  • Focus on hockey

    You spend too much time sharing opinions on MSL and trying to find management’s gotcha moments and not enough of actual hockey analysis.

  • 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.
