Oct. 9, 2025: Drop the puck! Canucks vs Flames, as the kids get tested
Time to start the season! Matt and Blake count you down to the season opener as the Canucks get set to host the Flames. They take a look at any possible lineup changes ahead of puck drop, the status of the Flames, and the guys give their predictions for the season to come. Patrick Johnston of Postmedia stops by to debate the merits of Cootes and Lekkerimaki playing alongside Kane. PJ also gets into the risks, and possible rewards, of Bains on the 2nd line. Plus, he talks about the lack of experience on the PK and the pressure of the bounce back season on Demko and EP40. Then it's Harman Dayal of The Athletic and Canucks Conversation, going deep on the potential and parameters around Braeden Cootes' assignment tonight. Harm gets into the realistic predictions on the team, and whether goal scoring can meet the minimum requirement, and whether Jack Roslovic should have been an answer for them after he signs with the Oilers instead. The guys wrap up the show with a look back the Jays getting past the Yankees into the ALCS, the Mariners coming home to try and do the same, and the soccer story for the rehabilitating Whitecaps and the Canadian men.

Oct 8, 2025: Merry season eve! Canucks work on PP, Silovs beats JT
One more day of practice for the Canucks before the season begins, one more day for Matt and Blake to dig in on the lineup and how it stacks up against the division foes. The guys look at the powerplay, which was a focus at practice, and how it compares to last season. They also debate which non-core player holds the biggest key to success for the Canucks this season, and whether Arturs Silovs will be a regrettable departure after his season opening shutout over JT Miller's Rangers. Then it's RinkWide's Irfaan Gaffar with his review on the Canucks work in the off season and the question marks that surround the squad. Irf gives his answer to the Canucks biggest wild card, and where the Canucks will finish the season, which is much different prediction than most! Then it's Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects with a deep dive on the Canucks centres, especially those behind EP40. Cam gets into his expectations of Cootes, Räty and Chytil over the first few weeks, and what he expects the Canucks do with that group as the season progresses. All that and more, including a mix of results for the Jays and Mariners, and the Whitecaps and Lions get ready to scoreboard watch!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
