  • Leave Politics out of hockey!

    Honestly, I’m tired of hearing all these Canadian liberals talk about politics in hockey! Please just talk about the great game we love and leave it at that

  • Great Show

    The best hockey show. Frank and Jason are well informed, have great chemistry, and cover interesting topics. Frank’s bluntness and honesty are refreshing.
