Cam Robinson: New staff, new direction...new budget? And a Braeden Cootes update

July 22, 2026: Canucks confusion with BC's switch to permanent Daylight Savings Time, and JPat weighs in on new hires.

Matt and guest co-host Jeff Paterson discuss the wisdom of signing Zeev Buium to a long-term deal or whether it's best to wait. They take on the confusion (guilty!) of the Canucks schedule and when games actually start given BC's shift to permanent daylight savings time, the later Saturday night starts and other scheduling quirks. Jeff weighs in on the new hires of Ryan Papaioaanu on the Abby bench and Alex Edler in player development. The guys also discuss remaining RFAs and Nils Åman's tenure with the Canucks. Cam Robinson joins to talk about the new hires, player development and says he's a big fan of Papaioaanu and new asst coach Ryan Mougenel. He talks about the shrinking Canucks budget, Buium's next contract, Braeden Cootes' next steps, the great draft talent on display at next month's Hlinka. BC Lions president Duane Vienneau stops by for a welcome home. Lions play first game at BC Place Saturday since Nov. 1 last year. Duane talks about the Touchdown Kelowna experience, the upcoming pool party on Robson and how a pedestrian mall Granville St would be awesome for a future Grey Cup.

July 20, 2026: New Canucks game times; New staffs with new names

The boys are back after an historic weekend in sport, so a jam packed Monday show as usual! Matt and Blake further dissect the Canucks schedule and get into the virtual end of 7 PM starts in Vancouver. The guys also look at the coaching hires at the NHL and AHL level and take a look at the common criticisms of the hires so far. Former Canuck Frank Corrado stops by to talk some mid-summer hockey and some swirling rumours. Frank talks about his favourite landing spot for EP40, and what Shane Wright could provide if the Canucks are able to make a deal. Corrado lauds Alex Edler as his former teammate is back with the Canucks in a developmental role, plus, Frank's thoughts on a Bedard homecoming and his experiences with the sleep science. On that note, the guys welcome in for Canucks consultant Pat Byrne, the "sleep Doctor", to discuss the impact of the Canucks' schedule for next season: the challenges of the road trips, the change in start times for home games, and the possible pros and cons of a young roster being tasked with the rigours of the schedule. The boys finish up with a look at the World Cup final and the legacy left behind in Vancouver. Then it's an update on the Whitecaps and Lions, the Mariners and Jays scuffle along, and the Open Championship finds itself a speedy, blue collar winner!
