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.

Stephen, Daniel, Jeremy, and Adrian break down the start of Canucks training camp — Tom Willander's offseason transformation, prospect scoring updates, and Luke Schenn's leadership presence — then debate who should wear the "C," dig into the crowded goalie situation (Tolopilo, Lankinen, Demko, Drieger), and weigh in on whether players who demand trades under contract should face a penalty.

Episode summary:
The guys open training camp coverage with notes on prospects standing out at Rogers Arena, including Tom Willander's added muscle and speed, strong preseason numbers from Jonathan Lekkerimäki-tier prospects like Novotny, Yavchenko, Medvedev, and Rogowski, and Luke Schenn's early leadership presence. That sparks a debate on whether Schenn deserves the captaincy or an alternate's "A," and how the letters should be handled for players like Elias Pettersson and Filip Hronek. The conversation shifts to goaltending — the crowded depth chart behind Thatcher Demko (recovering from a second hip surgery), Kevin Lankinen, Jiri Patera/Tolopilo, and PTO signee Chris Driedger — and whether Vancouver could benefit from claiming players off waivers given their draft position. They close with a wider NHL discussion on Connor Hellebuyck's trade request in Winnipeg, comparing it to the Roberto Luongo saga, and debate whether players who demand trades mid-contract should face consequences. Adrian also floats an idea from Thomas Drance for a summer rookie tournament to fill hockey's dead August, and the guys shout out the WHL streaming free on YouTube.
