On this week's show, Brendan Batchelor and Randip Janda recap the Canucks' opening round series win against Nashville, preview Vancouver's second round matchup against Edmonton, answer some listener questions and conduct another Rose Ceremony.

Sat Shah, Bik Nizzar, Brett Festerling breakdown the Canucks 1-0 win over the Nashville Predators in game 6 to win the series to advance the Canucks to the second round vs. the Oilers. Hear from Head Coach Rick Tocchet (27:55), Qunn Hughes (9:50) Artus Silovs (1:33:27) and JT Miller (1:37:23) post game. Plus Randip Janda and Iain McIntyre provide their analysis.

Dan and Sat answer your most asked questions in the Friday Mailbag! Topics include, the most disappointing Canucks players in the playoffs, which players have upped their UFA value the most in the NHL Playoffs, if Toronto or Boston is under more pressure in Game 7, and dream third round matchups.

Dan and Sat open the show discussing the Jack Adams Award and analyzing how Rick Tocchet changed how the Canucks played. Do the Canucks need to win the series for Tocchet to win the Jack Adams? Or would it shade his stellar regular season. Is Vancouver lucky to be up 3-2 in this series? Canucks roundup includes Arturs Silovs most likely starting Game 6, and Nashville Predators lineup news.

Dan and Sat dive into the Elias Pettersson situation and brainstorm how he can get his game going. The guys discuss how it has been far from perfect for generating offence throughout the lineup but that the canucks are still leading which may be leading to the reluctance of Head Coach Rick Tocchet to make any lineup changes. Landon Ferraro then joins the show to give his take on how the Canucks can get more pucks to the net and describes how Elias Pettersson himself can turn the tide in this series.

Dan and Sat are joined by Bik Nizzar in a roundtable version of The Open as the group discusses how the Canucks can find their identity and play the style of game they want to play and that has brought success all season. The guys analyze what may be going wrong on the inconsistent powerplay for Vancouver and how the team may have showed a lack of composure in their first chance to close out a series.
