  • New hosts the good & the bad

    I’ve been a loyal listener to the show since around episode 80. As much as I miss Frank on the show I really do like both Marek & Rupper. They each bring different things to the table from Mikes playing days insight and Mareks experience in the media world. Jason has always been alright. A little bit too serious but he’s alright keep up the good work Jason. I enjoy the Gregor/Rupp Friday show a little more only because Gregor/Marek both being longtime hosts tends to clash with both attempting to... more

  • Missing Frank

    This WAS the best hockey podcast going with Frank/Gregor. Their banter back and forth made this a must listed to pod every week. Really miss not having Frank part of the dfo group.

It’s just not good radio and exact opposite of what this pod used to be. Fridays with Rupp are much better and he’s been a gre... more

  • Frank ?

    Marek is great for long form shows (like The Sheet) but gosh, every time he joins Jason here I groan. Rupp has been great. But.. Frank ? Where’d he go ?

  • Get rid of Jeff Marek

    Jeff Marek is ruining your podcast with all these old irrelevant stories nobody cares about. And It drives me insane when he constantly interrupts everyone. Love the show otherwise but I ain’t listening to any episodes with Marek. Bring back Frank.
