Reviews

4.1 out of 5 stars from 114 ratings
  • Annoying

    Mike Futa has to learn how to have a conversation rather than giving a lecture. He constantly interrupts Matt, which is super annoying, and Matt defers to him and loses the opportunity to make his point before being interrupted.

  • Needs a Change

    This has devolved into: “The Anything But Hockey Show”. Lifeless filler rules the day instead of hockey content. This show could be so much more.

Sens’ Situation in Goal, Pacific Pulse & Sean McDonough
Q: But with the San Jose Sharks this season, do you have them in the playoffs?

First Weekend Rewind with Justin Williams
Q: Do you think that that is part of the adjustment for maybe some of these older guys coming in, except for Sidney Crosby, because he's on a different level?
Williams says it is an adjustment, and older players increasingly stay in shape during the offseason. With only one exhibition game for some players, he doubts everyone can be fully game-ready from the start.
First Weekend Rewind with Justin Williams
Q: What's the biggest difference in preparing when you're the hunted?
Williams says the team must recognize that its title and past accomplishments are behind it, then prepare for opponents who are especially motivated to beat the defending champions.
Around the NHL with Elliotte Friedman: McKenna on the Board
Q: Is Laine next in line or is there some other guys getting some buzz?
Friedman says Vladimir Tarasenko and Patrik Laine have been skating together, and he has also heard Brandon Saad wants to keep playing. Tarasenko is interested in Florida, though the Panthers have cap concerns.
