Trade Talks Heating Up in Pahoenix feat. Cat Si...
<p>The guys are back with a full bench this week to discuss Canucks qualifying offers, Tyler Toffoli testing free agency, and just what to do with Jacob Markstrom.</p><p>There's talk of Marc-Andre Fleury being on the move which definitely would help the Canucks cap situation, their expansion draft situation and they could still sign Toffoli.</p><p>As the Canucks/Coyotes trade winds swirl, we tagged Cat Silverman to join us and talk not only the OEL to Van concept but the state of the Coyotes in general and why everyone should just chill their jets.</p><p><br></p><p>Lots to talk about in this one including a retro FedEx commercial that caught Cat off guard.</p>

EBUG's Life feat. Sarah Ayres
<p>2020 has been quite a year but if you predicted that David Ayres would suit up for the Carolina Hurricanes and WIN, you win the bingo card. His wife, Sarah, joined us to chat about her story, her perspective, and how her life has changed.&nbsp;</p><p>We chat a day in the life, Reuben sandwiches, leg day (whoops), regular life, the "tweet", and a little tidbit of info about where the Ayres story is headed next... maybe the silver screen?????</p><p>Sarah also discusses the importance of being a organ donor. Dave received a kidney from his mother 16 years ago and what a way to make a difference.&nbsp;</p><p>There's also a bit of a cool story about Dave's Upper Deck card and how Sarah could get her Patrick Roy rookie card back.</p><p>Season 2 hasn't disappointed yet.

Changing Diapers and The NHL. feat. Harrison Mo...
<p>This might be our most polarizing episode yet but it needed to happen. Harrison Mooney hopped on the PP1 Podcast to chat with Ted and Ryan about a topic that has been avoided for far too long: Racism. When the NBA players walked away from the game this week, the NHL took another day before they did the same in support of the fight against racism towards the Black community.</p><p>The NHL is usually late to the party on social issues so it's not a big surprise, but at the same time, they made a solid effort.&nbsp;</p><p>There wasn't a lot of hockey talk in this one but this is so much bigger than sports.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Get the conversation going.</p>

<p>We made it to 50! The editing was tedious but here we are. All three of our guests were a ton of fun.&nbsp;</p><p>The PP1 Podcast is now a part of the <a href="https://deanblundell.com/"><u>Dean Blundell Network</u></a> so expect big things to come from this.</p><p>First up, Ted and Ryan chat with Cat Silverman from The Athletic, Canucks Army, Elite Prospects... ok ok, enough. We get into all things goaltenders, Ted's eagerness to learn about Reverse VH (not the teriyaki sauce), and how a cool evening in Phoenix equates to 39 degrees celsius. YIKES!</p><p>Rich joins us in the two spot. We get into sports returning, how hockey has gone thus far, our man crushes and woman crushes, a story from the &nbsp;Canucks Training Camp in PG about a sweaty jock strap and then some heavy debate about the upcoming NHL Draft.</p><p>Finally, Brady and Ryan chat with the legend himself, Rick Dhaliwal of TSN 1040 fame. We discuss Adam Gaudette, Tyler Myers, the logjam on defense between Olli Juolevi, Jordie Benn, and Oscar Fantenberg, and Rick's favourite playoff memory.</p><p><br></p><p>Thanks for hanging around, we have more to bring in the next 50!</p>

<p>Brady and Ryan tackled this week's episode with Ted. Even though they released a postgame the night before there was plenty to chat about.&nbsp;</p><p>We dove into the Micheal Ferland situation and really what that ultimately means for his career, there was chatter about Jake Virtanen and Zack MacEwen in this series and SOMEHOW, we forgot to talk about Quinn Hughes the other night.</p><p>We talk about Quinn Hughes.</p><p>Dudes and Guys (brought to you by<a href="https://playerschoicesports.com/"><u><strong> Players Choice Sportscards</strong></u></a>) was fun and Ryan drops his guy of the week "but not for reasons you'd think".</p><p>We get into Tyler Myers and his impact and both Brady and Ryan get distracted by the Oilers/Blackhawks game on the TV. It was a real winner of a show.</p><p>Like, Subscribe, review, promote our show.</p><p>Don't forget to follow Players Choice YouTube page.
