Your weekend setup is here from Matt and Blake! They guys jump into the Canucks media story as reports surface of a possible FM destination for Canucks games this season. This evolves into a discussion on the possibility of sports radio returning as well. They also take a look at Canucks comeback player options and who is most likely to find their game again. Plus, should the Canucks help out the Ducks with their salary cap issues?! TSN's Frank Corrado stops by to talk about whether the players today have any sports media habits and if he was ever sports radio listener. Frank talks about the poll question and which Canucks he thinks could truly bounce back. Frank also chats about the make or break year for Mancini and the situational pickle the the Ducks find themselves in with Cutter Gauthier. Then it's former BC Lions QB Travis Lulay joining the guys to discuss his induction onto the Lions Wall of Fame. Travis shares some of his favourite moments, his path to the CFL, and what he thinks of a Canadian QB in charge now in Nathan Rourke. The guys wrap up the show with a breakdown of the Whitecaps midweek stumble vs Houston, a Sedin is back playing in Vancouver, the Lions get set for the Riders this weekend, and the full baseball story as the Jays and C's have hope but the Mariners are at rock bottom. Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
