The Canucks continue to set the pace atop the Pacific with a win over Montreal, and Nikita Zadorov takes his turn in the spotlight. Matt and Blake discuss the biggest night of Zadorov’s Canucks career as the big defenceman paces the team with two 1st period goals en route to the 4-1 win. The guys can’t help but wonder if nights like that might change the narrative that he’s just a rental for this season. They bring in the Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli for his thoughts on that, and how it might intertwine with the Flip Hronek negotiations. Also, Frank’s hysterical thoughts on the soap opera that is John Tortorella’s Flyers squad. Rink Wide: Vancouver host Jeff Paterson peeks in with a full post-game report, with more on Casey DeSmith’s fine effort, and the overall defensive play of late.

Demko Drama! The Canucks had one of their most impressive wins of the season on the weekend vs the Jets, but Thatcher Demko’s early departure in that game has Canucks nation rightfully concerned.

Matt and Blake pull a Seinfeld. A show about nothing after the Canucks do jack squat at the NHL Trade Deadline. The guys discuss what the Canucks didn't do in terms of not acquiring a player, nor signing Phil Kessel. They talk about whether they should have beaten the price Winnipeg paid for Tyler Toffoli, missing out on Jake Guentzel, and Jason Zucker. Other topics include: bargain prices for teams with cap space & the Canucks' lack thereof, not wanting to go 'all-in' and sell the farm, not moving on from Ilya Mikheyev earlier, Vegas loading up and the means by which the Knights could load up, and Vasily Podkolzin up/down and role going forward. Jeff Paterson (Rink Wide: Vancouver) stops by to say he was surprised and disappointed that the Canucks didn't do more. Jeff cites the need for another scoring winger, the lack of 4th-line identity, the inability to add character players, the lack of quality available (in Patrik Allvin's eyes), Elias Lindholm's go-forward from here, needing Podkolzin to play a role going forward in his analysis.

Trades, trades, and more trades! But still quiet for the Canucks... Matt and Blake talk about where the Canucks are right now in their pursuit of roster improvements, just as the West Conference contenders around them continue to wheel and deal. Tyler Toffoli and Jake Guentzel remain possibilities but nothing seems close. Canucks analyst and ESPN broadcaster Ray Ferraro stops by with his thoughts on the roller coaster of news around the Canucks, he talks about the fit for Elias Lindholm in the lineup, and whether the old 3rd line should be reunited when Dakota Joshua returns to full health. Then, it’s Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli with the latest inside scoop on the Canucks trade aspirations and whether Toffoli or Guesntzel can still happen, and his thoughts on the “creative” moves made by the Vegas Golden Knights in particular.

Matt and Blake discuss the latest trade deadline rumblings and the arms race igniting in the West. Canucks' exploration of a Elias Lindholm for Jake Guentzel deal, Vancouver's interest in Arizona winger Jason Zucker, Vasily Podkolzin being sent down, the Avalanche adding Sean Walker and Casey Mittelstadt (while parting with two B.C. boys), the Oilers adding Adam Henrique and Sam Carrick, Vegas getting Anthony Mantha, the Kings positioning themselves, a buyer's market shaping up (great for Vancouver) are all topics. As are the 2-1 overtime win in L.A., the miraculous Thatcher Demko save, Petey & J.T. stepping up when needed, and the boring Kings style. Darren Dreger jumps on to discuss the "salacious" report about a 3-team deal with Boston and Pittsburgh involving Lindholm & Guentzel. Dreger says the Canucks are still checking in on the defence market but won't likely be bringing an ex-Canuck winger back. He comments on the Canucks being aggressive, the shaping-up of a buyer's market, targets with term such as David Savard and Frank Vatrano, what's happening in Calgary with ex-Canuck Jacob Markstrom and Noah Hanifin, and his thoughts on the Canucks' glorious season to date and chances in the postseason. Frank Corrado hops on and says the Canucks now "must" trade Lindholm. That word leaking that they are exploring a Guentzel deal using Lindholm as bait means genie is out of the bottle and there's no going back, Frank evaluates why Lindholm hasn't worked out, Guentzel's fit, the prices paid for Anthony Mantha and Vladimir Tarasenko, and the availability of Vatrano, Savard.

Deadline Day minus 3! The trade targets are coming fast and furious for the Canucks, and around the league, and today Matt and Blake wonder how far the team is ready to go before Friday. Is there a player that would peel free Jonathan Lekkerimäki? Or Tom Willander?” Or even a soon-to-be 20-goal scorer in Nils Höglander? The Globe and Mail’s Gary Mason stops by for a walk down memory lane on the last time the Canucks were in this position, plus after years of losing, is ownership pushing an aggressive deadline week? John Shannon has his take on the trade pace around the league, and gives us his player choice for the Canucks to acquire before the end of the week.  All that, plus a crazy day of moves around the NFL as well!

Matt and Jeff discuss the 5-1 loss to the Kings and whether their play over the last fortnight is a blip or something deeper, as the Canucks fall out of first place in the overall league standings. They talk about Rick Tocchet's harsh comments on his team, 6-7 guys not going, "egregious" details, having "lost" their staples of playing without the puck, that Elias Pettersson needs to get going, the criticism of Quinn Hughes and Filip Hronek.

Matt and Jeff discuss Frank Seravalli's report that Elias Pettersson is now ready to talk extension with the Canucks, and that the sides are considering an eight-year deal. They discuss what brought this about, whether the noise in the market was a contributing factor, fans and media getting anxious, head coach Rick Tocchet musing that it might be a distraction and effected his play, even the surging popularity of J.T. Miller? The guys also discuss the Chris Tanev trade and whether the Canucks missed out, while turning attention to other defencemen on the market. What kind of defenceman they need with Carson Soucy on the comeback trail. The penalties, they are a problem. Tocchet's comments on punishing players who take too many, as well as opposing players snapping their heads and drawing penalties. Canucks once had that rep, is it gone now? Seravalli joins to flesh out his Pettersson report, Frank also talks about the Tanev deal, whether the Canucks were in it until the end, and whether the Flames did well on the return. Frank tells us about the Canucks interest in Minnesota Wild winger Brandon Duhaime, and floats a potential destination for ex-Canuck Tyler Toffoli, who might be on the move by next Friday's trade deadline.

Matt and JPat discuss the overtime loss to the Pens, another magnificent game from J.T. Miller, whether they were wrong about Miller, the crowd chanting his name and J.T. playing dumb, Rick Tocchet saying he needs more guys going while singling out Miller as the exception, Nils Höglander reaching 200 NHL games and his continued development with some good (another goal) and some bad (culpability on tying goal), Elias Lindholm's struggles, Arshdeep Bains' first week in the NHL, that vaunted third line and how it is now split up and looking lost, the penalties and whether referees have a vendetta, a good night for the fourth line (when they needed it), and Tocchet saying power-play guys need a breather from each other (and whether Miller and Elias Pettersson were the two guys in question). Frank Corrado joins to talk about Miller, his pulling guys into the fight and how you can see the confidence brimming. He breaks down the struggles of Quinn Hughes and Lindholm, and whether the latter is a positional fit with the rest of the top-6. He comments on the workload of his old defence partner, and gives us his trade-deadline wish-list player. Harman Dayal stops by and tells us why the Canucks are taking so many penalties.

Matt and guest co-host Jeff Paterson of Rink Wide: Vancouver muse over Elias Pettersson trades, and whether it's time to start wondering what those could look like this summer. They discuss Elias Lindholm's mediocre start as a Canuck, where he fits best in the lineup. Thatcher Demko's workload is a topic, as is new power play formations at morning skate and whether Phil Kessel is the tonic for that struggling unit. Other topics include: the game against the Penguins, interest in Brandon Duhaime or players like him and whether they need one for the playoffs; the Dallas Star gaining cap space as a team to watch before the deadline, and the Boston Bruins' scratching a veteran defenceman and on the lookout for a blue-liner before next week's deadline.

Matt and Blake pay tribute to fans with one familiar face and one familiar voice joining a special S&P Presents Labour Day edition. Piero Manetta has been sitting behind the Canucks bench at Rogers Arena for two decades. Fans have long speculated about who he is, what he does, and why he looked right at home with guys like Odjick and Rypien. Hear Piero tell his own journey to Canucks' fame, how he gets stopped around town, and how he's become part of an ever-changing culture in Canucks club seats. Jugpreet Bajwa was once a regular caller on Blake's post-game show.

Matt and Jeff discuss the future of Tanner Pearson now that he's back skating -- and golfing! -- which seems like great news for that an injured hand. Can he help the Canucks? Is he a Tocchet-type player? Where does he fit in the lineup? Does he need to start in the American Hockey League? Plus, it was this Friday last year when the Canucks signed JT Miller to a seven-year extension. Who should be his wingers and how will he live up to the pressure of performing as an $8 million man? John Shannon stops by to tell us 1/3 the league have their personnel set, so a Tyler Myers trade might be tricky. John talks about how the trend now is to have a "leadership group" and not necessarily a captain. He also speaks to the Rick Tocchet affect on the club, and the lack of a practice facility.

Matt and Blake keep talking Petey. How the Auston Matthews extension affects him and the Canucks. The vacant captaincy and what his contractual status means for that decision. The wounds already apparent among Canucks fans. The possibility of an in-season deal. The possibility of a shorter-term deal. And what players usually say about their desire to stay with a team juxtaposed against Elias' comments this week. Rob Williams stops by with his take on Pettersson's comments, and his concern level that this might be his last season in Vancouver. He also catches us up on changes to Rogers Arena for this season and beyond. Rob also hits on the Raptors, who remain a big draw on the West Coast.

Matt and Blake discuss the big news from Sweden: Elias Pettersson will not be signing a contract extension with the Canucks before the season. They go over the implications for this season and beyond, wonder about the reasons, talk about the offshoots -- can he be named captain in this environment -- as well as parsing the good news about his love for Vancouver and the fishbowl of playing in a hockey market. Jeff Paterson gives us his reaction to Elias Pettersson's comments, reminds us of the last time he played out a contract and awaited an extension, tells us what that means for the Canucks and explains why he's not yet worried that Petey will leave like Tkachuk in CGY, Dubois in WPG and DeBrincat in OTT. Frank Corrado is even more optimistic for Canucks fans. He says he has "zero" concern that Pettersson will leave, believing that this is solely about getting off to a good start to the season, unlike the last two. Frank allows that there are positive and negative interpretations to the comments, and that direction of the team is going to be big in getting him signed long-term.   Presented by Applewood Auto Group.Follow us on social (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok & YouTube). Powered by Go Goat SportsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They discuss whether the offseason additions "move the needle" for the Canucks both in the short- and long-term; the differences between Pius Suter and Teddy Blueger; the start of Sweden's hockey season with prospects Jonathan Lekkerimäki and Elias (D) Pettersson; and the need for defence prospects beyond the first-round to hit.
