  • Good Habs show.

    Another good show, gentlemen, happy remembrance Day to you too. I have my poppy and when I lecture my students, I make sure to wear it so they see it as well.

    Previous review:

  • Fix the ads

    It’s unacceptable to have the ads in the middle of the content, mid-sentence half the time. If you must have ads, play a jingle or tell us we’re going to hear ads. I’m tired of ads popping up mid-thought. It ruins the show.

    Newer listener here, so maybe this has been covered before, but the poor audio quality really takes away from the overall quality of the work. I really enjoy the discussions and insight, but the low quality audio makes it almost unlistenable at times. That, along with some frequent mispronunciations(Czechia) and the frequent forgetting of seemingly common Habs info (Mesar with Kitchener and Slaf with Erie) does also take away at times. Perhaps some prep notes to show knowledge on topics would ad... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2026 NHL Entry Draft Preview Show - January Update
Q: What are you seeing or hearing for traits from NHL teams that they're valuing more this draft season?
NHL teams are valuing no small defensemen and sub six foot defensemen are a thing of the past. They've moved towards prioritizing players with size and skill.
