July 6, 2026: Will Canucks join NHL crazy season? FIFA - "hold my beer"

An absolutely wild Monday show for Blake and Jeff as the Canadian run at the World Cup comes to an end and the NHL gets turned onto economic ear! The guys go over the historic month for the Canadian men's soccer program and the round of 16 match vs Morocco. Plus, all the craziness surround the USA vs Belgium and the political fallout! The guys look at the offer sheets in the NHL, the massive contracts handed out to young defencemen in the past 2 days, and what might be next with UFA's still available. DFO Insider David Pagnotta joins to discuss all the hockey, inlcuding the likelihood that the new economic reality might allow the Canucks to trade Elias Pettersson. He also talks about the general appetite for big swings right now in the NHL and how unorthodox a summer it's shaping up to be. Then it's Tosaint Ricketts from the TSN World Cup panel to discuss Alphonso Davies' absence from the pitch but an amazing run notwithstanding. Tos waxes on about the various marks set by the Canadian team and where this team is headed for 2030. Then the guys wrap up with a look at the BC Lions getting their first win of the season, the Whitecaps getting set for a return to Swangard, and the Jays and Mariners finish off a weird set down in Seattle!
