Matt and Blake are back and with plenty to talk about after a few days off, a World Cup in the home stretch, and the Canucks finally hiring some assistants alongside Manny Malhotra on the bench.

The guys also drill down on some of the trade rumours that still persist around the Canucks. Patrick Johnston of Postmedia stops by for a chat on the diminishing sports media options for fans in Western Canada, in the wake of the Rogers closings, and his recent chats with monopoly watchdogs. PJ also tackles the Canucks apparent budgetary critiques, and the needs for still more hirings before the summer is through. Jeff Paterson also joins with thoughts on the staffing of the Canucks and whether successful development can still be acheived with coaches that have less experience. JPat also talks about the next possible trade for the Canucks, Hronek or EP40's availablility, and whether Shane Wright is worthwhile target. The guys wrap up with a look ahead to the World Cup semifinals, the Whitecaps prepping for leg 2 vs Cavalry, the BC Lions make a hire, and 2 close calls for Canadian golfers on the weekend.  Thank you to our great sponsors: @bet365: It's never ordinary!
