Another game, another tidal wave goals in a Canucks game! Matt and Blake take a look at both sides of that statement as Quinn Hughes and Elias Pettersson have both found their offensive stride, but the opposition has as well. They explore what the problem is defensively and what might need to change to rein it in. Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects stops by to talk about what he's seeing from the group, including the star players' renaissance and the concerns in goal. Cam also talks about the good and bad from the two young D-men in Tom Willander and D-Petey. Then Cam looks ahead to the draft and Giants defender Ryan Lin's season to date, plus, a couple of other players with local ties. Veteran broadcaster John Shannon makes an appearance as well today and weighs in on the Canucks acquisition of centre David Kampf. John also talks about the league wide scheduling and injury issues, plus, he gets into his picks for the Canadian Olympic roster! Then it's a wrap of the NFL stories of the week, the World Cup qualifiers are wrapping up with a few big surprises, Canada gets set to face Venezuela, and the Whitecaps continue training before their sold out showdown vs LAFC.
