  • Best hockey pod

    Pierre and Jimmy are the absolute best and bring you the most knowledge and insight about the game! I couldn’t recommend this podcast enough for diehard hockey fans.

    Also Pierre sent my son a personal letter and autograph free of charge. Stand up guy.

    Not going to find better people in the game & honest!

  • Enjoyable podcast with Technical issues

    I enjoy all the experience and analysis that Pierre brings to the show. My only complaint is the ongoing audio issues that seem to plague various shows. Between Pierre cutting in and out, or Jimmy not being in synch and talking over Pierre it makes certain episodes tough to enjoy. I hope in the future they can iron out these kinks.

  • Great Podcast

    I will say this about Pierre McGuire: He is a hockey encyclopedia and it’s very entertaining to hear him share his hockey wisdom. What a contrast to someone like Matt Ohayon who seems to have limited knowledge of hockey prior to the PK Subban era.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NHL Hall Of Famer Brad Park Joins Us! | The Sick Podcast - The Eye Test September 11 2026
Q: What are the top priorities of training camp according to your experience?
In addition to conditioning, teams focus on installing systems, evaluating line combinations, and assessing goaltending battles to determine who starts.
NHL Hall Of Famer Brad Park Joins Us! | The Sick Podcast - The Eye Test September 11 2026
Q: Do you think Spencer Knight could be in the conversation for the Vezina this year?
Brad suggested it's unlikely this year, but he could evolve with the right development and team support.
What Are The Habs Getting In Chris Kreider? | The Sick Podcast - The Eye Test September 14 2026
Q: Bert the Outdoorsman. Why do fans and teams constantly fall for the trap that they can fix a big yet terrible skater? Why do you believe folks talk as if it's easy to fix skating?
They explain that fans overestimate the impact of off-ice drills and power-skating training, arguing that fast-twitch variability and inherent athletic traits mean not all players can be fixed quickly or completely, despite many attempting to optimize their conditioning.
What Are The Habs Getting In Chris Kreider? | The Sick Podcast - The Eye Test September 14 2026
Q: Chris Gaming TV. What's up, Chris? Pierre, did you watch the Penns Prospect games this weekend? Man, Lane Hudson was amazing. I mean, Thomas Galvez, smiley face. Did the Penguins draft another Lane Hudson with him? And can he make the team?
The hosts acknowledge Lane Hudson as a standout in the prospect events and suggest that while Hudson is talented, making the team will depend on how the big camp unfolds, with emphasis on development and opportunity rather than immediate roster placement.
Surprising & Disappointing NHL Teams Predictions! | The Sick Podcast - The Eye Test August 25 2026
Q: What do you think about expansion and which markets could be involved?
They discuss Atlanta and Houston as likely markets, with Arizona possibly getting another chance later. They also insist European expansion is a real possibility and ongoing, with Zurich offices and a European barnstorming plan.
