Matt and Blake discuss the lineup dressing in Abbotsford for the Canucks' penultimate preseason game; the decisions left to sort before the final roster is set; the path forward for Nils Höglander; the importance of these games for Cole McWard; how many starts for Thatcher Demko; as well as the opening of AHL training camp and the number of players on the farm team who could be called up this season. Other topics include the Lions and Whitecaps in huge games over the next 48 hours; and the Blue Jays blowing Game 1 of their Wild Card series. Chris Faber joins to begin his weekly Wednesday guest spots and tackles topics such as: is Vasily Podkolzin a bust? Can Höglander shine on the 4th line? Is McWard for top-4 duty? Will Rick Tocchet's defence-by-committee stand the test of time? What's next for Jack Rathbone. Plus his Canucks prospect of the week. Frank Corrado stops by and skewers the idea of defence-by-committee. He looks back on the decision to let Ilya Mikheyev play on a partially-torn ACL, plus he talks about ex-teammate Teddy Blueger: how he'll help the penalty-kill, his energy and work ethic. Alexander Hollins joins to take a bow after eclipsing 1,000 yards receiving for the Lions. Hollins tells us how he got so wide open for a long touchdown last week, gives us the pre-scout on Winnipeg's defence, and answers the big question between him and fellow 1,000-yard receiver Keon Hatcher: who's the man?
