Oct 30, 2025: Canucks singing Blues? Foote loads 1st line, Hughes back soon?

As the Canucks hit the road again, the injuries remain an issue, so Matt and Blake walk you through the makeshift lineup for the Canucks and Adam Foote's strategy against the struggling Blues. The guys debate loading up the first line, the goaltending decision, and which player might be able to step up and add offence right now. They also look at the off season decision to let Pius Suter sign elsewhere and sign Evander Kane, and whether there's any likely regret. Postmedia's Patrick Johnston stops by to discuss unenviable position of the Canucks and what the level of urgency is, given that it's still October. PJ talks about the return timelines for Hughes and Chytil, and whether Reichel is a viable option as a centre. Then it's BC Lions owner Amar Doman dropping in to chat about the fabulous second half to the season for the team. Doman goes over the plans for the Western Semifinal at BC Place, but also for next season's games in Kelowna, and the possibility for a new stadium and practice facility. He also weighs in on the new CFL rule changes and the chances of CFL expansion. All that, plus a full breakdown on the Jays huge win in game 5 and the performances of former Vancouver Canadians Yesavage and Schneider. Plus, the Lions and Whitecaps continue to battle injuries before their weekend playoff games.
