    She HAS to stop giggling. Its impossible to listen to Boyler and Larry. TOTALLY annoying. Please stop or leave. Otherwise 5 stars.

  • Bad to worse

    This podcast has steadily declined over the years. Mollie reports and talks like she is a teenager working for her high school newspaper and Larry is the master of the obvious. Brian Boyle adds value as a former player and should have a bigger role! One could argue that the podcast was better when they had regular guests (former players and others from the hockey world) and Ron Duguay was the host!

  • A loyal listener suggestion

    Quite simply the best informed, most to the point analysis of the NY Rangers. Love all three of the hosts but…

    Please work on the audio quality. At the very least turn off your phone and laptop alerts when you record.

    I listen to every episode on my horrendous commute and I love it, but every text or email alert pings through my car like a puck shattering glass. Between that and the clunky insertion of ads (which is super jarring due to the volume differential), it can be a painful listen.

  • Excellent Podcast! But…

    As I posted last season, I always enjoy this excellent podcast! Larry Brooks is great. However, the episodes tend to be on the shorter side; and I am very disappointed that the episodes do not drop on a predictable schedule. The show does not appear to be a priority of the host and co-hosts. The episodes should drop on the same day most weeks as other NYR podcasts do. Enough with the pauses and delays at the height of the season. Also, the show could have continued during the Four Nations tourna... more
