The Canucks implode versus Detroit, it's 9 straight losses and the rebuild is off to an ominous start, so lots for Matt and Blake to digest on today's show! The guys look back on what might be the worst effort of the season for the Canucks, and then ask how they right the ship in time for Minnesota's visit on Sunday. The guys debate whether Quinn Hiughes' return was actually any sort of distraction or are the Canucks really just one of the worst NHL teams of the modern era?? They also examine whether the losing streak will have any effect on the reception for Hughes this weekend, and whether Hughes' uncertain future differentiates this game from Tkachuk's return. RInkWide's Jeff Paterson stops by with his views on the game last night, the tone of the post game comments, and the expectations for Sunday's game vs Hughes. JPat talks about the problematic play of the vets vs the youngsters, plus, his review of EP40 and Lekkerimäki's goals on the night. The Sheet's Jeff Marek stops by for a wide ranging chat on the woes of the Canucks, the return of Hughes, Tkachuk in Ottawa, and the future of superstar movement in the NHL. The guys debate whether there has been, or ever will be, a shift to Canadians wanting to win in Canada. Matt and Blake finish up with a Müller update and a lineup preview of the Whitecaps in Denver, the BC Lions get set for a weird one this weekend, while the Seahawks get some welcome news at running back as they get set to face their own Super Bowl running back!
