  • Might as well be called the Metro Hockey Show

    If you’re not a fan of TOR, MTL, NYI/R, PHI or CHI there’s nothing here for you. Absolutely nothing. Don’t bother hanging around to hear if they make time for your division leading team at the end. They won’t. I don’t think they’ll be happy know that there is a western conference, Canadian or American.

  • Woke idiots

    These podcasts are littered with woke idiot hosts with a few exceptions. Sean Gentile is a whiny douche who acts like he’s doing us a favor by gracing us with his presence . The other Sean can’t get over his TDS. Russo is the rare reasonable host.

  • Please talk about misogyny

    I love watching hockey, I listen to this show all the time, I’m grateful for the conversations and analysis and really want to keep enjoying this game. I feel like I’m going insane today after the vid from the locker room was leaked. I need to hear somebody meaningfully address the nightmare, fascist bootlicker misogyny of team USA, and actually talk about sexism and maga politics in the sport. Please be brave and address it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Remembering Claude Lemieux
Q: Dan, how are you?
Dan responds with a brief update and then shifts to reflecting on Lemieux's era, including his playoff excellence and controversial on-ice persona.
Rick Bowness with the best coach rant in 20 years
Q: Cam, what was your personal Rick Bonus moment during your career or observations from coaching that stand out?
Gontz shares a vivid memory of a coach's in-your-face moment and how it shaped a player's motivation, while connecting it to Bonus's famous rant as a modern benchmark for coaching intensity.
Rick Bowness with the best coach rant in 20 years
Q: Rick, you've been a part of a lot of games and a lot of seasons. Have you ever been a part of something that's as frustrating as this has been?
The hosts summarize Rick Bonus's effort and discuss how the frustration and leadership style could influence decisions about his future with the team, suggesting his impact was both a spark and a cultural statement.
McDavid is all 'Hart' in one-man show in San Jose
Q: What do you think about McDavid's performance in the latest Oilers win?
Shayna and Eric agree that McDavid's output was exceptional and that his play can single-handedly influence playoff positioning, while noting the team still needs reliable goaltending and defense to sustain success.
Who’s the NHL’s luckiest team?
Q: First, your thoughts on Matthews, the hit and then the suspension.
The hit was dirty, knee-on-knee, and the suspension reflects a serious incident with a top player out for the season; the broader takeaway is frustration with the Department of Player Safety and the Leafs' lack of on-ice response at the time.
