Matt and Blake discuss the Canucks' performance vs Carolina, including the return of Elias Pettersson to multi-point efforts, the usage of Andrei Kuzmenko, whether it's time to trade Kuzmenko, the underlying analytics on this Canucks season 1/3 of the way in, the pursuit of Ethan Bear ending, J.T. Miller tracking Tony Tanti's fine 1983-84 season and the return of Pius Suter. Other topics include the best and worst of NFL Week 14, the Seahawks not measuring up, the Lions brining back their entire coaching staff, and the Blue Jays failed Ohtani pursuit and where they go from here.

Jeff Paterson from the Rink Wide: Vancouver podcast stops by to rehash a 4-3 victory over Carolina and why it was an important win, with commentary on the performances from Elias Pettersson, Sam Lafferty, Quinn Hughes, the Myers-Zadorov pair and Phil Di Giuseppe. Jeff talks Kuzmenko, where it goes from here and whether it's time to trade him, as well as options on defence beyond Ethan Bear. Jeff also sets up the week ahead, including when we might see Pius Suter again.

Plus, we hear from you in 'To The People We Go' on Canucks topics, the NFL and Ohtani!
