Matt and guest co-host Patrick Johnston discuss the Canucks' 3-0 win over Colorado; the contributions of newcomers Filip Chytil and Drew O'Connor; the emergence of Elias Pettersson on defence; Thatcher Demko finding his groove; and the overall joy and vibe-improvement after two weekend trades. They also talk about the other Elias Pettersson, and whether he'll ever find his game.

Frank Corrado joins and declared he's the president of the Victor Mancini Fan Club. He gives us insight on Chytil, O'Connor and Marcus Pettersson; tells us Pettersson will eventually bounce back; analyzes the Canucks' style of play before/after the dealing; and discusses what a dressing room is like when so much change happens at once.

Laurence Gilman stops by and says the Canucks made out well with the trades, both in hockey and salary-cap senses. He evaluates Carson Soucy's standing with the organization and his value on the trade market. And he explains what he'd do to get Pettersson going.
