As the informal skates continue at UBC, it was Quinn Hughes making news in Vegas. Matt and Blake take a look at Quinn's review of his brother's comments about playing together, and whether this noise can continue for 2 more years. The guys also look at Jim Rutherford's role in this, and whether he might have regrets about getting ahead of the story. Plus, via the drama around McDavid and Kaprizov, they look ahead to where these contracts talks could end up. Meanwhile, the rest of the team has arrived in town, and the talk now is about improving vibes and being the best "team" possible under Adam Foote. Patrick Johnston of Postmedia is back this season and weighs in on the Hughes family reunion. PJ also looks at the new and improved EP40, his possible linemates, and what the forward "pairings" might look like under Foote. Patrick also gives us a sneak peek at his new book "Gino", and some fabulous Gino Odjick stories. Then it's local soccer writer Simon Fudge expanding upon his reporting of a possible new investor in the Whitecaps. Who is he, what is he worth, and did Müller's arrival help make it all happen? Matt and Blake wrap up the show with a look at the latest from Caps training, the BC Lions bring back a franchise legend to help on D, and the M's and Jays show up when it counts.
