The guys look back on the Satruday affair and Adam Foote's usage of the younger players, which has drawn the ire of many Canucks fans.

The boys pivot to the other big news from the weekend as well, as they look at the shaky future of the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Dregs lets us know what Canucks management might be thinking wth regards to the future of Adam Foote, he talks about the fast approaching Olympic roster freeze and the likelihood of a massive deal for a guy like Artemi Panarin. Then it's Farhan Lalji from the site of Super Bowl LX, with his recap of the early returns in CFL free agency and the lack of much news from the BC Lions.
