  • Podcasting excellence

    I enjoy Connor’s dry humour and Shawn’s chipper morning vibes. Insightful Habs commentary. I skip the rest because Im a one sport guy but great pod overall.

  • Good show but not updated daily

    Love the show, however there is not much of it in the podcast. The whole show should be on and the fact that it is not updated daily is very frustrating.
