  • Why have guests

    Why bother having a guest on , when you answer your own questions. Especially when you have David Staples on you treat him very poorly, and really show your self centred bully mentality

  • Content great but formatting leaves a lot to be desired.

    I’d love to see you guys reformat content a little bit to fit the podcast format. I hate opening the app and seeing 4 or more clips for the same show. It makes me want to unsubscribe because it pushes my other podcasts down. You certainly aren’t the only sports radio program doing this which makes the issue worse in my view. Y’all please get together and figure this out.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

New Jersey Hockey Now's Daniel Amoia (8/24/26)
Q: Just how do you see this season playing out for the New Jersey Devils, and do you expect an uptick in performance?
The health of Jack Hughes is the single most important factor; beyond that, the Devils are better prepared with a deeper roster, a more favorable cap situation, and more tradable assets, which could allow them to improve and potentially contend as injuries stabilize.
Montreal Canadiens Radio Play-by-Play Victor Findlay (8/31/26)
Q: Victor, how would you summarize last season for Montreal given the young core and the rapid development you saw?
I'd say it was a rollercoaster with more ups than downs, a year of growth and learning for the young core, and clear signs that the players were starting to come into their own as the team pushed toward a higher level. It wasn't about short-term results alone but about the maturation and identity that Marty St. Louis has been guiding.
North State Journal Senior Editor & Carolina Hurricanes Beat Writer Cory Lavalette (8/31/26)
Q: What is the general approach to contracts and cap management for this Hurricanes team?
The team relies on a strategy of making big bets on players who fit system needs, using bridge deals for RFAs, and balancing analytics with pro scouting to maximize value under the cap.
North State Journal Senior Editor & Carolina Hurricanes Beat Writer Cory Lavalette (8/31/26)
Q: How did Carolina manage to stay near the top of the standings despite injuries?
Carolina benefited from depth, healthier later in the season, and strong goaltending in the playoffs, along with a front office that clearly built a flexible, adaptable roster.
Oilers Sportsnet Play-by-Play Jack Michaels (8/17/26)
Q: How do you see the deployment of both Conor McDavid and Leon Dreisaitl at the start of the year?
The guest expects them to be deployed together from the start as a foundational strategy, with Mike Babcock emphasizing a four-line approach to ensure all lines contribute, while still leveraging McDavid and Dreisaitl's elite production.
