Oct 2, 2025: Goals for roles! Canucks score 8, one week from opener

After an 8-1 preseason win in Calgary, there's lots to discuss for Matt and Blake as the Canucks are down to one more game before they set their rosters. The guys debate who gained the most ground in last night's win, and was EP40's power play goal a sign of things to come? Postmedia's Patrick Johnston stops by to review the entirety of the preseason and give us his yays and nays on who makes the team for Monday. PJ has hot takes on the likes of D-Petey, Mancini and Willander, plus whether the Canucks will continue their tradition of a smaller trade before the roster deadline. Then it's BC Lions legend Solomon Elimimian on his big night this weekend when the Lions will retire his number 56. He tells the story of his arrival in the CFL, playing hurt to make the team, and what created his ferocity on the field. Plus, as the president of the CFLPA, Solly lets us know what he thinks of the new CFL rule changes! Then the guys wrap up the 4th straight Canadian Championship for the Whitecaps, as they handily beat Vancouver FC. The guys also look at the Lions health going into Saturday and the MLB playoff picture shaping up for the Jays and Mariners.Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
