After a huge weekend for both teams inside BC Place, there's so much for Matt and Blake to unpack today! They get into a sold out lower bowl match for the Whitecaps as Thomas Müller makes a 2nd half debut and nearly scores the game winner. They go over the atmosphere, the performance on the pitch, and whether it's reasonable to think he could help them win an MLS Cup. The guys also get into some hockey, as Luke Hughes remains unsigned in New Jersey, and begin to dream of a massive overpay to re-unite Luke and Quinn via trade. Patrick Johnston of Postmedia stops by for a chat on the Müller arrival and how he thinks it's gone so far, both on and off the pitch. PJ also weighs in on the neverending search for a Canucks 2nd line centre, and on the far fetched idea of the Canucks acquiring Luke Hughes rather than the other way around. Then it's Whitecaps legend and current club liason Bob Lenarduzzi on the historic debut of Müller and the comparisons he sees of the German to Whitecaps of yesteryear. Bob gets into the fit on the roster, and how he'll adapt to MLS and different level of play from his former global powerhouse at Bayern Munich. Then the guys finish up with a look back at a 2nd straight win for the Lions and an impressive performance for Rourke. Plus, the full baseball story and Scheffler wins on the PGA tour... again!

The Sheet's Jeff Marek injects some hockey talk as well, the guys debate how the NHL might be able to add something to the August calendar to keeps fans engaged. They also look at the recent Canucks topics of EP40's "revenge" season, the signing of Kravtsov, and the possibilities of Zacha or Mittelstadt from Boston. Then it's a visit from Whitecaps co-owner Jeff Mallet, talking about the genesis of the Müller acquisition, what it does for the team's marketability, and how it affects the possibilty of a new stadium and ownership change.

With the Canucks needing a centre, and the Bruins reportedly getting interest in a pair of their guys, Matt and Blake debate the fit and likely cost for Vancouver. The guys get into the recent performance of both Mittelstadt and Zacha, and which one would work best. Then it's the latest on the Whitecaps "ref-gate", as MLS rescinds the actions of referee Tim Ford, but can't give them points back. Plus, Thomas Müller begins catering his social media account to Whitecaps fans as he boards the plane ahead of Thursday's unveiling. Rob Williams of the The Daily Hive stops by with his takes on the Elias Pettersson revenge tour, plus some possible intel on EP40's summer romance?! Rob also has updates on ticket prices for the Canucks season, and the slow and steady seat replacement project. He also jumps into the poll question on the 2 Bruins centres and has his own predictions on the Müller effect with the Whitecaps. BC Lions President Duane Vienneau stops by in studio as well and talks about the start of the season for the team, the progress at the box office, and the plans for next season when the World Cup comes to town. He reveals how many home games will be played outside of BC Place, and whether they've had any talks with the Whitecaps about sharing an outdoor stadium. Then the guys wrap up with the latest Lions news on the field, and the full baseball report on the Jays, Mariners and Canadians!
