The Canucks have weathered all sorts of injuries this season, largely because of the dependability of their top defence pairing of Alex Edler and Chris Tanev. Now Edler is injured and out for an undetermined length of time, leaving the defence in disarray and the Canucks’ season in jeopardy.
Daniel and Harrison discuss how Edler being out of the lineup will impact the Canucks, as well as the Canucks’ playoff hopes, where they make the startling discovery that the Canucks actually have a legitimate chance at finishing second in the Pacific Division.
They also talk about the recent uptick in scoring, particularly from the new look second line of Chris Higgins, Linden Vey, and Radim Vrbata, as well as Zack Kassian, Ronalds Kenins, and Bo Horvat. Then they get into the goaltending situation and wonder which of Ryan Miller, Eddie Lack, and Jacob Markstrom might get traded, whether at the trade deadline or later.
But before all that, they ponder the most important question in the history of mankind: is a hot dog a sandwich?
