July 2, 2025: Good enough? Can the Hughes-EP-Boeser-Demko core bounce back?

The core is back for the Canucks, can they find their mojo once more? Matt and Blake jump into the return of the core group of Canucks players, with new contracts in hand, and talk about the odds of a renaissance from the group. They listen in on Boeser's media availability and what led to his return, and what it means for the future of Quinn Hughes. Plus, the guys debate whether there are still imminent moves ahead this summer or if the centre ice position will be slow played for as long as it takes. RinkWide's Irfaan Gaffar stops in for his insight on the Boeser change of heart, both by player and team, and what it means for the guys in the room. Irf also chimes on the Garland and Demko contracts, and how this team lines up as it stands right now. TSN's Frank Corrado then drops in to share his thoughts on the retirement of insider Bob McKenzie, the likelihood of EP40 and Chytil as the top 2 Canucks centres, and the need for Boeser's goals in a weird off season marketplace. All that, plus the Golf Report, some Canada day baseball, and the Whitecaps ready for Galaxy on Friday!
