  • How can you not love a podcast with Brian, Engels, and Gord Downie! These podcast alone are worth the subscription! Keep them coming!

  • Really enjoyed this. Great to have Eric’s and Kyle’s take /view on the matters at hand.

  • Excellente! Toujours amusant! Profitez de la richesse de l’information des meilleurs esprits de hockey. et livré d’une manière vivante et agréable. Un cintre de falaise à coup sûr. Parfois, les fans doivent comprendre quand une organisation est redessinée, il peut prendre un an ou deux. Il s’agit d’investir dans l’avenir. Et comme toujours le manque de vitesse à nouveau est mon emporter. J’espère que cela va aussi s’améliorer. Nous devons être patients. La chimie prend du temps. Merci encore. C’était fantastique!

  • Great podcast.
    Loved the point of Chucky in Patch’s spot on the PP. I was just telling my dad the exact same thing last night.
    And for Benn better on the right than the left, it was extremely obvious last year. I don’t understand the reasoning of putting him on the left. There is a big difference in performance.

  • Thanks for the excellent podcast! I think putting Galchenyuk on the 4th line is a bad idea but he needs to step up his game. I wish that they put DLR at center instead of Mitchell on the 4th line too. But we’ll see on friday if Julien will change his lineup.

    Not sure what happened but during the Wilde/McCagg segment, the sound quality went down. Not sure why but I’m sure you guys will fix that in the next podcast. Thanks again and see ya soon!

    • Yeah that segment is gonna naturally be slightly lower because it’s on the phone. However usually not that much. The app was acting up a little bit. Thanks for listening!!!!!

  • Listened to the spot with Kyle and Eric, although 27 wasn’t good against The Hawks, 67 wasn’t any better and I expect more from the captain in home opener night
