The Broadscast

This week, we talk about the semi-final series between the Lightning and the Islanders and the Habs and the Golden Knights, and whether people should begrudge expansion teams for succeeding right away.  Then we get into whatever the fuck Ryan Kesler is doing (lol). 

Join the Broads this week to discuss where we are at in the playoffs, the new additions to the Canucks coaching staff, Vasily Podkolzin's wedding, the NHL saying "let's celebrate straight people!!" during Pride month, and the WAG jacket phenomenon. We also take some time to discuss the season premiere of The Bachelorette (41:45-1:02:30), if you don't watch it that's fine, just don't yell at us for...

Welcome to another week in Broadscast Land! This week we talk about the Leafs' first-round collapse and exit (again) and Naomi Osaka and mental health. Then we are joined by Juliana MacEwen and Zack MacEwen to discuss their new charity initiative, The My Biggest Fan Foundation! We chat with the two about the meaning behind the foundation, their focus on financial accessibility in hockey, and also,...

Join Mallory and Georgia this week to talk about what's happened so far in the playoffs, including: the Avs are good at hockey, the Canes are the team of the people, and the Ethan Bear situation. We are also joined later in the episode by Dr. Cheryl MacDonald to discuss the upcoming Hockey Conference and the academic side of the game. Enjoy, and make sure to leave us five stars and a review! 

"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;  we come to bury the Canucks, not to praise them." - Shakespeare, probably. Also we answer your Ask the Broads questions!

We discuss McDavid's journey to 100 points and Eichel's journey out of Buffalo. Later on we are joined by Clarissa @quinnsedgework to discuss her Botchford Project Experience! 

Join the Broads this week to talk about a myriad of things happening in the world of hockey. We start with our usual highs and lows (0:00-8:35) before transitioning into a conversation about the recent allegations of sexual misconduct made against Jake Virtanen ( CW/TW: sexual assault --8:35-31:10), other Canucks news (31:10-37:45), the Rangers vs Tom Wilson& George Parros saga (37:45-54:50),...

Georgia leaves Mal and Sam unsupervised, leading to some Quinn Hughes and Davo breaking Sittler's record chaos. Mio (@flyerswitch) stops by to talk about her hockey art, queer fans in hockey, and her Dallas Stars Pride merch. 

Join the Broads this week to talk about the Canucks' renewed playoff chances after their return from COVID, Patrick Marleau and Alex Edler being old, the rise and fall of the Superleague, and our campaign to get Jose Mourinho to come and coach in the NHL (just for fun!). Mallory also goes rogue and talks about Formula 1 for a while, which might be a cry for help, we are not sure?? Enjoy!

We are joined this week by Eleni (@strongforecheck) to talk about the NWHL, and then we talk about the Canucks' COVID situation and absurd return to play schedule, JT Miller's takedown of the plan, and the failures of the NHL and the NHLPA.  Plus, we recap the trade deadline.

Join us this week for the crossover event everyone has been waiting for! Jeff Paterson and Thomas Drance of The Athletic's VANcast drop in to join the Broads to discuss the Canucks COVID situation, the upcoming trade deadline, the ethics and limitations of sports journalism during the pandemic, and the lack of representation in the PHWA and sports media in general. As always, like, subscribe and l...

We're talking all about the Canucks' covid-19 outbreak (before we knew it was an outbreak), Connor McDavid's high hit, and our expansion cousin Buffalo Sabres' first win in 18 games. Our soap operas feature one Flyers beat reporter and we also discuss NHL's biggest headline of the week: its new Girl Dad™.

In yet another chaotic episode, we talk Canucks injuries(!), the impending trade deadline, the tirefire known as the Flyers, the Isobel Cup, and game management by referees.  We might have also taken a detour into talking about the Canucks' DJ.  We finish up with some incredible soap operas: Colten Teubert pretending to be a lawyer and going after friend of the pod Gaby for "libel and/or...

It's another glorious week in Broadscast land. Join us as we chat about Arsenal supremacy, the O'Canucks winning but still being kind of bad at hockey, headshots, and the Mika Zibanejad has arisen show. We also talk once more (le sigh) about that website as well as Grammy Award-winning puck bunny and known leafs stan Justin Bieber.

We cover a lot of ground in a short and sweet episode this week.  We start by talking about the Canucks and the Sabres, expansion cousins in misery.  We also talk about Jamie Benn being a Candace Owens stan, the NHL's dedication to hashtag activism, hockey media's addiction to unnecessary redemption stories, and the NHL pandemic baby boom.

In another chaotic episode, we're talking the Canucks tire fire and restart the #LoseFor(Luke)Hughes campaign. We also highlight the Sun being the NHL's worst nightmare during the Lake Tahoe games and discuss outdoor games in general. As for soap operas, we focus on Artemi Panarin's leave of absence and the complexity of Russian politics.

We're back with our usual chaos on this month's Ask the Broads! We dive into which Bennet (or as Vanessa would say, Benét) sisters we are and answer a couple more Pride and Prejudice-related questions. We also talk skin care routines, the Bachelor franchise, and Canucks arrival outfits.

Ciara McCormack, Canadian soccer whistleblower and founder of Girls Can Soccer, and Jessica Luther, freelance journalist and co-host of the Burn It All Down podcast, join us to discuss the Vancouver Whitecaps and Soccer Canada's handling of the multiple sex offences committed by coach Bob Birarda. Ciara details her thought process behind deciding to go public with her story, the community's respon...

Jim Benning doesn't get enough credit so we just wanted to say #ThankYouJim this week. We're also discussing all the Covid in the NHL and how they've failed their testing protocols. Finally, Bell Media sucks and we rant about their decision to eliminate TSN 1040. (sorry about the audio, #BlameIzzi)

Only for our two guests would we make an exception to our "no stats, just vibes" mantra. The Seattle Kraken's Namita Nandakumar and Katie Caldwell from Puck Talks and GALvanize join us to break down Super Bowl LV with Dani (because Sam and Vanessa don't know football). We discuss old man Tom Brady, how the Bucs can drop Tyreek Hill, and of course, make the easy case for Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs as...

It's another week in Broadscast land! We talk about the #FreePLD trade, the NWHL bubble, and in honour of the Canucks #HockeyTalks night, we delve into where our mental health is at during this wild time. Later we are joined by special guests Gaby and Ashley from the grassroots organization Hockey Fans for Change to discuss their Herb Carnegie campaign, their mission to transform hockey into a saf...

This week, we have a truly classic Broadscast episode: hockey, soap operas, and some fiery thoughts on men in sports.  We talk about the start of the hockey season, from Tony deplatformed to the Canucks' slow start.  In soap operas, we start light with Jakub Voráček annihilating Mike Sielski and do a deep dive into the legend of Dylan and Zach, before turning to Jared Porter, Mike Babcoc...

Satiar Shah of Sportsnet 650 joined us this week to preview the Canucks' upcoming season and give his thoughts on their offseason moves. We also ask what storylines he's tired of covering and whether or not the Canucks are a playoff team in the new Canadian division. And finally, we discuss his beloved Cleveland Browns and give him a space to air out his worries as a Chelsea F.C. supporter

This week, we are joined by Roman Josi and Mark Borowiecki of the Nashville Predators. The reigning Norris Trophy winner discusses life in Switzerland, whether he's actually never read a book, and The Bachelor.
