This week on the show that can barely read, mate, the Real Good Boys get back to their roots with some hardcore, post-Trade Deadline discussion/depression about the Canucks. John moderates a discussion of the team's direction with Stefan and Justin, who grow increasingly despaired and try to decide if the Canucks will win a Cup while any of us are alive. PLUS: Roger Ebert! Building a statue of ourselves! Action figures! And the return of Steven Adams to Clip of the Week!

The Canucks decided to give Jim Benning three more years as GM, so we decided to revive the aggrieved hockey talk you once knew and loved from us. The Athletic's Justin Bourne joins to discuss why extending Jim Benning is like re-electing George W., the prospect-starved history of Vancouver, the spectre of meddling ownership, the enduring struggle of hockey culture against forward progress, and the role of toughness in today's NHL. It was a dang treat having him on. This is but a taste.
