September 19 2023 - Patrick Johnston & Wally Buono

Matt and Blake discuss the report of the Canucks aggressively pursuing a trade in order to be cap-compliant for opening night. Do you trust Rutherdford/Allvin's cap management? Which players could possibly be moved out to create room? Will they submit a roster short of the 23-player limit? Other topics include the Canucks broadcast release and the hiring of Dave Tomlinson and Ray Ferraro as TV analysts; training camp storylines to watch for; the Caps big game Wednesday vs Houston and how they'll manage the lineup with a busy stretch of road games; and the Lions emerging from their all-time comeback victory over Ottawa, heading into Edmonton.

Patrick Johnston joins to tell us about what he saw at the Jake Milford golf tournament that annually kicks off Canucks season. Patrick discusses Ilya Mikheyev, J.T. Miller, young players who could feature in the NHL this season, trade possibilities to get cap-compliant, and the new broadcast duo.

Wally Buono joins to promote a Make-A-Wish Canada auction this week. The winning bidder gets to watch the Lions-Roughriders game in the stands with the former Lions coach/GM. Wally has never watched a game from the stands, only from the executive box and the sidelines, and tells us what this lucky winner has in store.
