scrimmage!

A busy weekend recap show as Canucks training camp wraps up with a scrimmage and the team signs a new backup goaltender in Kevin Lankinen. Matt and Blake take a look back at the notable performances from the mini game, and hear from the likes of Conor Garland and Rick Tocchet, and debate what size of role Lankinen is likely to take on in Vancouver. Rinkwide's Jeff Paterson is back from Penticton, and has a full post game report from Sunday, and also looks at who's likely to impress as they move into the preseason games, including names like Sprong, Blais and the veteran stars. Whitecaps head coach Vanni Sartini also stops by in the wake of a tough loss in LA, but ahead of the Canadian Championshp match vs TFC on Wednesday at BC Place, and talks about what a 3-peat would mean to his team down the stretch. All that, plus a gridiron update on the Lions and Seahawks!

Sept 20, 2024: EP40 speaks! Blueger’s back early and Lekkerimäki impresses

The Canucks continue to take their turns making seasoning opening media appearances and this time it's Elias Pettersson's turn!

Sept 19, 2024: Demko delivers the details as camp opens in Penticton

Drama on day 1! Canucks training camp opens in Penticton and Thatcher Demko speaks about his injury for the first time. Matt and Blake play you all the important clips and talk about the lack of timeline, the rare nature of his injury, and the fact he had a procedure done this summer for another injury as well. Noah Strang of The Daily Hive is on location at camp, and gives his impressions from the Demko availability, and what he has seen thus far on the ice. The Province's Patrick Johnston jumps into the fray as well, comparing this year's group to one year ago, and on Elias Pettersson's admission that his knee injury is still there, albeit manageable. All that, plus a recap of the Whitecaps result on the road in Houston!
