Aug 23, 2024: Demko's Health, Ian Clark's Future and Sammy Blais Role with the Canucks

Matt and guest co-host Irf Gaffar unpack a busy week for Canucks news. The guys talk Thatcher Demko and what to do if he's not ready for camp/preseason/start of season. They discuss the prospect of adding a goalie like Kevin Lankinen, how much Demko can be trusted going forward, Artus Silovs' workload and the demotion of Ian Clark from director of goaltending to development coach/scout. Other topics include the signing of winger Sammy Blais, the promotion of Marko Torenius to goaltending coach, Roberto Luongo's day with the Cup and the Canucks being the best-looking team in the NHL.

Frank Corrado says he'd be worried if Demko misses camp/preseason. He discuss Silovs having to play more, a potential Lankinen signing, Clark's role changing, the Podkolzin trade with Edmonton and the Blais signing.

Harman Dayal says the Canucks don't need everything to go right to be a playoff team and the season does not hinge on Demko's health. Harman likes Lankinen but says Jiri Patera is interesting, too. His eyebrows are raised by the Clark move; has some confidence with Silovs playing a tandem workload. He also talks Podkolzin trade, Blais and the looming showdown between Daniel Sprong and Nils Höglander to play on Elias Pettersson's wing.
