Tsn 1040: Sekeres & Price

In the aftermath of Canada's OT win over Sweden at the Four Nations, Matt and Blake go over the performance of both sides, and the review of Elias Pettersson's play in the loss for his side. The guys also chat about the newly announced international calendar, and whether it works for players and fans alike. Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects joins from the tournament, with his review of the vibes in Montreal, the chance of EP40 getting better after the tourney, and an update on the top Canucks prospects making waves of late. Jeff Marek of The Sheet then weighs in with an historical perspective on the quality of this Canadian team, and whether he thinks the players are buying in so far. And after watching Crosby rise to the occasion again, will we see Sid in the NHL playoffs ever again for the Pens, or will it be somewhere else? All that, plus some Lions and Whitecaps signings as well

After yet another home win over the Leafs, the Canucks are sailing into the break, so lots to get into on today's show. Blake is joined by guest host Patrick Johnston, and they recap the big weekend win, but also the injuries to both Quinn Hughes and Thatcher Demko. The guys talk about the optimism around the team, despite low scoring, low event wins of late. TSN's Darren Dreger stops by to discuss what's left to do for Vancouver before the trade deadline, and the appetite to make further changes. Plus, is Carson Soucy really on the block and would Hughes still be playing for Team USA if this was the Olympics? Then RinkWide's Jeff Paterson joins the guys with his post game report from Saturday, his prediction on trades during the NHL break, and they all weigh on what they think the new identity of the team might be. All that, plus a very brief Super Bowl recap and a Whitecaps ownership report that may or may not be optimistic.Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary! Download the app today

Other topics include: whether Dakota Joshua can get his season back on track, Quinn Hughes' injury and availability going forward, Conor Garland's leadership, Saturday's home game against the Leafs, and the Millers' farewell post to Vancouver.Former Canucks president/GM Mike Gillis stops by and assess the Canucks recent moves, the path forward for Elias, team "resets," the conversations between players, organizations and agents heading into international duty, and the growth of women's hockey.Arash Madani joins from Super Bowl with his thoughts -- and a bold prediction -- on the big game.

Matt and guest co-host Patrick Johnston discuss Marcus Pettersson's contract extension and whether Quinn Hughes will skip (or just miss) the 4 Nations tournament. The guys discuss whether Pettersson's new deal is better than if they had re-signed Nikita Zadorov; why they acted so quickly; could waiting have provided better information on the fit; and the merits of getting him locked up. They also talk about the sensitive nature of the conversation with Hughes. It's in the club's best interest that he doesn't play, but does encouraging him to sit out cut too close to offending him given what's gone on this year with the J.T. Miller trade and a recast roster. They also touch on Carson Soucy's comments about being on the trade block, and 5-on-5 scoring being down league-wide.Rob Williams joins with some hot takes.

Matt and guest co-host Patrick Johnston discuss the Canucks' 3-0 win over Colorado; the contributions of newcomers Filip Chytil and Drew O'Connor; the emergence of Elias Pettersson on defence; Thatcher Demko finding his groove; and the overall joy and vibe-improvement after two weekend trades. They also talk about the other Elias Pettersson, and whether he'll ever find his game.Frank Corrado joins and declared he's the president of the Victor Mancini Fan Club. He gives us insight on Chytil, O'Connor and Marcus Pettersson; tells us Pettersson will eventually bounce back; analyzes the Canucks' style of play before/after the dealing; and discusses what a dressing room is like when so much change happens at once.Laurence Gilman stops by and says the Canucks made out well with the trades, both in hockey and salary-cap senses.

Matt and guest co-host Farhan Lalji from Super Bowl discuss the makeover of the Canucks; the availability of Carson Soucy via trade; and whether J.T. Miller belongs in the Canucks' Ring of Honour. We get Farhan's thoughts on if they're a better team following two big trades; whether moving Soucy is wise; how they'll sort the goaltending going forward; and what happened to get to this point. The guys also discuss Super Bowl 59 between Kansas City and Philadelphia and the B.C. Lions in free agency.John Shannon stops by and says he's disappointed that Miller is gone, even if he understands it. He really likes newcomers Drew O'Connor and Victor Mancini, but says the most important guy in the trades is a guy who wasn't a part of those trades: Elias Pettersson. He remains bullish on the Canucks' playoff chances and is thrilled that Rick Tocchet can finally get back to coaching.Cam Robinson is coolish on the Canucks' deals.

He really likes newcomers Drew O'Connor and Victor Mancini, but says the most important guy in the trades is a guy who wasn't a part of those trades: Elias Pettersson. He remains bullish on the Canucks' playoff chances and is thrilled that Rick Tocchet can finally get back to coaching.

Cam Robinson is coolish on the Canucks' deals. He's fine with the Miller deal but doesn't like that they had to surrender a first-round pick in the Marcus Pettersson trade. He says there should be a market for Soucy but wonders why the Canucks would move a potential playoff contributor after making a trade for two unrestricted free agents. He doesn't see a fit for Ottawa's Josh Norris, even if he loves the idea of acquiring Quinn Hughes' best friend. And he says Miller falls short of Ring of Honour worthiness.

A busy weekend for the Canucks! Two trades and two games later, where are the Canucks now and where they headed? Matt and Blake are back to break it all down after some first impressions of the new look core vs the Red Wings. The guys look at the chance of any more dramatics before the trade deadline, and is Quinn Hughes ok after missing the game on Sunday? TSN's Darren Darren stops by with a blow by blow description of how it all went down for the Canucks, and gives us the lowdown on what the tipping point was in the JT Miller trade. Dregs talks about the Canucks current situation and whether Elias Pettersson could still be traded, and the salary cap situation getting the trades going around the NHL. Then it's RinkWide's Jeff Paterson with his review on the new look Canucks, both in concept and in the game vs Detroit. Plus, is Carson Soucy's scratch indicative of the club's loyalty to the player ahead of the deadline? All that. plus the huge NBA trade, along with Lions and Whitecaps news as well!
