  • Great Podcast for hockey fans

    The hosts have done a great job investing in their equipment and following other successful podcasters to improve the show.

This season has been absolutely miserable for Rangers fans like me, but less so because every week I can listen to this podcast and get some insight into my favorite team. One time I asked a question that the hosts didn’t get to, and Joe rea... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#74: Trocheck Leverage, Fox Fallout, and Deadline Games
Q: On a scale of 1 to 10, how concerned are you about Fox leaving the Rangers?
The consensus is that Fox leaving is probable, with the panel valuing the return and timeline implications; some see it as a necessary trade for future assets, while others worry about the impact on the current contention window.
#73: Golden Goals, Whiskey vs. Milk Drinkers, and Trocheck’s Value
Q: How awesome is it to finally beat East Alaska?
It's gotta be at least a last season level of disappointment.
#73: Golden Goals, Whiskey vs. Milk Drinkers, and Trocheck’s Value
Q: Do you think Sullivan's milk drinker comment is going to be received by players who weren't on Team USA?
It doesn't help, but it doesn't hurt.
#67: Nobody Cares, Everybody’s Guilty, and the 10–2 Breaking Point
Q: Was it a mistake to name JT. Miller captain?
Yes, because he is experiencing maturity issues and hasn't provided the expected leadership.
#67: Nobody Cares, Everybody’s Guilty, and the 10–2 Breaking Point
Q: What should be the top priority to make the team a sustainable Stanley Cup contender?
You should trade to whoever gives you the best return.
