  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Matthew Knies Situation Is Getting Out Of Hand! | The Sick Podcast - The Eye Test June 5 2026
Q: Do you think Larkin keeps his list to one team?
Probably not; a multiple-team path is more likely given the market dynamics and his no-trade clause leverage.
The Matthew Knies Situation Is Getting Out Of Hand! | The Sick Podcast - The Eye Test June 5 2026
Q: Peter Manu, Pierre, would Dylan Strom be a good fit for Montreal?
Dylan Strom is more of a power-play specialist than a five-on-five contributor; he could be useful if Montreal's needs align, but there are other players who might fit better overall.
Brandon Bussi’s Remarkable Story Of Perseverance | The Sick Podcast - The Eye Test June 11 2026
Q: What was the biggest challenge Brandon faced on the way to the Cup Final and how did he overcome it?
The guests described multiple plateaus, including being cut from leagues and being overlooked by early lists, but emphasized development, resilience, and timely performances as the turning points that kept him on track toward the final.
