4.5 out of 5 stars from 468 ratings
  • Must listen

    Listened to an episode two years ago for flames commentary, stayed for the “professionalism”.

    Hockey is the only sport I follow but I still listen to every episode. Keep up the good work!

  • Listened for 10 min

    These two sound like two junior high boys with a mic before the morning announcements at school. Inside jokes and constant trying to be funny with immature giggling. Stick to sports -

  • So great

    Listen every drive in and catch the rest at night working in garage. The three of them are so great together. Pinder went from being a mediocre sheep auctioneer to one of my favourites. We are lucky in Calgary to have this show and not unlike others things unique to this city, it’s great here and hard to say if it would work in any other market.

Mike Commodore Joins the Show!
Q: Looking at your hockey DB, Paige, you played in a couple spots Commie. Wanted to ask you about player empowerment right now. Do you like all of these guys trying to play together and all this player empowerment?
I think I'm torn. I do like it as a concept because players should have some movement, but I also think the details of no-trade clauses and how trades are handled need adjustment to balance teams and players.
Ryan Getzlaf + Lock of the Day!
Q: What was it like watching the Olympic gold medal game in the box, and how did that affect your view on management roles?
He explains the emotional instability of watching a game with no control, the experience shaping his interest in management, and the respect for the behind-the-scenes work that goes into national team decisions.
