Matt and Blake dissect the Canucks press conference announcing a contract extension for the President of Hockey Operations, Jim Rutherford, including what Rutherford believes is behind his team's turnaround, the path forward to re-signing Elias Pettersson, what to do with a slumping Andrei Kuzmenko (sounds like he'll be traded), the likelihood that the Canucks make a big acquisition prior to the deadline, and chances of a practice facility sooner than later. The guys also cover a spirited 2-1 win over Arizona Thursday that had fights, physicality, a playoff feel, more genius from Petey and good work by the Conor Garland line, and some complimentary post-game words from the Coyotes' coach.
Rink Wide: Vancouver host Jeff Paterson stops by with his interpretation of what he heard from Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini and Rutherford, on the extension, on going for it, on big trades, Pettersson, Kuzmenko and a practice facility.
Plus, we go To The People and hear from listeners on an assortment of Canucks topics. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.
