Tsn 1040: Sekeres & Price

As the Canucks come home to face the Kings, and fresh off a drubbing in Winnipeg, Matt and Blake take a look at what's at stake for the team tonight. Is it a bounce back or the beginning of a spiral downward? They look at the new lines, the comments of JT Miller and Rick Tocchet after the morning skate, and what they expect as many call for a physical game. They also pose the question, will Tocchet be back next season whethere it's his decision or the club's? Patrick Johnston of Postmedia also weighs in on the coach's near future, and whether the coach may know the intentions of management regarding Miller and Pettersson. PJ also talks about the possibility of a practice facility and Erik Brannstrom's AHL prowess. Then It's Rob Williams from The Daily Hive with his opinion of Tocchet's approval rating, his pick for the fans' biggest scapegoat right now, and the likelihood of a Brock Boeser trade. All that, plus the BC Lions learn their schedule, and the Whitecaps are close to an intruguing new signing.

The Canucks laid an egg in the 'Peg, so Matt and Blake have plenty to chat about today, from the rare bad outing for Lankinen to an assumiming return for Hronek to another no-show from Miller and Pettersson. The guys check on the vibes in the fanbase as the Canucks continue to confound everyone with their play, and ask aloud if people have confidence that the playoffs are a certainty. Laurence Gilman makes his weekly visit to talk about the leadership on the team and how his Canucks management team allowed the Sedins to take over. Gilman also chats about his patience level at this time of year, and when his gut has ever told him that a season had gone awry. Then it's TSN's Frank Corrado on what he saw last night in Winnipeg, and what has gone so wrong with Rick Tocchet's gameplanning this season. Frank also talks about the issue of speed in the game, and how some of the summer decisions have led the Canucks here.

The Canucks close out the road trip in Winnipeg with a lot of news heading in! Matt and Blake chat about the reunification of Hughes and Hronek tonight, and Kevin Lankinen getting his second straight start opposite Connor Hellebuyck.

Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects stops by to discuss the X's and O's of what he expects with Hronek's return and also looks ahead to the sceond half of the season for Lekkerimäki and prospect Sawyer Mynio.

Coming off one of the better wins of the season, Matt and Blake review the Canucks' weekend and look ahead as they try to get some momentum this week. The guys look at the possible return of Filip Hronek, as he rejoins the team at practice, and what that will mean to an offence that is struggling. Also, after another masterpiece, do the Canucks have to re-sign Kevin Lankinen? RinkWide's Jeff Paterson makes his regular Monday appearance to deal with the news of the day, and adds in who he thinks might have earned the 6th and final spot on D. Jeff also gives his thoughts on the division of labour in goal, given both of their performances of late. Then it's TSN's Darren Dreger on the return of Hronek, any additional defensive moves for the Canucks, and he gets deep on what a contract for Lankinen might actually need to be. Plus, is a JT Miller trade to Nashville or Boston at all realistic? All that, plus Abbotsford's Nick Taylor gets another dramatic PGA win, the Whitecaps finally seem to have their new head coa

With 2 OTL's to start this massive road trip, Matt and Blake preview the back to back games this weekend and the importance of these two games to the rest of the season. Will the return of Demko and Pettersson change the trajectory of the team or further underline that change is needed? They get into the lineup vs the Canes and the chance to take advantage of a tired team. Plus they explore whether this team is really overachieving or underachieving this season. Then it's Jeff Marek from The Sheet with a deep dive on everything around the Canucks, including his thoughts on the trade market around the Canucks and in general, the pros and cons of making a big deal at this point in the season, and whether a Boeser deal comes as well or they let him finish the season without an extension. Lots to discuss, plus some Lions, Whitecaps and NFL news as well!

Another day, another OTL for the Canucks. Matt and Blake take a look at rather unique one in D.C. and what to expect on a busy weekend in Carolina and Toronto. The returns of Demko and Elias Pettersson are imminent, and yet as the guys listen to the comments of both Hughes and Tocchet, there seems to be a growing frustration on the team. RinkWide Vancouver's Jeff Paterson stops by dive even deeper on those topics plus: OT strategy, the wisdom of spending assets to add to this team, and the physical responses to a pair of questionable hits last night. Rob Williams of The Daily Hive then jumps in to give his hot take on the Canucks play in OT. He also chimes in on whether this is a lost season already, and on the fabulous PWHL game in Vancouver. All that, plus there's a new name in the rumour mill for the Whitecaps coaching gig, and the last Lions head coach has found a new/old spot for this season.

Matt and Blake take you through a Canucks gameday as they get set to face Ovechkin and the Capitals, but plenty of Canucks news as well, as Pettersson and Demko return to full health, and Filip Hronek gets assigned to an AHL conditioning stint. The guys get into the expectations for the team when they get to full health, and whether it buys them any time on the trade market. The guys got a surprise guest on the show today, as former Canucks President and GM Mike Gillis literally banged on the window and came in for a chat. Gillis explained what it's like to deal with internal drama on a team, and where he may be inclined to lean in a Pettersson or Miller trade. Then, it's another fabulous visit from TSN's Frank Corrado on today's show as well. A wide ranging chat after 2 weeks away, and Frank weighs in on everything from how good the Canucks can be when healthy, to how Tocchet has dealt with the team of late, and of course his thoughts on if a deal should or will happen for one of Pettersson or Miller.
