Oct 7, 2025: NHL season begins! Canucks lineup tweaks remain

The puck drops on the NHL season tonight, and with the Canucks starting Thursday, Matt and Blake have you covered with all the storylines to get you ready. The guys get into the recent roster juggling as Mancini returns and Joseph heads to the injured list. Will Blueger be ready to play, and is Bains really a top 6 forward? TSN's Frank Corrado stops by to debate where the Canucks are at right now, and the proper deployment of Braeden Cootes, in the near and long term. Frank also gives his prediction for the Canucks season, and what to expect around them in the division and conference. Then it's the The Daily Hive's Rob Williams brimming with optimism about the Canucks on the ice, but pessimism about the chances for all new seats at the rink by Thursday night. Rob weighs in on the realistic goals for the Canucks season, and after a sold out NBA preseason game, whether this a Raptors town or a future NBA town. They finish the show with the latest from Whitecaps and Lions camp, a key injury on the CMNT, plus the Jays and Mariners get back at it in their respective playoff series!
