  • Unknown greatness

    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?

    I would invite these guys to talk more about everything until the season starts

    It’s ok. I can’t get on board with them liking Star Wars The Last Jedi. So I’m going to have to stop listening.
