  • 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.

Franky Hockey's Frank Seravalli & Detroit Red Wings Interim GM Shawn Horcoff (10/26/26)
Q: How important was it for you guys to get Alex DeBrincat extended long term?
Shawn Horcoff says keeping DeBrincat was a priority because he is a consistent high-end goal scorer and a strong leader whose work ethic and energy set an example for younger players.
Franky Hockey's Frank Seravalli & Detroit Red Wings Interim GM Shawn Horcoff (10/26/26)
Q: Do the Oilers have enough competitive players in their bottom six right now?
Frank Seravalli says Edmonton could use more size and that players need to earn Mike Babcock's trust, but he is less concerned than Bob Stauffer. He suggests that players can naturally ease off when a team's lineup improves.
Oilers Radio Network Analyst Rob Brown (10/21/26)
Q: And how does this team change with the return of R&H?
Brown says Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' return should improve the power play and give Edmonton a legitimate second line, while adding a trusted player who can handle varied situations.
Oilers Radio Network Analyst Rob Brown (10/21/26)
Q: Is he making you a believer? Rob, should we be believing? Should we be buying here on Devin Levi?
Brown says the sample size is small, but Levi has an opportunity to become Edmonton's number one goalie. He points to Levi's calm confidence, quickness, play-reading and ability to move the puck quickly.
Hockey Blogger Bruce Curlock (10/22/26)
Q: How has [Tommy LaFrenier] started the year?
Curlock says LaFrenier is producing at a point-per-game pace and has been trusted as Western Michigan's third-line center. He highlights his increased size, skating strength, and improved defensive responsibility.
