June 23, 2026: Big week underway but Canucks Nation is waiting; final CMNT preps before SUI!
The finger tapping has begun in Vancouver as the draft quickly approaches on Friday! Matt and Blake dive into the quiet abyss that is the Canucks right now, amidst the chaos that is the rest of the NHL. The guys debate whether the Canucks can pull off any additional magic, beyond their scheduled picks this weekend, and whether their minds have been made up on the choice at number 3. TSN's Craig Button joins the guys to talk about the Canucks' uncertainty because of the Sharks pick ahead of them and how the remote style draft affects the dealings for Vancouver. Craig gives his final take on Stenberg's likely landing spot but he's open to a big surprise. Craig also talks about Viggo Björck's late rise in the rankings and his ability to play centre, pus, the maneuvering at foot to acquire the Ruck twins later in the first round. Then it's Transfermarkt's Manuel Veth on the opening 2 weeks of the World Cup and the almost flawless execution to this point. He jumps into the Canadian match vs Switzerland and his sense of whether Davies will play and the likely replacement for Ismaël Koné. Also, Manuel talks about the Swiss style of play and how Canada may, or may not, be able to exploit it. The guys finish up with a recap of the other recent matches around the World Cup. Plus, the full baseball story as the M's and Jays continue to hang around the playoff picture, and the PGA Tour finally announces its massive structural changes that may impact the Canadian Open.
