The wait continues on the future behind the Canucks bench, so Matt and Blake watch the clock and wonder where this is all headed for the team. The guys get into the possibility of Manny Malhotra as an alternative, and then the candidates beyond as well. Also, with news of Lionel Messi's arrival in Vancouver, the guys look at the historic semifinal vs the Whitecaps tomorrow at a sold out BC Place. Then it's TSN's Frank Corrado joining in to discuss what he feels about the futures for Tocchet, Hughes and EP40. He drills down on if the problem is physical or mental for Pettersson, and the fear of loss regarding Hughes. Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects then drops by from the U18 World Championships, giving his take on the future of Hughes and the entire defence corps. Cam gives us the latest on the Willander situation and if the young blueliner has immediately become a trade chip because of the standoff. Also, Cam gives us a scouting report on who's at the U18's that may be a draft target for the Canucks at #15. All that, plus the PWHL officially expands to Vancouver, JT Miller goes for the US Open, and some football news too!
