The guys break down a quiet, low-energy night at Rogers Arena and what it says about a fanbase that’s burnt out and out of belief.

Landon Ferraro joins the show to highlight a strong night from the young Canucks, praising Raty, Karlsson, and Bain while projecting Karlsson as a dependable third-line NHLer who has clearly benefited from working with the Sedins.

With Höglander set to return and center depth stretched thin, the crew breaks down lineup decisions, Hughes’ playful “Fitzy” moment, and why Ferraro expects trade chatter to intensify even further. They close by examining Vancouver’s goaltending situation, whether Tolopilo deserves a longer run, and why the Hughes trade, if it ever happens, must net the best assets available.
