The People’s Show

On this episode of The People’s Show, Bik Nizzar and Jamie Dodd dive deep into the Vancouver Canucks' goaltending situation. They discuss Thatcher Demko’s injury concerns, how the team has managed his workload, and the possibility of Arturs Silovs stepping up as a true #1 goalie. The duo also explores the long-term future for Demko as a free agent in 2026, and whether the Canucks should be cautious about offering a lengthy extension. In the second segment, Bik and Jamie focus on the importance of the opening games in the NHL season. From the Canucks' first 10 games to the potential pitfalls for teams like Edmonton if they start slow, the hosts provide insights on what early-season performance could mean. They also touch on Brock Boeser’s upcoming contract and the challenges of replacing his chemistry with J.T. Miller in the lineup.
