September 8 2023 - John Shannon & Gregg Bell

Matt and Blake discuss the signs pointing to Quinn Hughes as the Canucks next captain, the shredded shape and stakes at hand for new defenceman Filip Hronek, and Jonathan Lekkerimäki continuing his fine play in Sweden. Other topics include: whether the captaincy matters on SvP, Canada losing to Serbia but playing the USA for a medal at the FIBA World Cup, the unlikelihood of a repeat wild card series between the Jays and Mariners, and the Detroit Lions' stunning victory over Kansas City in the NFL opener. John Shannon stops by to talk about Hughes as captain and the move towards leadership groups, the season at-hand for Hronek and how he should be motivated, whether Tanner Pearson can be counted on coming back from injury, plus the future of 2018 Canadians world junior hockey players amid police and league investigations, as well as when the former Chicago Blackhawks duo of Joel Quenneville and Stan Bowman could be reinstated. Gregg Bell previews the Seahawks season from Geno Smith's chances of an encore, a superior group of skill position players, another wondrous secondary, the return of Bobby Wagner and Jarran Reed, and still concerns about the line of scrimmage and their physicality vis-a-vis San Francisco. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.
