  • The Best

    As much pain and suffering as this hockey team gives me, I am glad that there is an amazing post-game show to listen to help rationalize many of my thoughts about this godforsaken hockey team. Thanks JD and Sam for all you do (being forced to watch them in full every night)! Cheers!
