Dec 8, 2025: Canucks tempted by "Fitzy's" Devils? 'Caps vow a return to Cup

Mammoth Monday show, and we're not talking Utah! The Canucks get a shorthanded win vs the Wild, get set to face the Wings, and do it all under the cloud of an EP40 injury and swirling trade rumours surrounding the captain Quinn Hughes. Matt and Blake get into all of that, plus, the play of Räty, the return of Nils Höglander, and an update on Teddy Blueger and Thatcher Demko. The guys also talk about the heartbreak in Miami as the Whitecaps fall short in MLS Cup, despite some thrilling moments, and now point to next year to finish the job. TSN's Darren Dreger stops in to give us the details on any talks the Canucks have had with the Devils, and the perceptions after Hughes' post game comments. He shares whether the Devils are the favourite to make the move or if it makes more sense for Hughes to test another market before free agency. Dreger updates the Sherwood trade file too, and whether the Canucks are having FOMO regarding Marco Rossi trade scenarios from the offseason. Then it's TSN's Farhan Lalji fresh off his soccer assignment in Miami, who chats with the guys on the blossoming plans for a new stadium at the PNE. Farhan talks about the ideal building, the political hurdles, and the new possibility of the Lions joining in. The boys also wonder aloud what it would all mean for the future of BC Place. The show finishes up with a full look at the BC Place World Cup schedule and who will be playing here, the Seahawks win decisively again, and baseball's HOF welcomes one more.
