Co-host Jeff Paterson, one half of the Rink Wide: Vancouver podcast duo, and Matt discuss Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko's forthcoming season: as a bounce-back candidate, as a breakout candidate, his workload, his backup, and his history with injuries. The Welcome Matt covers Elias Pettersson's next contract and how the Sebastian Aho extension serves as comparable. Kevin Woodley joins to discuss Canucks goaltending, including a new system under Rick Tocchet making it easier on the goalies and not being as reliant on the position, Demko's new offseason collaborator, the backup competition in camp between Spencer Martin and Arturs Silovs, the sweet spot in terms of number of starts, especially early in the season where feasibly Demko could play the first 14 games. Rob Williams gives us his lines and pairings for the Canucks on opening night, as well as takes us through ticket prices at Rogers Arena this season and in-game entertainment with the Canucks advertising changes to their game-day program.
