  • 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.

  • Fair and balanced ?

    Love the show, but the USA bias is getting hard to ignore. The analysis feels a lot more generous and optimistic when it’s about Team USA, while other teams—especially Canada—get a much more critical lens. Would be great to hear a more balanced, truly international perspective on the game.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
What's the holdup on the Colton Parayko trade? (with Chris Johnston)
Q: What's the hold up on Colton Pareko?
Pareko has a no-trade clause that gives him leverage to pause or approve a trade, and he needs time to think through the decision with trusted advisers, which explains the delay despite reports of a package involving a first-round pick and other assets.
