Olympic champion turned analyst Cheryl Pounder joins Sarah to discuss the Montréal Victoire and the Ottawa Charge’s battle for the Walter Cup, why it’s important to always keep your head up even when just watching games, and whether she thinks the women’s hockey pipeline is strong enough to sustain four new PWHL expansion teams. Plus, as close to overtime as it gets, knees are dumb, and something about it felt like home somehow.
