Oct 15, 2025: Canucks boot Cootes, depart for 5 games
 Well it was fun while it lasted, but Braeden Cootes gets sent to the WHL by the Canucks, meaning Matt and Blake have lots to discuss in the aftermath. The guys debate whether there is any regret about the decision to keep the youngster, and what this means to the Canucks centre ice position in the short and long term. Are the Canucks officially desperate to get a new centre, or will the eventual return of Blueger be enough for now? The guys also look at the road trip ahead, the goaltending usage, and JT Miller's comments after running into some early issues with his Rangers. TSN's Frank Corrado is back to discuss the demotion of Cootes and what may lie ahead for the prospect, both this year and next. Frank also talks about the best lineup combination to get EP40 going, and the 2nd line centre urgency for the team. He also has thoughts on the strength of the Pacific division, and a surprise team that may battle the Canucks for a playoff position. The Daily Hive's Rob WIlliams stops by to discuss his view of the Pettersson criticisms and his Pius Suter regret at the centre ice position. Rob also talks about the initial Adam Foote decisions that have fallen flat, and also former coach Rick Tocchet's interesting comments about his relationship with the Vancouver media. Then the guys wrap up the show with a preview of the Jays and Mariners in game 3, the Whitecaps and Lions get set for massive home games this weekend, and on the pitch, the Canadian men get a draw vs Colombia!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
