On today’s episode of Canucks Conversation, Sportsnet 650’s radio play-by-play man Brendan Batchelor joined the show to chat about all the latest news surrounding the Vancouver Canucks.
We talked about the current state of the Canucks’ goaltending situation, along with the recent news of Jack Rathbone and Vasily Podkolzin’s assignment to the Abbotsford Canucks.
And as the Canucks get set to host Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals this evening, we also asked Batch about how surreal it is for him to call games of some of the greatest players to ever play the game, and the likes of who Batch grew up watching.
