It’s Three Games Plus Last Year
Jamie and Josh unpack the Canucks’ troubling 5-2 loss to the Blues and the avalanche of concerns just three games into the season. Shayna Goldman joins to assess whether the Canucks’ issues run deeper than execution, and how Vancouver compares to the chaos in Buffalo, where Lindy Ruff and Kevyn Adams face their own reckoning. With no lineup changes and desperation trades unlikely, the Canucks’ five-game road trip already feels like a make-or-break stretch for a team that’s struggling to find its identity.
