Informative, entertaining, insightful

This has become my favourite hockey podcast. I’m an international listener and Elliotte and Jeff’s approach to this podcast has taught me so much about the game and the business of the game. It’s become can’t-miss for me. I love the humour and fun they have with it too. Bravo, team, and thank you.
