JPat with his daily hit on the Vancouver Canucks. Talked about the coaching shuffle and the odd time it was released. They may scale back on the amount of coaches but these slots will be filled. Brought up the name, John Anderson, as a potential fit on the bench for the Canucks. He is BB’s best friend. Talked about Evander Kane. Has firmly been in the no-camp.
