From a park bench in view of the Garage and mischievous dogs, they offer a quick and sloppy off-season wrap-up, random preseason predilections and studious regular season prognostication as well as highly speculative playoff hunches.  Besides getting to know the many new Canucks, they discuss topics from Coach Glen Hanlon to the art of face-offs to GM Garth Snow.

The day after the last game of consequence of the Canucks season, Dave and Dan discuss what went wrong and what might happen in the off-season with help from tasty beers.  Plus banter on about playoff match-ups, upcoming amateur draft, and what to do with all the free time.
