  • Lowest common denominator

    I listen to just about every podcast about the Canadiens, french and english. This podcast is like listening to facebook comments. They do not know more than you about this team, they have no insights and they seem to do nothing more than just scan the aggregator sites and spew drivel for an hour+.

  • If you like negativity this podcast’s for ya !

    Always on the negative side, seriously doubting their hockey knowledge at this point. It’s the third time I stop listening for a couple a weeks. Every time I try to give them another chance, I can’t believe my ears. Great podacast for people who love to complain. The Juraj Slafkovsky episode was too much for me. Couldn’t believe their take on him. Ever heard of corsi ? Or xgoal f/a ? Certainly seems like they always go for negative take for clics.

  • Too little content

    I wanted to like this podcast but there’s so much fluff. The episode I listened too it was over six minutes in before they actually said anything about hockey. Six minutes of ads and lengthy hellos, is at least four minutes too much. And then when they did start to talk it was a slow recap of past games, then a bit about who was called up, then personal stuff about hockey jerseys. … To the people who make this, FWIW... I’m tuning in to hear something interesting and insightful about the team,... more
