  • MORE SHAYNA PLEASE

    I like listening to this podcast to keep up with what’s going on outside the scope of my favorite team. Shayna Goldman’s appearances alone are enough reason to subscribe. Sorry to the folks who left negative reviews - sometimes it’s okay to listen to differing viewpoints than your own (kinda the main problem we’re facing as a society in a microcosm).

  • Yawn

    Just as unfunny, cliche, and boring as everything else the Athletic does. Or every hockey podcast for that matter.

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How To Fix: New Jersey Devils
Q: How does the goaltending plan fit into the broader rebuild strategy?
The Devils prioritized cost-effective, flexible options, backing Jake Allen with young Dawes and insurance from Rittich, to avoid overcommitting to an expensive starter while developing goaltending depth for the future.
How To Fix: New Jersey Devils
Q: Why was the Nemec trade seen as a strategic move rather than a setback for the Devils?
The trade provided significant draft capital and flexibility, allowing the team to replenish its prospect pool and future assets while Mehta could pursue a longer-term plan around the top-line talents and the existing core.
How To Fix: New Jersey Devils
Q: What are your top line takeaways on the start of the Sunny Mehta era with the Devils?
Mehta is focusing on building depth, optimizing the bottom six, and leveraging his track record of drafting and developing overlooked talent, rather than overpaying for star players, which should lead to a more balanced, sustainable contender trajectory.
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.
