PPP Podcast 21: Better Late than Never
January 22, 2014 01:19 - 30.8 MBWe're back! And maybe someday even on a consistent and regular basis! We're so damn enigmatic but hopefully when we do show up, we do bring our best. Today's podcast, while old, still holds up on the topics that we discussed which are (in no particular order so drumroll please): How hard it is to take Dion Phaneuf seriously with his funny voice. That one hit a little close to home The Leafs motto and the Raptors Talking about Jonathan Bernier and James Reimer Carlyle's brilliant coaching wh...

PPP Podcast 17: We're Suddenly on Schedule
March 06, 2012 08:32 - 12.6 MBWe're trying really hard to do this weekly, so to facilitate that we're shortening the podcast. We're trying to do about 20-25 minutes of interesting fresh content so that you can mainline it. Bet you didn't think you'd see another one of these so soon, eh? Our topics? What difference will Randy Carlyle make? Has Don Cherry finally lost it? Do you believe a word Burke says?
PPP Podcast 16: Ron Wilson Got Canned
March 03, 2012 03:10 - 17.4 MBPodcast episode 16 is alive just in time for Ron Wilson to get fired! We talked about canning him in the podcast and at the time (two weeks ago...) I still felt like Wilson didn't have a lot of talent around him. Two weeks and no points later I think I'm ok with him getting the boot. Look at our topics 1. Ron Wilson's job 2. This cold streak 3. Trade targets 4. Tim Connolly 5. The possible meltdown if the Leafs miss the playoffs. Possible meltdown? Ah to go back in time two weeks.

March 08, 2011 18:47 - 18.9 MBIn this episode of our moderately well received podcast I tried to let PPP and MF37 talk more. They didn't disappoint and offered up plenty of awkward silences.

PPP Podcast 10: Legalese
July 23, 2010 16:39 - 32.6 MBWhile PPP is on vacation we decided to replace him on the podcast with someone much smarter: mc79 of mc79hockey.com.

We also talked about the Leafs: his feelings about next season for the Blue and White, his take on the Kessel deal, and how Pension Plan Puppets has changed his opinion of Leafs fans.
