The playoffs are in full swing elsewhere and still lots of news for Matt and Blake to chew on, as former Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet is back on tv with TNT, prompting speculation about his future, and what he might say. The guys kick around the coaching news at large, and some growing theories on who the Canucks might target as a second line centre as well. Plus, the Abby Canucks will get Lekkerimaki back in the lineup for game 3 of their series tonight in the valley. Former Canuck Frank Corrado stops by with some more reaction to Tocchet's return to the spotlight, and where he might land. Plus, Frank breaks down what he's seen in the playoffs so far, and gives an estimate on how far away the Canucks might be to getting there. Former Canucks exec Laurance Gilman is back as well, explaining the appropriate amount of feedback the Canucks should receive from Quinn Hughes regarding the next head coach. Laurence also weighs the pros and cons of an offer sheet to get the Canucks next centre. Then it's former Canucks agitator Matt Cooke, on his way to Vancouver, to chat about his penchant for last second playoff goals, on the Canucks tumultuous season, and his recent interaction with Tocchet. All that, plus BC Lions training camp nears, and an update with the C's on the road.@bet365: It's never ordinary!

May 6, 2025: Canucks get the 15th pick, Coaching experience: yay or nay??!
The NHL Draft lottery continues its annual tradition of denying the Vancouver Canucks so Matt and Blake are back into the routine of analyzing what to do with the pick they have, 15th overall in this case. The guys go over the "keep" and "trade" scenarios, and wonder if the much needed 2nd line centre will just require the departure of the pick. The guys also update the coaching search rumblings, and take a peek at Abby Canucks practice as they get set for game 3 at home tomorrow. Then it's RinkWide's Jeff Paterson with his review of the coaching candidates, including the possibility of bringing back Adam Foote who has a very limited resume. JPat wonders about the budgetary constraints and the need for familiarity from this management group, plus he gets into the draft lottery and the debate of stocking the cupboard vs getting a centre. Elite Prospects' Cam Robinson drops by as well, giving a final scouting report on the U18 Worlds and if anybody there would be a good fit for the Canucks at #15. Cam also has news on the Tom Willander negotiations with the Canucks, which may change what they dangle in front of a team for that 2nd line centre. Cam also gets into his latest thoughts on the next coach. All that, plus the Golf Report, the Whitecaps getting midweek honours, and the C's getting another top prospect?@bet365: It's never ordinary!
