Oct 15, 2026: Canucks aim for first win of trip, Räty clears waivers

The Canucks try to get their first win of the road trip tonight in Florida, with a new look lineup and the return of Filip Chytil. Matt and Blake listen in on the coach's comments and Chytil's as well, as the team tries to bump the slump. The guys debate the handling of Räty's roster spot, plus, the Merilainen era beginning as the young goaltender gets his first back to back starts for the team. Patrick Johnston of Postmedia stops by to weigh in on whether Räty is still an NHL prospect now and whether "fair" has anything to do with the roster decisions. PJ talks about the importance of speed going forward, the rest of the league's interest in Merilainen, and whether Zeev Buium would benefit from a stint in the AHL. Matt and Blake finish up with a look at the Whitecaps' battle for a single point last night in St Louis, the BC Lions prepare for their playoff fate this weekend, and the Seahawks get the spotlight in the Thursday nighter in the NFL!
