Dec 18, 2024: Demko starts again in Utah, roster freeze coming

Matt and guest co-host Patrick Johnston of the Province discuss a weekend Airing of the Grievances by the Canucks. The GM, coach and captain all spoke to the rift between Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller, even if the two principles chose denial. The fellas discuss the path forward, what has to give, why it went down this way, and what are the repercussions.Farhan Lalji of TSN joins and calls the whole situation bizarre. He's annoyed at the defiance but says winning will cure all. He says the Canucks are running out of strategies to deal with these two and wonders if these two quintessential opposites can co-exist? He reports the Canucks have been in trade discussions with the Sabres, that Miller has been on Pettersson's case (maybe to do with his rich contract?) and says the time has long passed for a resolution.Rink Wide Vancouver's Jeff Paterson stops by and calls the whole matter exhausting. He says the most telling comment was Quinn Hughes no longer wanting to "beat around the bush" and that maybe the rift had to come to a head for things to improve. He says if they play better they change the discussion, but doubts Miller is over what caused his 10-game absence. He wants to believe the temperature will lower in the new year and doesn't think this will drive Rick Tocchet away at the end of the year.📧 [email protected]📲 778-402-9680Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!

The Canucks approach a crisis as they lose again, and the star forwards are nowhere to be found. Matt and Blake deal with the defeat in Vegas and another road lead squandered, with Pettersson and Miller riding multi game point droughts. RinkWide's Jeff Paterson stops by to give his post game report, and gives his toughts on where this is all leading, whether that's a star player traded or a coach in trouble. Plus, the guys chat about what effect this soap opera might be having on Quinn Hughes. Then it's Jeff Marek of The Sheet on The Nation Network, weighing in on several of the crises league wide, and whether the Canucks would use the holiday freeze to consumate a trade for the new year. Marek talks about the trades the Canucks missed out on this week, and gives out his secret holiday movie recommendation. All that, plus the Whitecaps schedule is released, and it's time to hear from you in another edition of "To the people we go"!📧 [email protected]📲 778-402-9680Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!

Huge show today as the Canucks blow a 2 goal lead in Utah and try to bounce back in Vegas the very next night. Matt and Blake get into the continued separation of Miller and Pettersson on the powerplay, this time with EP40 on the 2nd unit. Plus, the wasted performance of Thatcher Demko, and the possible arrival of last year's version of Dakota Joshua. PostMedia's Patrick Johnston stops in to weigh in on the game and the poll, "Can the Canucks overcome the Pettersson-Miller drama and contend for the Cup this spring?". Plus, PJ looks at Rick Tocchet's changing ways with the media and what it might mean. Then it's Rob Williams of The Daily Hive, who is asked a possible split in the fanbase in Miller vs Pettersson, and where he sees this season is headed. All this and more, including BC Lions coaching and player news as well.📧 [email protected]📲 778-402-9680Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!

Matt and Blake have the latest from the Canucks on the road, as Thatcher Demko gets his 3rd straight start, taking on Utah. The guys get into the wisdom of leaning on him already, even with Lankinen's illness, and what the rest of the lineup may look like after an up and down homestand. And with the roster freeze taking effect on Thursday evening, will the Canucks look different heading into the hoilidays? TSN's Frank Corrado stops by to talk about the Canucks roster as he sees it, and the need, or lack thereof, of improved team chemistry. Plus, is Rick Tocchet being evaluated for how he deals with Miller and Pettersson? Then the Canucks drama gets analyzed from a management persepective as Laurence Gilman stops by to talk about what he's faced in the past, and how he would deal with any perceived split in a room. All that and more, listen in!📧 [email protected]📲 778-402-9680Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
