These guys are not afraid to speak their mind. Respect 💪🏻
This podcast isn’t well known, at least I didn’t hear about it until I scroll down into the Hockey section. After listening, I have to say it’s one of the best on the Sabres and the NHL. Intelligent takes on Hockey and surprisingly nuanced movie reviews how about that?
