Oct 5, 2026: So far, so good?? Canucks and EP40 impress

The first weekend of the NHL season is in the books and the Canucks are giving Matt and Blake lots to talk about! The guys recap the pair of games and the notable performances in both directions, from EP40's great start to Cotter's award winning week to the better defensive/goaltending in both games. The guys listen in on the player reaction after the Sunday game and look ahead to the big eastern road trip. Also, the guys take a peek around the Canucks landscape and the exploits of the picks and prospects in Abbotsford and beyond! RinkWide's Jeff Paterson joins to give us his take on what he saw, and his answer on whether EP40 is officially back. He also gets into the report cards for the team's younger players, how the goaltending rebounded over the weekend, and the Canucks attendance woes through 3 home games so far. Then it's the BC Lions' hero from the weekend, kicker Sean Whyte, who provided all the points vs the Argos. He talks about the historic victory, the possible extinction of these kinds of games when the goal posts move, and the Lions momentum towards a home playoff date at BC Place. Matt and Blake finish up with the NFL headlines, including another Seahawks win. Plus, the Whitecaps get set for a possible Bayern showdown vs Chicago, the shorthanded Canadian men prep for the Americans, and the entire MLB playoff story
