  • Top podcast for CBJ fans

    Excellent pod for the Union Blue. A blend of quick fire banter, critical information, and terrific insider perspective of CBJ and the broader NHL.

  • Inability to correctly pronounce names

    These two have no ability to correctly pronounce names and come across as totally uninformed. Once Portzline left this podcast went to trash.

  • Great Info but Painful

    Hedger’s constant ramblings and interruptions are hard to listen to. He has good opinions but rambles on and on. Can you just edit yourself a little? I appreciate all the great info though.

  • True local CBJ Coverage

    These guys are local and great CBJ honest reporters. There’s no sugarcoating the topics, and they have a strong sense of CBJ history. There’s few CBJ pods that truly know the history well, are passionate about it, and yet able to analyze the team in a realistic way. It’s definitely a Pro Jackets podcast, but they hold the players accountable for their actions (or lack thereof) on & off the ice. Go Jackets!
