Sept 23, 2025: Canucks D battles, CFL gets makeover

As the Canucks start to get a bigger sample size of these young defencemen, is there a chance that 2 can grab the 5-6 spots for opening night? Matt and Blake debate the merits of sending the veterans to the bench, and whether guys like D-Petey and Mancini can shoulder the load. They listen in on the day's comments from GM Patrik Allvin, and look ahead to the likely lineup tomorrow vs the Flames. Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects pays a visit to run down the performance of many of the younger Canucks so far in camp. Cam weighs in on the immediate futures of Mancini, Willander, D Petey, Höglander and Lekkerimäki. Plus, he gives his thoughts on Podkolzin's new deal in Edmonton and the trade/RFA market. Then it's a visit from Jim Mullin, the former President of Football Canada, to chat about the incoming CFL rule changes and the effects on the game. The guys debate the impact on game flow, scoring and CFL culture but also how it impacts grassroots football and the cost of fied changes around the country. The boys wrap up the show with a spirited debate on the CFL changes, a look at the possible Whitecaps lineup tomorrow night vs Portland, and the Jays and Mariners look to cement their chances of a division title.Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
