On today’s show, Bik Nizzar and Jamie Dodd dive deep into Day 1 of Canucks training camp in Penticton. Riq Woolen from the Seattle Seahawks joins us to talk about the team’s defensive identity, how they prepare for fast offenses, and why Geno Smith is not just a player, but a leader. Thatcher Demko opens up about his rare injury, expressing confidence in a full recovery but with no set timeline. We discuss his load management and whether the Canucks should seek a veteran goalie to support him. Jonathan Lekkerimaki gets a big opportunity alongside Elias Pettersson, highlighting the need to give young talent a real chance to succeed.
