Jan 21, 2026: Canucks' Dirty Dozen? Blueger returns vs Caps

As the Canucks try to avoid a 12th straight loss, Matt and Blake have the latest from the rink as Teddy Blueger makes his return to the lineup. The guys also point forward after the two trades so far and debate whether this management group looks poised to make the right moves in a rebuild. Also, do you care if this is the last career visit from Alex Ovechkin? Patrick Johnston of Postmedia drops by to discuss the role of the veterans going forward. PJ gets into comments of Adam Foote on the vets, who needs to step up, and who might be the problem. He also reviews the return in the Sherwood trade and whether Foote's system has any chance of paying dividends down the road. Then it's TSN's Frank Corrado with his own personal account of playing for a 32nd place team with disillusioned veteran players. Frankie also talks about the kind of vets you keep around in a rebuild, trading away Sherwood, and his own Olympic dreams being dashed by Team Italy! All that, plus an early look at the Seahawks and Rams, the CPL might change the offside rule in soccer, and a rare Canadian win at this year's Aussie Open!
