After a lacklustre performance for the Canucks in Nashville, Matt and Blake sink their teeth into a possible new reality of the Canucks season. The guys debate where the Canucks are at, and without a new second line centre via trade, is this just the way they play now? They drill deep on the performance of the two star skaters in Hughes and EP40, and whether either is now a serious cause for concern. RinkWide's Jeff Paterson stops by to give his takes on the many issues at hand, and the opportunity lost for the team as the schedule...

Well it was fun while it lasted, but Braeden Cootes gets sent to the WHL by the Canucks, meaning Matt and Blake have lots to discuss in the aftermath. The guys debate whether there is any regret about the decision to keep the youngster, and what this means to the Canucks centre ice position in the short and long term. Are the Canucks officially desperate to get a new centre, or will the eventual return of Blueger be enough for now? The guys also look at the road trip ahead, the goaltending usage, and JT Miller's comments after running...

After the Canucks suffer a Thanksgiving day loss to the Blues, Matt and Blake take a look at a start that is now bordering on concern. Outside of the goaltending, the stars have not been very visible, so is that an easier fix or more distressing? EP40's icetime is already being cut down by Adam Foote, so the guys debate whether this is the right approach for Pettersson so early in the season. The stats aren't even kind for Quinn Hughes, and the boys listen in on the already frustrated post-game comments of the captain. John Shannon stops...
