It might be the start of June but the Canucks are still making news, so lots for the guys to talk about. The team announced changes to their coaching staff today, so Matt and Blake discuss what that means to Rick Tocchet’s bench, and maybe the PP as well. Plus, their reaction to reports of Ian Cole moving on, and the poll question on whether the Canucks should overpay to get any of their free agents locked up. Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravallli stops by to reveal he doesn’t think the Canucks will likely win the Martin Necas sweepstakes (but adds that Brett Pesce will get to July 1), plus his latest temperature check on the Flip Hronek negotiations, and the future of Boeser and Garland on the Canucks' wings. Then TSN’s Farhan Lalji stops by with his view on the Luke Gazdic incident, and a look ahead to the BC Lions season overall, not to mention their well-attended home opener.

The Oilers-Canucks rivalry seems to be growing, long after the series has ended, as Matt and Blake react to a scathing rant by HNIC analyst Luke Gazdic. The guys get into the role of national media versus regional, and what fans look for in their hockey coverage. Also, they guys kick around the Martin Necas rumours, and how the Canucks stack up vs the teams that are supposedly involved. Just by chance, it happened to be the usual day for longtime HNIC executive producer John Shannon to join the show, and he gets into what the expectations are for guys like Gazdic, how he guided former coaches and players in those roles, and how he sees the role today. The guys also talk about the Stanley Cup matchup as well, and how it might play out. All that, plus an update on the Lions' season opener on the road this weekend, and a whole lot more!
