  • From 5 stars to 3 stars

    Dan left, negative Bik came in. The show is spiraling. Used to be one of my favorites to listen to. Can’t hardly finish an episode anymore. Bik needs to stop talking so much. All he does is whine and complain and bash everyone. It gets old. We know the season sucks. But yeah go ahead and keep pounding that into our heads. Won’t be listening for a while. Hopefully you find a good replacement for Dan…he’s missed.

  • Refuse to listen to segments featuring MAGAt fascist Saravelli. He is a shameless Trump fan and defended Cash Patel, deserves ZERO hits of Canadian radio!

  • Best hockey show around

    These legends of radio for hockey nuts like me, #factsonly that’s their show! And apart from the odd water bottle mishap and mishap with co-hosts names, just a great bit of entertainment

  • Great show!

    I especially love Dan Riccios coverage of any and all Canucks Italian relations. Very very very thorough Italian coverage. If you need to know how to pronounce provolone or lasagna. Or even a soccer players name?! He’s got you covered. Don’t know what Sat does. But Italian Dan is great!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Full Coverage: Round 1 of the 2026 NHL Draft
Q: What influenced the Canucks' decision to pick Caleb Malholtra third overall?
The Canucks prioritized character, progression, size, and two-way ability, with Malholtra seen as a frontline, versatile center who could develop into a core piece for the rebuild, despite questions about immediate offensive ceiling.
Todd Harvey Recaps the Canucks Picks
Q: How important was the two-way game in evaluating Adam Novotny?
The coaches emphasized that Novotny's two-way game, maturity, and willingness to play in all situations were crucial for projecting long-term NHL usefulness, making him a core part of their forward group for the future.
Todd Harvey Recaps the Canucks Picks
Q: What stood out about the OHL this year for the Canucks' draft prospects?
The panel notes that while the OHL delivered some top-end talent, the overall depth outside the top players was stronger than in some other leagues, which influenced Vancouver to value size, skating, and two-way ability to balance an earlier focus on elite skill.
2026 Draft Prospects Supercut
Q: What was important to you this season in terms of development?
Players spoke about becoming more reliable, improving skating and two-way play, and stepping up when needed, while also managing expectations and staying focused on the draft journey.
Player Empowerment and Drafting Upside
Q: What makes the third overall pick so pivotal for the Canucks?
The third pick is pivotal because it can determine the core direction of Vancouver's rebuild, offering a high-ceiling player who could anchor the franchise for years, and because the top end of the draft is tightly clustered, making the choice highly consequential.
