Jan 8, 2026: EP40's injury, DeBrusk's future, Sherwood's market

The Canucks are back at it on the road vs the Wings but Matt and Blake know the other stories around this team are just bigger! The guys react as EP40 is talking openly about playing through injury and they debate the real possibility of a Jake DeBrusk trade. PostMedia's Patrick Johnston makes his weekly appearance and talks about the almost annual death spiral that has begun extra early this season. He gives his choice of reasons for fans to still pay attention and whether EP40's season is one of them. He also weighs in on which veterans want to stick it out for the rebuild/reload/retool. Matt and Blake finish up with a look at the wild Tristan Blackmon trade rumours around the Whitecaps and how the team went to extremes to quash them. Also, the BC Lions get a terrible report card from the players, they lose a key player to the NFL, and another NFL coach is fired!
