The list is getting more and more public and the fans, not to mention Matt and Blake, are having their say! Today on the show, the guys are going over the various ex-NHL players that are seemingly in the mix, particularly the likes of Shane Doan, Kevyn Adams, Ryan Johnson and Ray Whitney. The boys debate who has the chops, the smarts, and the fan rapport to make it all work. TSN's Frank Corrado stops by to give his impressions on the guys in question, with some interesting personal insights on a couple of them. He has his thoughts on the relevance of direct experience in the job, and whether RJ should ultimately have a leg up on everyone. He also weighs in on the Canadian u18 team and the reclamation attempts by Verhoeff and Lawrence to get back into the top 10 of the NHL entry draft. Then the guys welcome in Canucks superfan Clay Imoo to talk about his decision to stop being a season ticketholder. Clay talks about his continued fandom despite the decision and the outreach he's received from the Canucks, as well as the Lions and Whitecaps! Matt and Blake finish up with the latest from city council and the MLB expansion bid, the C's continued brilliance at Nat Bailey, a wild night in MLS with a goalkeeper's goal, and the Warriors get set for sudden showdown on Friday!

Half way through the first week of a GM search and the list of possible names is expanding quickly! Matt and Blake begin to run down the list of reported suitors and debate which make the most sense for the organization. The guys chat about the best approach for the team; experienced vs first time manager. They also look at market knowledge and how that might benefit a few of the candidates. Also, some Canucks are still in the mix to play at the Worlds! Postmedia's Patrick Johnston stops by and offers his opinions on how the Canucks are going about their business of finding a GM. PJ talks about the "multiple list" theory and who has the most infuence on the decision to be made. Plus, Patrick gets into the latest on Shane Doan's possible interest or a return from Laurence Gilman. The Daily Hive's Rob Williams joins as well and answers the experience vs youth debate. He also gets into Adam Foote's likely future and the absurdity of more than one list from multiple bosses in the Canucks organization. The Goldeneyes are almost done with season number one and GM Cara Gardner Morey stops by to discuss how it's been on and off the ice. She talks about the amazing vibes all season long, their unique chase of the first overall draft pick, and the likelihood of sweeping change to the roster, given how many players are finishing contracts. The guys finish up with a look at the MLS standings before most of the league plays matches later today, the Canadian men are still getting bad news about their centrebacks ahead of the World Cup, and the Jays may be about to change the closer's role!

The playoffs are in full swing and the Canucks can't stop making waves as the offseason continues, so Matt and Blake have their hands full with storylines! The guys look at the latest reporting on the decision making in the Canucks' front, and corner, office. They also debate whether it's going to be a sharp, young mind that will get the job or a grizzled old veteran. Plus, a quick update on the Canucks prospects that are still alive in the CHL playoffs. TSN's Darren Dreger joins to give all the details on the Canucks' search, including the owner's role and the future of Rutherford in his current position. Dregs gets into the timeline for the final decision on the GM and whether there may be a second hire to be made in the event of a Rutherford departure. Darren also runs down the list of names that are theoretically available and especially the veteran ones that have been most vocal about getting back in the game. The guys finish up with a chat on Mike Gillis' future, here, there or anywhere. Then it's Rob Fai from the Vancouver Canadians to expand on his feelings regarding the mayor's MLB announcement. The former voice of the C's talks about the differences between fan interest, the likelihood of fans' financial support, and genuine, billionaire level of interest in investment. In the final segment, Matt and Blake take a look at the latest murmurs around the Whitecaps and the announcement in Vegas of a new soccer stadium. They also get into Whitecaps injury news for the weekend, the Lions celebrate the retirement of a former all star, and the PGA tour is saying aloha to a couple of tournaments?!
