  • 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.

  • Love the show!

    Have been listening regularly but my schedule doesn’t align to listening to the shows live. Just listened to the most recent Chuck Kaiton episode. I had never heard of him before and thought he was a great guest. I especially loved hearing about his hockey stories which reminded me of the Scotty Bowman episodes. Hope you guys continue to mix in these highly experienced guests with wonderful personalities in your future episodes!
