Reviews

4.4 out of 5 stars from 73 ratings
  • 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. Joe and Eric do a great job of mixing in-depth discussion, funny banter and data-driven analysis to create a premiere Rangers podcast. 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.

#84: Trade Up for Stenberg, Bid Farewell to Benoit Allaire
Q: If something crazy happens and they can get him later in the first round, that's great. I just really don't see it happening, nor do I necessarily think I see the case for it as much as Roberto and Snark do.
They acknowledge the off-board options but remain skeptical about taking Viggo Bjorck at five and emphasize sticking to high-probability picks.
#83: LIVE from Rangers Lottery Miseryville
Q: What do you think about the Rangers' odds and the likelihood of Caleb Malhotra landing at fifth overall?
The odds are volatile; while McKenna and Stenberg are largely considered top picks, Malhotra's spot at fifth seems plausible depending on how teams' needs shift, but there's skepticism about whether he'll rise to the fifth slot given other defensemen and tier-one players.
#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.
