Tyler is absent for this episode and you know the old saying; "When the cat's away, the mice go on weird tangents about rebuilding the Canucks, Greenland, the Green Bay Packers, the World Juniors, the JOHL, and stadium food" At least I think that's how the saying goes.

What a time to be a Vancouver Boys host (or listener). With all of the co-hosts teams being bottom 10 in the NHL, The Boys have no choice but to ask the tough questions. Retool? Rebuild? Buy? Sell?

Our most heartstopping episode yet! - Episode 66 (S2E40)

Free agent frenzy rolls on and the boys discuss who's still available and who might be a good fit. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I wonder if that's true for adding players who take risks to your roster? If so, grab some Asprin, because whoever signs this player might just end up making your heart skip a beat... because of all of the chances he'll take... yeah.

Jul 22, 202201:19:35

Canucks Legend...Jason Spezza? - Episode 60 (S2E34)

This is a weird episode. Canucks news is newsy, the goof is goofy and of course the headline is from Florida, so nothing too crazy there, but in this episode it is definitely more in the journey than the destination. We touch on the Avalanche's goal/no goal, the 3rd round so far and a ton else.

Jun 03, 202201:22:42
