June 18, 2026: Canada vs Qatar preview! Canucks deals to come? Babcock on the brink

Matchday 2 for Canada and Matt and Blake help count you down to game time vs Qatar! The boys are ready for history to be made but are the lads in red also ready? The guys get into the roster decisions ahead for Jesse Marsch on David, Davies, Larin and Bombito, plus, is the coach's call to action for the fans too much? Matt and Blake also address the continuing business in the NHL, which includes the green light for the Oilers to hire Mike Babcock and the various trade rumours that keep popping up. TSN's Frank Corrado stops by to give us his reaction to the Babcock news, saying he can't wait to see how Edmonton faces adversity. Frank also weighs on the trades that are being rumoured and whether Mason McTavish is a fit for the Canucks in a trade. Then Corrado makes a decision on Stenberg vs Malhotra, if it's available for the Canucks. The Prospect Don, Anthony Donati, makes his debut on S & P and compares his top 3 ranked prospects vs the top 3 in his mock draft. Anthony talks about the rise of Malhotra and whether it's dependable data, plus, a secret player or two that he's been fascinated by in the first or second round, and he tells us the separating elements of the top 3 defencemen in the draft. The guys finish up with a look at the recent results in the World Cup and the troubling performance by Cristiano Ronaldo. The BC Lions are deep into injury trouble, the Jays might be on a roll, and the C's drop a close one!
