Expansion Podcasts, Hoglander, and OH YEAH! Pet...
<p>This week's episode had a bit of a twist. Unfortunately, Brady wasn't able to join us but like a good host, he had a back up ready to go. &nbsp;Pete Edwards aka @pete_gas from @CanucksSpeak was in town and joined us to chat... but we're not going to tell you when so you'll have to listen to the whole thing.</p><p>It's been a few weeks since we recorded so we tried to catch up on everything that we could remember (how good is Tanner Pearson right now?). We go heavy on Hoglander, some more Virtanen love, what Quinn Hughes is doing for the Canucks that just isn't normal, and then it gets heated.</p><p>We welcomed our expansion podcast cousin for Dudes and Guys and I'm not gonna lie, things went off the rails during this segment.&nbsp;</p><p>Ryan also drops a truth bomb that was pretty awesome!&nbsp;</p><p>Please have a listen, rate it, review it, subscribe if you haven't on your fav pod catcher and if you don't follow us already, here's the deets:</p><p>@bkursel23</p><p>@tee3ree</p><p>@always90four</p><p>@thepp1podcast</p>

Linden, Losing, and the Jake-yard Dog
<p>The final PP1 podcast before Christmas and the last one until January. We went a bit long again this week, sorry not sorry. A good portion of this week's episode is a group rant and we go all-in on the problem that is the Vancouver Canucks. We cover our Dudes and Guys of the week (almost forgot), our personal memories of Trevor Linden, a dash of Christmas cheer, the continual praise of Jake Virtanen and Ryan drops a ridiculous trade idea that... just might work.</p><p>Please rate, review, and subscribe. Let us know where you're listening from ie: Canada, US, Australia, Peru. &nbsp;Have a Merry Christmas, folks! See ya in 2020.</p><p>#Canucks #pp1podcast #linden #jakeyarddog #schallernothing</p>

Taco Bout Canucks All Stars and Special guest: ...
<p>We ran long this week but it was so worth it. Ryan rants about the Heritage Classic goaltending decision in 2013, we talk about All-Star possibilities, Dudes and Guys of the week (spoiler alert: Brady comes to his senses), &nbsp;Antoine Roussel's impact, Sportsnet's starting lineup gaff, &nbsp;and some Ring of Honour discussion.</p><p><br></p><p>THEN, we land the most popular guy on Twitter/YouTube: Clay Imoo or Canuck Clay as he's known. What a dude he is! We discuss the heavy-hitting topics like the bottle flipping video, bowling, haikus, playoff aspirations, our shared love of the Canucks on social media and IRL and the big question: When will Clay sing the national anthem at a Canucks game? All that and more this week on The PP1 Podcast</p><p>#canucks #canuckclay #thepp1podcast #tacos #joshleivo</p>

All Burrows and No Churros
<p>We ran a short bench this week with Brayden out in Vancouver galavanting at the Canucks game with fellow podcasters whilst taking in the Alex Burrows Ring of Honour ceremony. &nbsp;Antoine Roussel is back in a big way, Adam Gaudette has become a reliable piece of the puzzle, Quinn Hughes ROY? Maybe.</p> <p>Lots of Burrows talk, Guys and Dudes of the week and another Skate jersey game???? Will the Sabres rock their 50th-anniversary retros as well?</p> <p>Ryan spends a moment speaking about that.&nbsp;</p> <p>Olli Juolevi is back in Utica and might even get a sniff at some NHL action soon.</p> <p>Is Loui Eriksson a viable 2nd liner?</p> <p>All this and more on the current episode of Diners, Drive-ins and.... wait. THE PP1 Podcast!</p>

Canucks Poppin Power Play
<p>This week we had TWO shows: One with Quadrelli and our normal gong show. We touched on Quinn Hughes potentially eclipsing Pettersson's rookie record, our dudes and guys of the week, how insane the Canucks/Penguins game was, the re-emergence of Nikolay Goldobin.</p> <p>The Canucks are getting healthier so what will the lineup look like? We touch on that topic, some potential trade chips, the Comets skate jersey and a bunch of other stuff.</p> <p>Tune in and enjoy the next hour of Canucks talk that is slightly educated but fun.</p> <p>#canucks #pp1podcast #quinnhughes #poppin</p>

Super Special Interview w/ David Quadrelli
<p>The PP1 Podcast was lucky enough to get "Quadrelli" on the show this week and he had a lot to say. We asked him about being the first overall pick for The Botchford Project, his "reasons" articles, the Quinn Hughes piece on Canucks.com, his welcome to the NHL moment and we grilled him on his favourite DQ blizzard.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lots of great Canucks talk and a must listen.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ryan also confused the heck out of him with a dodgeball decision: take out Canucks Army or The Canuck Way?</p> <p><br></p> <p>An absolute honour to host David Quadrelli at the Canuck Way and Canucks Army. Make sure to follow him on the twitters and the instas.</p> <p>#Canucks #pp1podcast #quadrelli #thecanuckway #thebotchfordproject #dq #</p>

The Upside Down Canucks
<p>We run a little long this week but it was worth it. We dive into the evolution and arrival of Adam Gaudette (didn't we do this last week?), debate about Jacob Markstrom and what does he need to get back into the win column, Bo Horvat's astronomical ice time, the 2016 Free Agency disaster around the league.</p> <p>Our Dudes and Guys segment is once again epic and Ryan owns it as usual.&nbsp;</p> <p>We also take a look at how the Canucks can solve their goal-scoring slump and Ryan revisits his proclamation regarding the Skate jersey game against Colorado and what the Canucks will be this season.</p> <p>It's episode 11, the stranger things episode. We even recorded a little video on twitter.</p> <p>Rate, Review, and subscribe. We'll give you a shout out. #canucks #thepp1podcast #podcast #kelowna</p>

Canucks, The Playoffs, Peanut Butter Oreo Blizz...
<p>Back at it for episode nine! We go heavy into the Canucks chances at the playoffs this season, why the Canucks are the "Center" of attention and more love for rookie Quinn Hughes. &nbsp;Guys and Dudes are pretty impressive this week with a few surprising candidates yet again. Also, Ryan gets back into his plea for the Canucks to use the goaltenders as a true tandem/rotation instead of a 1a/1b.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>We're almost at episode 10 and we ask that you rate, review, and subscribe.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>We have some cool things planned down the road which we'll get into as the following grows. You'll want to hear this when it's time.</p> <p><br></p> <p>BTW, that peanut butter/oreo blizzard option is aces.</p> <p><br></p>

Beautiful Day in The Faberhood
<p>This week we posted a spooky episode early because of Halloween. We give our picks for who has "tricked" us this season on the Canucks and who has been a "treat". Chris Faber from Canucks Conversation and Canucks Army joins us for a solid 30 minutes about pretty much everything going on with the Canucks, AHL TV, and what it's like to be the guest instead of the host.</p> <p>We dive a bit deeper into the goalie "controversy" that seems to be brewing once again and Ryan isn't thrilled about it. &nbsp;The PP1 Podcast AND Chris Faber have a conversation mid-game as the Canucks were taking on the Kings, a game which saw Brock Boeser net his 3rd career Hat-trick!</p> <p>Ryan stands by his guy status for Elias Pettersson from a week ago but concedes it was there to fire him up.</p> <p>A beautiful day in the Faberhood was indeed... beautiful.</p> <p>Check out Chris Faber @ChrisFaber39 and @CanucksConvo</p> <p>As usual, the guys:</p> <p>@Bkursel23</p> <p>@Tee3ree</p> <p>@always90four</p>

Arm Pits and Hat Tricks
<p>Lucky no. 7! This week PP1 goes off on the tandem of Jacob Markstrom and Thatcher Demko and how amazing they have been so far, the inevitable Adam Gaudette demotion, buzzin Bo Horvat, Ted's thumb wrestling adventures, and an unlikely candidate for Canucks Guy of the Week (this is not a good thing)</p> <p>Check the guys out on Twitter:</p> <p>@Bkursel23</p> <p>@alway90four</p> <p>@tee3ree</p> <p>@ThePP1Podcast</p>

An Interview with Orland Kurtenbach
<p>The first-ever Captain of the Vancouver Canucks, Orland Kurtenbach, allowed the guys from PP1 to share some time with him and he shared a fraction of memories with us but there was so much more to tell. Ranging from his start with the Canucks, owning a driving range and enjoying some fish and chips to a few memorable moments with the late Pat Quinn and the time he was gifted a Husky at a Canucks game on Yukon Night.&nbsp;</p><p>Kurt, as he likes to be called, was as open as a book and hopefully, this isn't the last time we chat with him. It sounds like there a few stories he wouldn't mind sharing in the future.</p><p>Essentially an uncut interview, we hope you enjoy it as much we did. What a man, what a Canuck!</p><p>#canucks, #orlandkurtenbach, #kurt, #yukonnight, #patquinn</p>
