It’s the final day of the Canucks season, the PGA Championship starts tomorrow, and it’s another night full of NHL playoff hockey, so there is no shortage of storylines to get too.  The Welcome Matt takes a shot across the bow at Canucks chairman Francesco Aquilini and the way he’s mishandled running the organization since the Aquilini Family purchased the team.  Mark Zecchino from Golf Talk Canada joins next to tee up the PGA Championship from Kiawah Island, South Carolina.

Another beautiful day in Vancouver, but a dark cloud hovers over the Canucks. What's in store for the draft, next season, and the future of this organization? Joey Kenward stops by for a quick chat, and ESPN Senior Writer Greg Wyshynski talks about the exciting future for ESPN and the outside market perception of the Vancouver Canucks as well as what to expect next year with the Seattle Kraken and the Pacific Division.

The week begins with a bang, as it’s a game day for the Vancouver Canucks on the road in the nations capital for game three of four versus the Senators. The Welcome Matt questions the Canucks handling of the salary cap, after it was revealed last week that Olli Juolevi wasn’t in the lineup because of lack of cap space. Former Province sports editor Jonathan McDonald joins the show next and goes down memory lane of the Canucks 2011 run to the Stanley Cup final, revealing a story about a late night call from Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini the night after the Canucks lost game 6 of the first round in Chicago. Jonathan also reminisced about Jason Botchford’s life as a groundbreaking sports journalist during his time on the sports beat in Vancouver. Our Monday NHL insider John Shannon follows and the former executive producer of Hockey Night in Canada feels that the Canucks and Flames will go down to the wire to determine the final playoff spot in the North Division. John also said that he’s heard that a contract extension offer has been made by the Canucks to head coach Travis Green. The Price is Right wonders what the NHL on TNT would look like, and whether the league can assemble a panel that could be as entertaining as the NBA on TNT panel. Jeff Paterson joins for his daily hit and breaks down how the runway for the Calgary Flames is beginning to get shorter as they try to chase down the Montreal Canadiens for the final playoff spot in the North. The show concludes with an electric version of Memo To and a spicy recap of all the Errors and Omissions. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The last episode for the week begins with Blake explaining how his youngest daughter pulled a legendary April fools prank on her dad. The conversation moves to the Canucks handling of the COVID outbreak that’s going through the dressing room, and how Francesco Aquilini broke the news about the Thatcher Demko extension ahead of the Canucks own public relations. Canucks insider Jeff Paterson drops in for his daily chat, where J Pat wonders what exactly is going on with the COVID outbreak within the organization, and if there will be more players placed on the COVID list after it was made clear that another player was added to the list that already includes Adam Gaudette. The Demko extension comes back up, with J Pat asking if ownership got a little ahead of itself announcing the extension before the team sent out the press release. The conversation wraps up with talk about the Elias Pettersson, and how the team has been reluctant to give any information about what exactly the injury is for the Canucks young star. The Welcome Matt highlights the exceptional talent of 15-year old WHL prospect Connor Bedard of the Regina Pats. Adnan Virk from MLB Network joins to talk about opening day in the majors. They focus in on the Blue Jays, where Adnan questions if the Jays pitching can hold up to the high expectations surrounding the team. Adnan believes that the Jays could win somewhere around 85 games, but wonders if that will be enough to get by the Rays or the Yankees. The topic of what the Mariners will be like this season wraps up the interview. The newest weekly contributor to the show gets unveiled, as Thomas Drance from The Athletic in Vancouver joins for his first hit of many with the boys. Drance gives his insight on what he’s been hearing around the Canucks COVID outbreak, while wondering why the NHL doesn’t get proactive in purchasing vaccinations for the players across the league. Drance then gives his insight on the Demko extension. The show concludes where the boys release some more details about when they will begin streaming live, and welcomes in the new sponsors that have got onboard with the show.

CHP TALKS: Mark Donnelly Sings ‘O Canada' at BC Freedom RallyMark Donnelly is well-known and much appreciated for using his great voice to lead the singing of ‘O Canada' at the opening of hockey games for the Vancouver Canucks from 2001 until a few days ago. On Dec. 4, 2020, he was severed from his role by team owner, Francesco Aquilini who announced it on his Twitter feed. The reason for his sudden dismissal was his announced intention to sing the national anthem at the BC Freedom Christmas Rally held in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery on Dec. 5. At the Rally, Mark not only sang the anthem, but gave a moving speech on the importance of defending our freedoms. Later in the program, he also sang a powerful rendition of ‘O Holy Night'. This week he spoke with CHP TALKS co-hosts, Rod Taylor and Peter Vogel in a wide-ranging conversation about his family, his music, his composing and his convictions.

In this week’s White Towel podcast, beat writer Ben Kuzma and columnist Ed Willes join Paul Chapman to discuss the Canucks “microcore” and the challenges they face going into the rest of the season. The group also looks at the job Jim Benning has done, the increased social media presence of owner Francesco Aquilini and whether that places any extra burden on Benning, as well as the dilemma of what to do with the goaltending situation looking ahead to the off-season. The podcast finishes off with a look back at the 1982 Canucks team that caught fire and rode it all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals.  

In this week’s edition of the White Towel podcast Patrick Johnston and Ed Willes join Paul Chapman to talk about the burst of offence the Canucks have received this season. While the most prolific players are Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser, J.T. Miller has been the most important offensive key for the team this year. They also discuss owner Francesco Aquilini going ‘scoreboard’ on critics of the Miller trade, the importance of Quinn Hughes to the Canucks attack, and finish with a lengthy discussion on the inquest into hockey culture which has now centred on former Canucks coach Marc Crawford.
