Hailey Salvian, hockey writer and podcaster for The Athletic, joins Sarah to discuss why she thinks almost every PWHL team is a contender for the league championship, the secret behind Marie-Philip Poulin and Hilary Knight’s successes, and the reason she thinks the PWHL will choose two U.S. cities for expansion. Plus, we try to FedEx an ACL to southern California and we provide an array of excellent undercarriage euphemisms.
