Sept 22, 2025: Pre-season reviews! Cootes, Mancini impress
A huge weekend of sports as the Canucks open up their preseason and the Whitecaps, Lions and Seahawks all look dominant! Matt and Blake tackle some of the early performers for the Canucks, including two youngsters, in Braeden Cootes and Victor Mancini. The guys get into the roster machinations and how those 2 players alone could change the equation for opening night. Harman Dayal of the The Athletic stops by to discuss who has stepped forward, and who has stepped back, in these early days of Canucks camp and pre-season. Harm looks at Cootes and Mancini, but also the improved skating of Linus Karlsson and his chances of making the team. Then it's RinkWide's Jeff Paterson with a look at Thatcher Demko's comfort level in the crease, Jonathan Lekkerimäki's quiet opening weekend, and the reasonable expectations on Räty and Sherwood's seasons. The guys wrap the show with a look at those other local victories from the shorthanded Whitecaps to the offensioves explosions on the gridiron for the Lions and Seahawks. Plus, the CFL is making huge rule and field changes and the Canadian women are the darlings of the Rugby World Cup as they get set for Saturday's final!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!

Sept 19, 2025: Live from Day 2 at Canucks camp! Surprises yet?
Day 2 of Canucks Camp, with Matt and Blake live from Yellow Dog Brewing in Penticton, and going over all the news of the moment. The guys listen in on the latest comments from Elias Pettersson, as he looks to bounce back from last season, plus Demko and Adam Foote as well. RinkWide's Jeff Paterson joins the show, rinkside at the SOEC, discussing what he's seen so far, which includes a pretty conservative approach to drills mixed with a lot of positive vibes. Jeff looks at the interesting assignments for D-Petey so far, the possibility of Boeser on the PK, and the height of his own bar in the assesment of EP40. The Daily Hive's Rob Williams joins the guys at Yellow Dog Penticton, talking about his first visit to a Canucks event there. He also gets into the early reviews of Foote at the helm, plus EP40's form and when to trust that he's back. The guys wrap up with a look at the Whitecaps improving health ahead of Saturday, the Lions' decreasing health ahead of tonight, and the Jays and Mariners looking ahead to big weekends in search of division titles.Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!

Sept 18, 2025: We're going Camping! 1st look at Canucks combos
And so it begins! The big group of Canucks hits the ice in Penticton as training camp starts up and Matt and Blake have you covered. With guests Patrick Johnston of Postmedia and Canucksarmy's David Quadrelli, the guys have wall to wall coverage of Day 1. They comb through the various line combinations, who has the leg up (based on assignment), and all the post session analysis. Who is the best bet for the 3rd line and the 3rd defensive pairing?! They also get into the comments of Thatcher Demko after a quiet summer in the wake of his contract extension. Matt and Blake also get a visit from new PWHL Vancouver star Sarah Nurse as she counts down to her own training camp in November. Nurse talks about the opportunity to have success at the gate this season with a great fanbase, but also on the ice, given the quality of roster that Vancouver has put together. The guys finish up with a look at the Whitecaps promising health report on Blackmon, the CMNT rises in the FIFA rankings, and the Jays and Mariners show they are indeed human.

Sept 17, 2025: JR and Allvin on Hughes, EP40 and the 2C hole
After a pre-season "state of the union" from Jim Rutherford, Patrik Allvin and Adam Foote, the cup runneth over for Matt and Blake on today's show. The guys listen and react to some rather illuminating quotes from the Canucks brass on: the future of Quinn Hughes, the difference in EP40 this season vs last, the search for a second line centre, and the Foote on-ice system. They also ponder Rutherford's admitted conundrum of whether to go all in and sacrifice the future in a gamble to improve and lure Hughes into his next contract. TSN's Frank Corrado jumps in to talk about the meaningfulness, or lack thereof, for both prospects camp and main camp. Frankie also talks about the defence corps and whether Elias Pettersson (D) can earn a spot on the right side rather than left. Then it's The Sheet's Jeff Marek, as he compares the various soap operas around the NHL from Crosby and Kaprizov to McDavid and Hughes. Jeff also talks about the latest reports and rumours on Hughes' future, and how the Canucks should handle the next 2 years, and he weighs in on the Rangers decision to crown JT Miller as captain.. All that, plus a recap of another wild win for the Whitecaps albeit with a key injury. Plus, the Jays and Mariners stay red hot, and the BC Lions prepare for their biggest game of the season.Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
