Reunited and it feels so good! Matt is back from vacation, just in time to join Blake in pumping up the Olympic hockey tournament and recapping a Canucks fizzle before the break. The guys debate whether Elias Pettersson will find new life at the Olympics or whether he will ever find his prime form again. They also look at the lack of more Canucks trades just before the roster freeze, and what may come after. The guys sink their teeth into the second ever Super Bowl for the Seattle Seahawks in a dominating, albeit boring, edition of the big game vs New England. The guys look at its place in history, the chances of a defensive dynasty, and Sam Darnold answering all of his critics. John Shannon is back with the guys to talk about the quiet roster freeze deadline for the Canucks and what he expects to see happen when the NHL gets back to business. John gets into the future of Elias Pettersson, the culture in the Canucks room, and a deep dive into the Canucks chances of emulating the Canadiens' rebuild. Our Seahawks Insider Gregg Bell stops by to recap the Super Bowl victory for Seattle and to put the season into full context. Gregg compares this Seattle defence to some all time greats, talks about the importance of Emmanwori and Witherspoon, the possibility of Kenneth Walker's return, and whether the Seahawks can run this all back again next season! Matt and Blake wrap it up with an Olympics update for Canada, the Whitecaps are headed home from Spain with their new BC Place lease, and the Vancouver Warriors are red hot in temper and in the standings!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
