29/07/2025 Duration: 01h42minThe Canucks' silence continues in the wake of the Dakota Joshua trade, so it's the Whitecaps with the big signing instead. Matt and Blake jump into the international headline of Thomas Müller's arrival on Friday, and it sparks a debate on the biggest athletes to play in the city of Vancouver, what this means to the imminent and long term future of the Whitecaps, and whether new fans will show up for a player that is not named Lionel Messi. Patrick Johnston of Postmedia stops by to talk about the Canucks inactivity and if it could extend as far as the regular season. PJ also digs deep into his reporting on the BC Place deal with the Whitecaps, and the future of the stadium and its two main tenants. The Province reporter also shares his thought on the Müller acquisition, its comparables, and whether he makes the Whitecaps a favourite this season. The guys wrap up the show with the latest baseball news as MLB heads towards the trade deadline, plus Genie Bouchard moves on in her swan song!Thank you to our great s

21/07/2025 Duration: 01h40minIn the first full show since the Canucks' trade of Dakota Joshua, Matt and Blake take a look at the move and all the pros and cons of bailing on the new contract after just one year.

RinkWide's Jeff Paterson stops in to provide his reaction to the deal, and where that leaves the Canucks forwards, and the penalty kill, as it currently stands. Jeff also gives us his reaction to the trade of Arturs Silovs and the modest return, and the importance of Canucks goaltending this season, given the apparent lack of scoring. It's also time for another edition of The Golf Report, as Schefffler romps at the Open Championship.

17/07/2025 Duration: 01h33minThe Canucks look better and deeper on defence, but who will get the call on opening night and throughout the season?
