Reviews

4.1 out of 5 stars from 110 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.
