  • 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!

  • Great content when they show up

    Who is in charge of producing this podcast? I LOVE Arace and Hedger but man 1-2 podcasts month if you’re lucky is not going to cut it. It’s frustrating as a fan to subscribe and then stat wantingly into the vast emptiness of episodes. It feels like the Dispatch is responsible for the lack of production since the digital edition of the newspaper is a mess as well. If this even had a paltry one day a week - on the same day maybe - release it would bring this up to 4 stars.
