Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 32 ratings
  • 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.

Kevin Kilbane: Team Canada World Cup Roster Day!
Q: Who might start if Davies is not at 100% for the opener?
If Davies is unavailable or limited, the backline and midfield will be re-evaluated to maximize attacking options from deeper positions, with Davies potentially operating in a more advanced role if he is not fully fit.
