Sekeres and Price are reunited! Matt and Blake are both back in studio to help breakdown a busy sports weekend.

The boys also tackle the demise of Hockey Night in Punjabi and the effects on the local community. Then it's Cam Robinson from Elite Prospects on the Canucks' likely plan for Braeden Cootes and Adam Novotny, and which gets the longer look in training camp. Cam also talks about the likely Canucks goaltending situation, and whether a PTO or UFA might be needed with Thatcher Demko still not ready in September.

Aug 5, 2026: Another Quinn conundrum, a Petey sighting, The Show Vancouver getting real and optimism around #SaveTheCaps.

Matt and Jeff Paterson discuss Quinn Hughes' future and how Canucks fans would be sweating his lack of contract extension if he were still Vancouver's player; they talk about whether the die is cast for a Hughes brothers union in New Jersey and whether they'll be at the forefront of building NBA-style super teams in the NHL. The guys also lay out the business case for MLB in Vancouver, admit that the idea isn't as far-fetched as initially believed having done some digging and gotten to more details about a well-curated plan on behalf of Zack Ross, the Vancouver developer who is leading the bid. Matt reports where the idea originated from, that there is significant money behind the group, that MLB's labour situation is working in the bid's favour, that a stadium site has been identified and that no team name has yet been selected, that it might be a matter of public consultation and a name-the-team contest. The guys also talk about Elias Pettersson skating at the Kings' practice facility in L.A. -- there are optics there! Cam Robinson joins to talk Canucks practice facility, Hughes' future, Malhotra/Cootes at the World Junior summer camp and draft prospects for 2027 and 2028. FIFA vice-president Victor Montalgnani joins to say there are groups looking at the Caps, one local, one European beyond the Arthur Griffiths-led bid. He says he remains positive the team will stay and that a number of interested groups are there provided the club gets the management contract for BC Place. Victor also wraps the summer of soccer in Vancouver after the World Cup. Thank you to our great sponsors: @bet365: It's never ordinary!
