July 30, 2026: Canucks Practice Facility is... here? Celebrini sets new bar

The Canucks finally grab some headlines with news on a practice facility but is it really news? Matt and Blake take a look at the news release and if it really signals the chance for the 32nd and final practice facility in the NHL. The guys also look at all the noise around the MLB bid in Vancouver and whether it's viable and time to be taking it seriously. Harman Dayal joins from The Athletic with a further breakdown on what he's seeing with EP40 and whether there is a solution to make him more productive or at least a better asset for trade. He also talks about the value of a practice facility for the Canucks and his review of the lower cost hires around the organization. Then it's The Sheet's Jeff Marek stopping by to discuss his latest viral moment and his reaction to the dream of a Bedard-Celebrini reunion as Canucks someday. He also talks about Cootes and Malhotra's chances to be 1-2 centres at the World Juniors, and the change to NHL games streaming in the playoffs. Matt and Blake finish up with more on a possible BC Place takeover by the local teams, plus, the Whitecaps sign a player and prepare for a huge one vs LAFC. The BC Lions need a win in Winnipeg, and the Jays are about to make a bunch of trades!
