Nathan Rourke: Rourke recaps a season that was full of ups and downs, and how to deal with 'load management'

Two in a row?? The Canucks are in San Jose looking to go back to back, so Matt and Blake have you covered with the expected lineup and changes from last time out. Does the continued absence of Schenn and Gallagher mean the veterans were the wrong choices in the offseason? The guys also debate whether we might ever see Celebrini and/or Bedard in a Canucks jersey someday. They also take a look ahead to this weekend's enemy fan invasion as the Leafs, Riders and Sounders all come to town with their loyal fans in tow. Then it's former Canuck Frank Corrado from TSN with his take on the Hughes reception this past weekend and how it might even get bigger in his next visit given the status of contract negotiations in Minnesota. He tackles Dylan Larkin's next steps in the showdown in Hockeytown as well, including Matt's illuminati-like theory of the USA stars conspiring together. Frank also gives us his impressions of Jonathan Lekkerimäki's start to the season and where the ceiling could be for the young Canuck. Matt and Blake finish up with a recap of the Whitecaps big win at home over San Diego, the BC Lions still aren't getting much healthier, and the Brewers have won the World Series in front of home fans in Tampa?!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: | http://www.bet365.ca/BCLIQUOR: https://www.bcliquorstores.com/Movember: https://movember.com/Shop the Daily Faceoff Team Collection now at nationgear.ca.

It was a win for the ages! Ok, maybe not, but it was a pretty fun night of Canucks hockey! Matt and Blake break down the unlikely night that was in Anaheim and what it might do for the Canucks lowly spirits of late. They look at a possible breakthrough performance from Jonathan Lekkerimäki, the Elias Pettersson train keeps chugging along, and the young defencemen are finding their games too.. The guys listen in on the Canucks post game comments and look ahead to the rest of the week vs San Jose and Toronto. Patrick Johnston of Postmedia stops by to give us his thoughts on the win and what it might tell us about the young sniper in Lekkerimäki. PJ looks at the similarities of the Canucks wins and takes on whether shot totals can go up more regularly for the team that is last in the NHL in that category. Then it's The Daily Hive's Rob Williams, who predicted the Canucks win, with his thoughts on Lekk's future star status with the fanbase and whether any other young players can help save the narrative this season. The guys also look back at the reception for Quinn Hughes and wonder what will change when he's back in a couple of weeks. Matt and Blake finish up with a preview of the Whitecaps match tonight, the BC Lions are battling injuries ahead of the West semi, and the Seahawks' rival just made a big trade too!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: | http://www.bet365.ca/BCLIQUOR: https://www.bcliquorstores.com/Movember: https://movember.com/Shop the Daily Faceoff Team Collection now at nationgear.ca.

Matt and guest co-host Jamie Dodd crossover with Donnie and Dhali discussing Quinn Hughes' return to Vancouver and the standing ovation (?), Manny Malhotra's early days as an NHL head coach, and the contributions (or lack thereof) of some veteran would-be culture carriers. The guys also talk about the Canucks already approaching some dubious club and NHL records, Malhotra juggling lines as much as he has, whether Jacob Quillan deserves a call-up and the healthy scratchings of Paul Cotter and Jamie Oleksiak.Cam Robinson joins to talk his biggest concern so far this Canucks season, Manny's role in all the losing, the players acquired in the Aatu Räty trade with Toronto, Caleb Malhotra's season at Boston U, a top 2027 draft prospect and Langley's Liam Pue, who at 16 is already dominating the WHL.The guys talk big week for the B.C. Lions with their home playoff game, a significant trade by the Seattle Seahawks, the return of Thomas Muller for two big Whitecaps home games this season, and the upgrades to Nat Bailey Stadium for a minor league season that will happen in 2027, even if there's a MLB labour disruption.Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: | http://www.bet365.ca/BCLIQUOR: https://www.bcliquorstores.com/Movember: https://movember.com/[This collaboration is part of an advertising campaign led by the Podpass agency for Blizzard]Explore the Canvas collection: https://bit.ly/blizzard-seekersandpricehttps://www.instagram.com/blizzard_tecnicahttps://x.com/Blizzardskihttps://www.facebook.com/blizzardtecnicahttps://www.instagram.com/blizzard_tecnicaShop the Daily Faceoff Team Collection now at nationgear.ca.IG: https://www.instagram.com/podpass.ca/https://www.facebook.com/SekeresandPricehttps://www.tiktok.com/@sekeresandpricehttps://www.youtube.com/sekerespricehttps://www.instagram.com/sekeresandprice Hosted on Acast.
