  • 4 Star

    Too bad you have to advertise for a political agenda fundraiser. Drop your virtue signaling woke advertising and this is a top flight podcast. Like most fans we prefer your sports commentary, not your political opinions.

  • Rough editing

    The content itself in this podcast is great. One complaint is having to skip 2-3 mins in to actually start hearing the podcast. Another gripe is that whoever places the ads into the pod just drops them in the middle of dialogue and it ruins the flow of the podcast.

  • Pretty good

    I enjoy Chris and Julian’s insights into the NHL and hockey in general, and their chemistry is good, almost bordering on homoerotic at times (Julian to Chris and not the other way around). I also appreciate that this newest season is louder and that Chris (so far) has been using a broadcast quality microphone on each episode.
