  • Good hockey podcast

    Great podcast, Dimitri is incredibly smart. But, missing some juice without the Drance appearances.

  • Great Podcast! Not so much discord.

    Been following this pod for a long time (4years) and have been a fly on the wall for a lot of discord drama. A bunch of people kinda get pushed out while the original group kinda pushes the conversations.

    Super awesome that the guests are interactive. The mailbags are so cool! But the way people talk about other members in the different group is kind of sad. Always jumping on certain people. Mostly new. I don’t participate just kinda watch because I enjoy the mailbags. Every pod says to join th... more

  • Best podcast for hockey analysis. I love listening to many hockey podcasts but this is the one I actually trust to break down games, teams, and player performance.

  • The best nerdy hockey show there is

    Dmitri/Drancer Sunday shows are 10/10. Both wildly entertaining and knowledgeable.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Fit Between Connor Hellebuyck and The Devils
Q: Do you have any thoughts on this altered universe where he would have gone to one of those other teams, what that would have meant for him and them?
Woodley says Hellebuyck's anticipation and rush-chance performance could suit possession-oriented teams, but the fit depends on their defensive environment and how often they allow broken plays and dangerous lateral chances.
The Fit Between Connor Hellebuyck and The Devils
Q: Where are you at right now with it in terms of your sort of initial impressions and kind of how you're choosing to view Connor Hellebuyck being the New Jersey Devils goalie?
Woodley says ClearSight Analytics' crease-swap model shows a potentially major improvement over Jacob Markstrom, while noting that results will depend on the Devils' defensive environment and the types of chances they allow.
Early Season Viewings of Teams, Players That Have Improved, and Keys To An Effective Power Play
Q: What differentiates the really efficient power plays in today's game from the ones that have a lot of talent but just can't really execute?
Mike Johnson emphasizes constant movement, changing points of attack and working the puck through or behind the penalty-killing formation to create dangerous chances, rather than relying on stationary perimeter shots.
Early Season Viewings of Teams, Players That Have Improved, and Keys To An Effective Power Play
Q: What goes into young teams tending to struggle defensively at the NHL level?
Mike Johnson attributes it to inexperience, immature decision-making, young forwards' offensive instincts, limited physical maturity and depth, and the amount of time those teams spend defending.
The Trade Market and How Teams Will Proceed Based On Their Start To The Season
Q: What are you hearing right now in terms of the proximity to that or if there's any new developments that we haven't already talked about for weeks now?
Johnston says the immediate focus is what happens when Hellebuyck's suspension ends, including whether he must return to practice or can stay away. He does not expect a quick trade and says Winnipeg will want a return that helps its current roster.
