As the Canucks try to at least "look" better vs the Ducks tonight, Matt and Blake wonder if the Canucks players are getting any sympathy for the manner and quantity of losses. The guys look at recent comments from players and the vacant captaincy as key indicators of the discontent. They also debate The Athletic's ranking of Rogers Arena and whether it deserves its spot on the list. Plus, there is plenty more trade buzz as well but from a bunch of new sellers around the NHL and the guys look at who might win the battle to make changes next. DFO Insider David Pagnotta stops by to give us his latest scoops regarding the Canucks roster and any possible moves but also a peek at the Flames and Rangers and anyone else who might be competing to sell off. Then it's Postmedia's Patrick Johnston with a look at the state of the Canucks, the need for a new captain, the possibility of a coaching change, and the condition of Rogers Arena. The guys wrap up the show with more Belichick/HOF fallout, the Lions have another signing, the Whitecaps are still in the hunt for talent and the Aussie Open open soap operas might be better than the tennis!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!

The latest Canucks loss hit different, so Matt and Blake are ready to look a little more closely at what's happening on the ice and the depths the Canucks are now finding themselves. The guys debate the risks of being this bad, even in a tank situation, and they look further into the state of goaltending and how the Canucks might deploy them for the rest of the season. Also, they wonder about Adam Foote's status in the organization. TSN's Frank Corrado stops by to give his take on the toll of losing like they did vs the Sharks. Frank looks at the state of the goaltending this season and beyond with the news on Demko. He also weighs in on the availaibility of Shane Wright and what he could ultimately be, plus are the Leafs about to join the Canucks in tank country? The Daily Hive's Rob Williams is back, and he's got thoughts on the Canucks fans reaction to the rebuild early on, plus, he gets into the moves the team has made so far and is poised to make going forward. The final segment is dedicated to the various "football" stories: Rourke re-signs with Lions, Belichick's soap opera with Canton, and Whitecaps captain Ryan Gauld is out again!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
