This last week the Vancouver Canucks made some big moves, most notably firing Head Coach Travis Green and GM Jim Benning. Bruce Boudreau is hired to take over as Head Coach and Stan Smyl steps into the role of Interim General Manager. Ty and Mike take their first trip across the border down to Seattle to watch the Seahawks vs 49ers. We discuss our experience and breakdown the game. UFC 269 Oliveira vs Poirier goes down Saturday December 11, 2021 from Las Vegas, NV. We break down the main card and make our picks.

This week we're joined by former NHL defenceman Doug Bodger, who played over 1000 games in the league. Doug has some fantastic stories. He and Russ talk about the long and winding road that led to their friendship and what was supposed to be their farewell NHL tour as teammates in LA. The boys talk about Mario Lemieux, Doug's old teammate in Pittsburgh. He and Mario were drafted by the Pens 7 picks apart in the 1984 NHL draft. Apparently Mario didn't make the best first impression on the franchise or his Penguins teammates. But that lasted about 5 seconds. Doug has some great stories about life on the road - karaoke, curfews, measuring belly buttons and a classic story about former Canucks head coach Marc Crawford at a Montreal steakhouse that signalled the end of Doug's career. Doug remembers golfing with Tiger...Tiger Williams, that is, and something called neighbourhood golf. And the two former Canucks also discuss this week's firing of head coach Travis Green and GM Jim Benning, Russ's former Leafs' teammate.

Another busy week in the NHL means that there is limited time for shenanigans! Carl forgot that they planned to discuss the Jack Hughes extension with the New Jersey Devils. So, they started with it. Will this deal be good for New Jersey or a win for Jack? The Vancouver Canucks cleaned house, firing coach Travis Green and GM Jim Benning, bringing in Bruce Boudreau as the new coach. Will this right the ship in Vancouver? The firings continued as the Philadelphia Flyers fired Alain Vigneault and brought in Mike Yeo. The Connors and the Coyotes bring us to a backup goalie (Jonas Johansson), an 11 game losing streak, a 6 game winning streak and a trip to Houston.

The Sens stick with the status quo. The Grey Cup is set between Hamilton and Winnipeg...again. And the Baltimore Ravens go for broke in Pittsburgh vs the Steelers.

This week we hit the quarter poll of the NHL season.  With most teams around 14 games we delve into the standings and what that might mean for the remainder of the regular season.  We also identify some surprises uncovered along the way.  First, we talk about Sullivan being fired...that's Steve Sullivan, assistant GM for the Arizona Coyotes.  He has been let go but no other details were given and no replacement will be named.  The owner of the Vancouver Canucks has given the dreaded kiss of death to the head coach, Travis Green and GM Jim Benning after the team's recent struggles.  Should both of these men be looking for new employment soon? We break down the league as it hits the first turn for this season and finally we talk about and break down the issues with the draft lottery.  Pierre LeBrun has reported on The Athletic that the NHL could potentially be looking at changes to how it works.  And Mike enthralls us with his plan for the draft lottery and, in a really outside the box thought, suggests that teams could be allowed to trade ping pong balls. Definitely worth a listen this week and we would love to hear your suggestions as well!  Enjoy the show!

With the 2019-2020 NHL season finally coming to a close, Chris & Anna begin the process of wondering what 2020-2021 NHL hockey will look like, and what the Canucks roster will consist of come that time.

If there are holes in the roster, how should GM Jim Benning go about fixing them? And will there ever be bums in seats again in the NHL and regardless, what does that next season even look like?

Ed Willes joins Paul Chapman to talk about the final stretch of the Canucks season. They wanted meaningful games in March, they’ve got them, and depending on the results, Ed suggests nothing is off the table for GM Jim Benning or coach Travis Green.   They also talk about the surprising role of Jake Virtanen and Ed suggests that Green has cards to play to jolt the team into life that he’s not playing and that it could cost him in the long run.

Ed Willes and Ben Kuzma join Paul Chapman to talk about the amazing offensive roll the Canucks are on. The writers get into what has made such a big difference on the team, who the difference makers have been and what fans can expect to see over the next month and beyond. Why is this team on such a tear, and how much can coach Travis Green and GM Jim Benning take credit for in this version of the Vancouver Canucks? Listen to The White Towel podcast every week by subscribing to us via Apple Podcasts.

NHL.com Canucks reporter Kevin Woodley joined Brook & Karen to discuss the reports of an impending extension for GM Jim Benning.

This week's White Towel podcast opens with talk of expectations squarely on the shoulders of injured rookie Quinn Hughes, potential for the Canucks to make moves at the NHL Entry Draft, Travis Green's pitch to be the bench boss going forward, and why GM Jim Benning might be out of a job by the end of the season.

Ed Willes joins Paul Chapman to discuss the litany of Canucks injuries. Is this a product of bad luck or are the Canucks doing something wrong to have so many players on the IR, with Jake Virtanen being the latest. With the looming trade deadline they also examine what to expect from the Canucks and GM Jim Benning at the trade deadline.   They then examine the Canucks blueline and are Erik Gudbranson and Derek Pouliot scapegoats or really that bad? Ed has some thoughts on how Gudbranson can be used to still be of value to the Canucks, and he also expounds on how much Quinn Hughes changes the whole equation for the Canucks next season.   Ed also illuminates on the Canucks gameday experience, and if what the reaction would be in Vancouver if they participated in the post-win antics that are causing such a fuss in Carolina.

Mike and Jason take a deep dive into the Canucks with GM Jim Benning, and discuss What We Learned

Paul Chapman is joined by Ed Willes to talk about the progress made by the Vancouver Canucks this season.
