  • Top Shelf Analysis of the Sabres

    I have been a regular listener for a few years and I feel that, as two ex-players, you are able to provide a deeper level of analysis of the Sabres players that you can’t find anywhere else.

    I also love the fact that you don’t follow a format or structure, which affords you the luxury of talking about whomever you want and for any length of time.

    I have learned so much about the players and their strengths/weaknesses from you both. I also appreciate how you provide opinion as well as analyti... more

    This is the best we can do for the Sabres? Too short a pod to even delve into anything seriously. The best part was Vanek as a guest and even he doesn’t want to be on it anymore. Horrible takes on just about anything (mostly from Peters, Craig was actually a legit player). Annoying to listen to them and how obviously MAGA the show is when all we want is intelligible hockey takes. Don’t bother with this one so many better pods out there. If I could give less than 1 star I would.

  • State of (the union) society

    Sabres talk; great. Politics; not great.

    I could elaborate but I know it would fall on deaf and dull ears. Hockey has a serious culture issue and you’re perpetuating the problem. (Instead of using your platform to change the narrative)

    It’s sad that this episode has tainted your entire body of work so far and I will not be listening in the future

  • Why so snarky?

    Love you guys but why is Andrew always so snarky and negative towards Craig? Not cool. This growing vibe is starting to diminish your show.
