It’s a day that’s far too familiar in Vancouver, it’s the day after the Canucks are mathematically eliminated from the postseason, so we do our best to unpack yet another unsuccessful season.

The Welcome Matt wonders how Travis Green survives to coach another season in Vancouver, as the lame duck head coach showed his cards today, stating that Jim Benning wants him back, but wonders if ownership feels the same way

Whitecaps FC gaffer Marc Dos Santos follows and gives his thoughts on the ‘Caps solid start to the season, the emergence of Cristian Dajome and what’s happening with the clubs search for a number 10 midfielder. 

JD Burke from Elite Prospects follows MDS, and breaks down the top talent in the upcoming NHL Entry Draft. JD shoots down Luke Hughes (brother of Quinn) being a good fit for the Canucks, and gives his analysis on the season that Canucks rookie Nils Hoglander has had. 

The Price is Right takes a look at Jim Benning’s tenure as the Canucks general manager, and wonders how a GM with such a blemished resume continues to hold his job. 

Jeff Paterson follows and begins by breaking down Travis Green’s comments from today, where the Canucks head coach sent a shot across the bow towards ownership, putting the ball in their court when it comes to his contract extension. J Pat wonders if Green is hesitating to play the kids because he is likely not going to be around to see them develop. 

Another edition of Hot Take on a Tuesday follows J Pat, and we cap of the show with all the Errors and Omissions.
