After an absolutely wild home opener for the Canucks, Matt and Blake tackle all the talking points after this crazy start to the season. The guys bring you all the post game comments from the coach and players, give you all the relevant data, and debate the performances they've seen so far. From the defensive lapses to the inconsistent goaltending to the surprise offensive contribuitions, there's plenty to chew on after this week! RinkWide's Jeff Paterson stops by to give us his take on the proceedings and where changes may occur ahead of game 3 vs the Flames. JPat talks about the play of EP40, the young defensemen, and the brief look we had on the new goale in Leevi Meriläinen. Then it's The Sheet's Jeff Marek, who was early on the Adam Novotný train, and revels in his latest goal for the Petes. Marek also talks about the sample size needed to declare an EP40 "comeback", plus, he jumps in on Jack Hughes' recent behaviour, another nutty second contract is handed out in Anaheim, and the is Simon Edvinsson getting an offer sheet? Matt and Blake finish up with the latest on the Seahawks and Lions' prep for their games this weekend. Also, Thomas Müller is in some literally rarified air in Vancouver and the Whitecaps are back training ahead of their busy month!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!

As the Canucks look to make it two straight, Matt and Blake get you all ready for the home opener vs the Oilers! The guys look at the lineups on both sides, the chances of the Canucks doing it again, and whether the fans will be cheering on another win or merely a good performance. They also listen in on the players' expectations of themselves after the gameday skate. Postmedia's Patrick Johnston joins the show from the rink to give us the very latest and talk about the narrow path to a better home game experience but the 1st overall pick as well. PJ gets into the possible lineup machinations in the early part of the season, goaltending deployment, and the coach's early season to-do list. Then, it's another visit from the new boy wonder of DFO Vancouver, in Elijah Ford. He talks about his last couple of articles posted at DFO on the upper end possibilities of the Canucks season and Brock Boeser's potential role in the rebuild. Elijah also weighs in on the performance from opening night and what he expects to see this evening at Rogers Arena. Matt and Blake finish up with an update on the Lions and their health going into the showdown with the Argos, plus, the Whitecaps start to gear up for a long month on the road, and the MLB playoffs are almost ready for the Divisional round!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!

Well that was something?! Matt and Blake have no shortage of topics after a thrilling rollercoaster ride with the Canucks last night in Edmonton. The guys get into the surprising contributions of Cotter and Sasson, plus the promise shown by guys like EP40 and Lekkerimäki. They debate the possibility of these games happening again this season, and whether the good vibes in the dressing room are real or merely customary early season rhetoric. TSN's Frank Corrado stops by with his review of what happened vs the Oilers, including the netminding performances at both ends. Frank talks about what he's seen previously from Cotter, plus, Frank's experience watching new goalie Leevi Meriläinen during his time with the Sens. The Daily Hive's Rob Williams drops by with his take on fan reaction to an early, impressive win and whether anyone thinks changes the direction of the team just yet. Rob talks about the rather large group of alternate captains that the Canucks have chosen for the season and the team's overall "likeability". Matt and Blake finish up with the latest on the Whitecaps' new deal with BC Place, the BC Lions celebrate their longest serving executive, and the Blue Jays promise to be great next seasonThank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
