June 17, 2026: NHL business heats up, Canucks lie in wait; HNIC RIP

After another day of trades, signings and hirings, Matt and Blake begin the countdown to the Sedins first moves in charge of the Canucks. The guys get into the surge of NHL business, an AHL signing for the Canucks and some rumours that are percolating around the league. The boys also chat about the demise of the current version of Hockey Night in Canada and if it's going to be a noticeable absence for Canadians. Postmedia's Patrick Johnston joins the guys on the changing tv habits for Saturday nights as well. He also gets into the idea of a "budget" for the Canucks and whether that might impact their urgency to trade away vets, or affect their ability to take on bad contracts in a deal. Then it's OneSoccer and TSN's Kristian Jack, live in studio, to discuss the opening week of the World Cup and the tournament's reception in North America. KJ talks about Canada's possible lineup vs Qatar and the ramnifications of a Canadian win within the group. Kristian also has thoughts on the health of the Whitecaps in the city of Vancouver. Matt and Blake finish up with a further look at the day that was at the World Cup and the overall successes so far at the tournament. The Whitecaps make a player move and are back at training as well.. The guys talk some gridiron too as the BC Lions sign some injury help at the receiver position. Plus, the entire baseball story and a preview of the US Open! Thank you to our great sponsors: @bet365: It's never ordinary!
