  • Hockey and the hobby

    Sal and Tim are putting out what is consistently my favorite hockey podcast. I was drawn to it for the collecting aspect, but I enjoy when they just cover general hockey news as well since we wouldn’t be in the hobby if it wasn’t for the sport. So much discussion about the hobby online comes from folks that have only been around in the Upper Deck exclusive era so I appreciate their perspective going back to the old days with Topps, Fleer, Donruss, etc. Always a good listen.

  • Discrepancy in Hosts

    Sal is wonderful, joyous, full of detailed stories. Tim is so flat in affect and lacking energy. He often just dismisses or is nonplussed by Sal’s points and then offers something unoriginal and says it multiple times using slightly different words. The info is awesome and I will listen just for Sal. Step it up, Tim!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fanatics Fest NYC 2025
Q: How mad are all the people from New York that the team from where their grandparents retired won the Cup?
It felt like a regional East Coast show, with most fans showing loyalty more to local teams like the Rangers and much of the excitement surrounding hockey part was overshadowed by celebrity presence.
Fanatics Fest NYC 2025
Q: What was the buzz with all the sports fans over this amazing Stanley Cup playoffs we just witnessed?
