Sekeres & Price Show

Matt and Blake are together again and talking Canucks' summer. Who had a good/great/big summer to endear themselves to Coach Tocchet? What did you miss -- or may have forgotten -- about the Canucks this summer? What was Tyler Myers' summer like? And which players unsigned over the summer might make for interesting PTO candidates in Vancouver? Frank Corrado stops by to talk what passing Labour Day means for NHL players. He talks about catering to a coach's whims while working out in the summer, and how he's still sore about being bypassed for a rookie showcase way back when. Plus, we go To The People with listeners chiming on whether Tanner Pearson can help the Canucks; the team's lack of a practice facility; Andrei Kuzmenko's Bali adventure; Tyler Myers' trade watch; the CFL Labour Day weekend; Canada basketball and the unmasking of Piero, the man behind the visitors' bench at Rogers Arena.

Matt and Blake pay tribute to fans with one familiar face and one familiar voice joining a special S&P Presents Labour Day edition.Piero Manetta has been sitting behind the Canucks bench at Rogers Arena for two decades. Fans have long speculated about who he is, what he does, and why he looked right at home with guys like Odjick and Rypien. Hear Piero tell his own journey to Canucks' fame, how he gets stopped around town, and how he's become part of an ever-changing culture in Canucks club seats.Jugpreet Bajwa was once a regular caller on Blake's post-game show. Juggy from Delta had strong feelings about the games -- despite not seeing them -- and now invokes strong feelings at Rogers Arena with his inimitable renditions of O Canada.

Matt and Jeff discuss the future of Tanner Pearson now that he's back skating -- and golfing! -- which seems like great news for that an injured hand. Can he help the Canucks? Is he a Tocchet-type player? Where does he fit in the lineup? Does he need to start in the American Hockey League? Plus, it was this Friday last year when the Canucks signed JT Miller to a seven-year extension. Who should be his wingers and how will he live up to the pressure of performing as an $8 million man?John Shannon stops by to tell us 1/3 the league have their personnel set, so a Tyler Myers trade might be tricky. John talks about how the trend now is to have a "leadership group" and not necessarily a captain. He also speaks to the Rick Tocchet affect on the club, and the lack of a practice facility.Plus, Matt faces off against Jeff in another episode of S vs P.
