Oct 1, 2025: Canucks vs Flames, Hughes signs (Luke)

The penultimate game of the Canucks preseason is upon us and Matt and Blake have you ready! The guys look at whether Cootes will continue to show his game and which veterans will get another shot before the final dress rehearsal. Also, with the Nils Höglander injury an 8-10 week affair, who will take the vacancy as an opportunity? The boys also debate the relevance of Luke Hughes' contract extension in New Jersey and what it all means for Quinn's future. TSN's Frank Corrado stops by to weigh in on the Hugheses as well, and whether Quinn's number may usurp Kaprizov and get to 20 million per season?! He also has thoughts on the Cootes probabilities and the Canucks PP1 setup, with Evander Kane in the old JT Miller spot. Then it's Cam Robinons from Elite Prospects with his pros and cons list on keeping Cootes for the opening roster. Cam also talks about Cootes' possibility to make Team Canada's Jr team, and whether guys like Räty and Karlsson have shown enough to earn their spots. The show wraps up with a chat on the Whitecaps-Vancouver FC Can Champ final, and what the guys want to call the derby. Plus, a look at the BC Lions playoff future and the baseball playoff schedules for the Jays and Mariners!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
