Rink Wide Vancouver

Sad news to begin this episode, as the Canucks released a statement about the passing of Brock Boeser's father Duke. JPat and Wadden give their condolences to the Boeser family, with Jeff reminiscing on what Duke meant to Brock and the entire Canucks organization.

Patrick Johnston from Post Media/The Province joins for his weekly chat, expanding on a tweet that JPat sent out in regard to Vancouver's lack of prospects chosen particularly out of the BC-based WHL teams. PJ dives deeper into the fact that the WHL is steps behind many other leagues in the world in developing NHL caliber prospects in the deeper rounds of the NHL draft. The boys then go over some of Jim Rutherford's comments that he made on Donnie & Dhali from Friday. 

The show wraps with a look back at the Oilers big game 5 win in the BOA, eliminating the Flames from the Stanley Cup playoffs, while previewing game 6 between the Avs and Blues.
