Sekeres & Price Show

After failing again to win two straight at home, the Canucks turn their attention to the draft lottery and so do Matt and Blake. The NHL has set the date for the lottery and with the best odds almost guaranteed, the boys get into what it would mean for the Canucks to finally pick first overall and debate where that moment would rank in franchise history. Rinkwide's Jeff Paterson joins in on that discussion as well and also recaps the night that was for the Canucks vs the Lightning. Jeff talks about the many that struggled but also a couple of a bright spots in Marco Rossi and Linus Karlsson. Then it's The Sheet's Jeff Marek with a look at the NHL's lottery system and how it works, how the Canucks have had no luck, and what you almost always get when you choose first overall. He also has thoughts on the Olympic puck controversy and the reaction to the Hughes family drama. Whitecaps centreback Ralph Priso pays a visit as well to discuss the match vs San Jose tomorrow. He also shares his Canadian World Cup dreams and what it's like to get called up for the final international window before the tournament. Matt and Blake finish up with some Whitecaps ownership scuttlebutt and the MLS plans for a shortened season in 2027, plus, an ode to a Blue Jays legend.

After a 3-2-1 record in 6 games, Matt and Blake chat about the appearance of a rarity in Canucks nation..... optimism. The guys get into a possible attitide shift for the team and fans over the final 15 games. They also look back on the Hughes trade through a new lense as Marco Rossi begins to pay big dividends offensively and as the furor over the USA's golden puck reaches a fevered pitch. TSN's Frank Corrado stops by to offer his take on the possibility of a new room and new culture taking shape already for the Canucks, plus, he looks at the play of Rossi and how he compares with Detroit's Marco Kasper, who was another possibility in the Hughes trade rumours. Then all 3 guys get into a spirited debate about the NHL's playoff format and whether Bettman is right to defend the current format to the ends of the earth. The Daily Hive's Rob Williams drops by to talk about fans going to Canucks games to have fun again rather than cheer on losses, and Rob has also concluded a deep investigation into the Canucks dressing room's new victory song, and you won't believe what it is. Matt and Blake finish up with a recap of the Whitecaps loss to the Sounders as their Concacaf Champions Cup aspirations are dashed for the year. They also review a big win for the Goldeneyes, Nathan Rourke wants to go to the Olympics, and the Blue Jays need more pitching!
