May 16 2022 - Jeff Paterson & John Shannon

Jeff Paterson, fresh off vacation, joined up to talk about the news in the Canucks. Thinks there needs to be some more work for the Canucks to be compared to a team like the Rangers. Talked about Bruce Boudreau coming back. Doesn’t think he strung the Canucks along, his concerns were justified. He wanted to make sure his mom and the hockey team he owns are all taken care of. Wondered why Bruce wouldn’t have called the Canucks himself and instead left it up to his agent to let them know he was coming back. Talked about the medical staff. Talked about the battle of Alberta.
Our Monday regular, John Shannon, joined us after a weekend of Game 7’s. The 5 game 7’s in hockey compared to the NBA’s is no competition. Says our game is so exciting right now.
