Love to listen every week but did sportsnet skimp out on the editing budget this week?
The Elliotte Show

You don’t know what you got, til it’s gone eh? You knew Marek was good, and it’s not that Bukaskis is bad, but this pod has turned into Elliotte talking for the entire segments and Bulaskis not jumping in. From the beginning of this relationship it was weird with Elliotte talking to him like Marek and not giving the audience a chance to know him. Really sad now. It was such a fantastic pod but it’s not there anymore.
Elliot! Shut up!

I miss Jeff. It’s turned into the “listen to Elliot repeat himself over and over”show. Kyle is dry toast and not at all interesting. Elliot is now making up trades. Isn’t the league interesting enough without this bozo pretending to be a GM?
No more Marek

I gave it a try without Marek, but it’s definitely not the same. Used to be the best hockey pod, now it’s tough to get through an episode.
