It’s pretty good

Yes
Adam20361966

Fascinating to see player evaluation

I stumbled upon this podcast by accident when it first came out and have been hooked and dialed in ever since. There is soooo much nfl draft coverage and to finally have in-depth comprehensive breakdown of NHL prospects is awesome. Especially with all the coverage they get on non-North American players I can’t watch outside of the world juniors. Keep up the great work!

Best

This is by far most comprehensive, informed analysis of ever moving draft possibilities. I’d love to have dinner with these guys. Very knowledgeable and the same stuff gonna be coming out of Pierre Maguire’s mouth on Draft day ( whenever that is).

Hosts know their stuff

These two guys are the most knowledgeable in the biz

Great listen

Another great show! As a hockey fan, I love these podcasts
KenMar10

Great info, but completely dismissing Duck fans

Love the info and conversations you’ve been having. Draft is one of my favorite parts of the year and getting any additional information is a bonus. I was listening to your mock draft episode intently, and you gave a very thorough analysis of every pick in the top 10... except for the Ducks. You casually mention, “We’re just gonna skip the Ducks.” That’s poor form and Im supremely disappointed as a Ducks fan and blogger. I’ll still listen because I like what you guys do, but don’t skip a team just because you don’t like them

Very informative

You gotta love how the NHL is joining the podcast movement. Really enjoyed the first episode and also the playoff fantasy previews. Need more offseason hockey talk in the world.
