Heading into Game 6...from a Canucks Perspective.

Shylo and Rob are back — Canucks dads, tired souls, and hockey truthers — breaking down the 2025 Stanley Cup Final through the eyes of long-suffering Vancouver fans.

In this episode:

• Why Nate Schmidt looks great again (spoiler: it's not us)
• Troy Stecher, Podkolzin, Forsling, and the long list of ex-Canucks still in it
• Edmonton’s fading depth and why Florida looks like a real Cup team
• Which version of the Canucks could’ve made noise this year?
• And yes, we discuss the emotional damage of watching former Canucks thrive elsewhere

Also: a little bitterness, some sarcasm, and a firm refusal to cheer for the Oilers — even if it’s “Canada’s team.”

Canucks lost to EDM in the Connor Garland / Connor McDavid "retribution game". All for a missed holding call. C'mon people get real.

But the real meat of this episode is:

"The Brock Besser Dilemma: Sign or Trade?"

Rob and Shylo explore the tough decisions surrounding Brock Besser's future with the Vancouver Canucks. As the team’s longest-serving player and a consistent scoring threat, Besser's value is undeniable. But with a roster facing age and salary cap challenges, should management sign him to a long-term deal or explore trade options for a rebuild? The duo discusses Besser’s role as a support player, his elite shot, and potential trade scenarios involving teams like Minnesota, Detroit, and Chicago. They also touch on team chemistry, mentorship opportunities for younger players, and the bigger picture of the Canucks' aging core.
