The Canucks Army Podcast Episode 4: The Used Car Salesman of NHL Franchises

Whoa, hey there loyal listeners (all three of you), we’re a bit late with the podcast this week. Actually I’m a bit late, there were some extenuating circumstances with the editing and uploading, blah blah blah. Anyways, this episode was recorded last Tuesday and now it’s Sunday, which would make it a bit out of date, but it’s the off-season, and nothing has really happened since Tuesday morning, so we’re pretty much all good!
This week we dove headlong into the NHL’s coaching carousel, as well as some discussion on the futures of the Stanley Cup winning Penguins and the runner up Sharks. Also, I did some research about Rollie Melanson and learned some new things. Finally, we tried to sort out all the goaltenders that the Canucks have signed for next year.. there’s a lot!
Come have a listen! And once again, we’re on Soundcloud and iTunes, and downloadable from both. Subscribe, rate, rant, whatever you need to do.

Otherwise, let us know what you think about this episode, and go rate us on iTunes or something. Just remember, we think you’re all very handsome (or pretty).
