Sportsnet 650's play-by-play announcer Brendan Batchelor joins the show as the guys preview the Canucks’ upcoming six-game road trip. Who will step up, and who’s most important to the team’s success? They also debate whether it’s just a matter of time for Jake DeBrusk to find his game and discuss why Drance wants Pettersson to show a little “rah rah” on this trip. Later, NHL writer John Matisz from The Score weighs in on the Bruins’ coaching change, who’s next on the hot seat, the Canucks’ road trip challenges, and the state of the Pacific Division.
