In the wake of the latest disaster loss for the Canucks, Matt and Blake deal with a boiling over fanbase, the benching of Miller and Boeser, and how the Canucks might rise from the ashes with still a half season to go. Jeff Marek joins from The Sheet with a few defensive targets that could help the Canucks defend off the rush, and they chat about possible destinations for both JT Miller and Brock Boeser. Then it’s Jeff Paterson from RinkWide Vancouver with a deep dive on the game, a disinterested group of star players, a management group that has gone into hiding, and a coaching staff that has run out of answers – especially on the powerplay. All that, plus more Lions news, and the Jays might actually add players?!
Check out the latest episode of ‘Down to Irf’ on the Nation Network. Latest episode drops on the Canucks Army YouTube channel Thursday morning at 9am PT.

100 percent. Trade him right ducking now
JT…all you have to do is grow up and be a man, not just the alpha act of one
What if JT is just not enjoying hockey anymore and is considering retirement after the 4 Nations. A change of scenery might be nice for the player, but he has a no trade because he loves his family in Vancouver. His life is enjoyable outside of his job and he doesn't have a shortage of money. Think of the person and not just the team. That's quite possibly what the mental health leave was about. He has family and life to think about that is a higher priority than hockey. I would totally respect his decision if he chooses to retire and focus on family. He wouldn't be the first top player to make those heavy decisions. Even another leave and LTIR might be the best decision. He hasn't gotten a lot of compassion from his first leave for personal reasons and it wasn't very long. A perfect example would be Patrick Laine taking a leave after clearly not enjoying playing hockey. Give the guy some time. LTIR and let him return when ready, trade for a prospect as Columbus did with Laine if it's not going to work long term. Just give the guy some time to figure out his life. Don't expect a lot in return. It's a contract dump if best case scenario in Vancouver isn't going to work. Do what's best for the person. Columbus and Montreal did it for Laine. It's his mental health. And it's a risk for the team picking him up.
Playoff teams need more high quality Canadian players
is JT's problem the same as it was when he took 9 games off? if it mental, shouldn't he step away for awhile.
if it is a permanent problem, cut bait and move on.
I've been listening to you two for quite a number of years and I gotta say. Hearing Mat drop F bombs is always a surprise 😂 I like it don't get me wrong. Definitely not used to hearing it
"Celebrate or Commiserate" night at Greta Bar
Doesn’t he deserve to wait til this season ends. I think someone is going to be added that will really help and JT will again play to his capabilities as he heals
Ok wat happens if they turn up against the coilers and win
Gotta trade JT asap to see if Petey responds and gets back to an 11.6 player. If he doesn't then unload Petey before his ntc kicks in.
Get Schenn back to punch JT in the face
why would u trade him now?
he will only get
more valuable as the trade deadline comes and teams that are close, overpay at the deadline.
what if he is in fire during 4 nations ? wait til the deadline gets closer
4 games ago against the habs, hes mvp.
take a breath boys, hes not going anywhere for a month at least
bring back team tank !!
I'm sorry, did I hear you say that Vancouver might be the smartest hockey market there is?? As a lifelong Canucks fan, that's as absurd as suggesting JT for Bedard straight up.
