Paul Haysom, lead anchor for the 6:00 Chek News broadcast joins us to breakdown the game vs Carolina on Thursday and talk about the future of the team. He also shares about his love of hockey, early playing days with some future NHLers and how that eventually led into a broadcasting career.

We go around the league, touch on some other NHL storylines and have a rapid fire "Who'd you choose?" for Paul.

The regular season is finally here! Stephen, Jeremy and Adrian go over some of the last roster edits where prospects have ended up and how they are doing. We get into a discussion about other potential Captain candidates and then break down the difference of fan experience when your team is in a rebuild vs expected to contend. Freedom vs pressure.

If you did not hear it, we released a surprise episode on Friday October 2nd - an interview with the voice of the Canucks - Brendan Batchelor. You can check that out wherever you get your podcasts.

We are joined by the voice of the Canucks - Kiss FM's Brendan Batchelor! He goes over a bit of his time coming up in the broadcast industry, some memories of mentors and legends like Jim Robson, John Garrett (Cheech), Jim Hughson and John Shorthouse.

He shares his "Welcome to the NHL" moment and then dives into a bit of behind the scenes. What it's like to prep and broadcast an NHL game. We then discuss the current iteration of the Canucks this year and talk about what to expect for a young, rebuilding team.

Find Brendan "Batch" Batchelor broadcasting every Canucks game on Kiss FM around B.C., stream it on the Seeker app or on the NHL app.

Hockey season is back, and the guys record with a game on in the background. They react to the first two preseason games, including the loss to Calgary's veteran-heavy lineup. They talk about Novotny getting sent down to the CHL and why it makes sense, Bains and Coots showing chemistry, Lekkerimaki's assists, Schenn's hits, and Braeden Cootes' mindset about earning his spot. Hronek and Oleksiak also get a look.

They read your comments on the underdog rebuild and who should be the next captain (as long as it's not a goalie), and remind you the season bets contest is still open for a shot at free stuff.

Around the league, they cover the Quinn Hughes situation in Minnesota, Connor McDavid's future in Edmonton, a Kraken holdout, another RFA's six-year deal, and Winnipeg trolling their own fans. They also discuss how the PWHL is taking over CBC's Saturday night slot. Plus, Lankinen's workload, power play struggles, and a Canucks fan in a Saddledome farewell jersey.

Training camp is finally here! The guys dive into Manny Malhotra's leadership and the culture shift he's driving, plus standout performances from the Young Guns Tournament — including breakout buzz around Novotny, Cootes and Rogowski. They talk no more yo-yoing between the AHL and NHL, react to fan comments and DMs (more Lekkerimaki, please), and break down camp's early line combinations, including a surprising Hronek–Oleksiak top pairing.

Plus: the Connor Hellebuyck saga around the league, Patrik Laine's stunning fall from a 40-goal scorer to unsigned free agent. All that, plus a look at whether this "unwatchable" Canucks team is about to prove the doubters wrong.

Fresh off correctly predicting the Zeev Buium extension, the guys turn to who's next on Vancouver's contract radar — Liam Ohgren, Jonathan Lekkerimäki, and Tom Willander — then run a full slate of preseason predictions (points leader, wins leader, breakout ex-Canuck, NHL award picks, trade count) before wrapping with Jake DeBrusk's apparent change of heart on staying in Vancouver and a push for John Garrett's induction into the Canucks Ring of Honour.

Stephen, Daniel, Jeremy, and Adrian open by taking a victory lap on last episode's Buium contract prediction, then debate which player Vancouver should extend next — weighing Ohgren, Lekkerimäki, D'Ellis "D Petey," and Tom Willander, with the group leaning toward locking up Willander before the September 15 deadline that shortens maximum deal length. They dig into who has the hardest shot on the team (Pettersson vs. Hronek) before launching a full round of listener-facing preseason predictions: points leader (Boeser vs. Pettersson vs. a dark-horse Karlsson pick), most wins among the goalies (Demko, Lankinen, or Tolopilo), best season from a former Canuck, best season among Podkolzin/Ohgren/Höglander, most improved young defenseman (Willander/Buium/D Petey), NHL award longshots (Masterton, Art Ross, Jack Adams), and an over/under on trades made this season. They close with a discussion on Jake DeBrusk's recent comments suggesting he's bought into the team's culture and isn't seeking a trade, praise for veterans Hronek and DeBrusk for welcoming younger players off the ice, and a unanimous call for broadcaster John Garrett's induction into the Canucks Ring of Honour.
