Sept 16, 2025: Miller's time in NYC, Hughes buzz continues

With the Hughes family news continuing and the Rangers naming JT Miller captain, Matt and Blake take on the swirling stories of the two captains and the impacts on the Canucks' future. The guys look at the international eyes that are on this story and the Canucks' showdown vs the Rangers next month. Cam Robinson joins from Elite Prospects to give his review of the Canucks' performances last weekend in Seattle. He also chimes in on the players from the AHL Canucks that are vying for NHL jobs and roles this season, giving us his choices to make the leap. Cam also jumps into the Quinn Hughes story and whether NHL players like McDavid and Kaprizov will begin to Cup hunt on short term deals like some NBA stars. Veteran broadcast host and executive John Shannon is back as well, and tackles the JT Miller appointment and whether it's deserved. John also gives us his first hand memories of the recently departed Ken Dryden and Bob Goodenow, and their respective impacts on the sport of hockey. All that, plus the guys look at an historic night for a former Vancouver Canadian in his Blue Jays debut, the Whitecaps prep for a Canadian semifinal, and the Lions and Seahawks try to stay healthy.
