Cold Stove: A Hockey Podcast

One of the many hockey podcasts I listen to religiously. The guys are very knowledgeable and entertaining. One improvement I would suggest is including time stamps for topic changes.

I used to really enjoy this podcast, but it’s gone downhill. They’re really sporadic in releasing content, sometimes going 3 weeks without an episode. They also favor teams more than others (or at least the buffalo sabres) and are pretty critical of players beliefs when they don’t line up with their own. They’ve called some players horrible human beings for saying something they believe in which I just don’t think is fair to say especially when members of your audience share similar beliefs to those players. All in all, just not consistent, some favoritism, and the guys have kind of soured on me a little too.

Nice podcast today with Brent and #NRD. FYI. Provorov is a left shooting defenseman. It should be very interesting if they keep him another year to pair him with Ryan Ellis to see his true value. Given the last two years. His value has decreased. If Provorov plays like the year with Matt Niskanen, the Flyers will have a tough time trading him next season. The Flyers may take a longer term view of Provorov on his term with the team. #NRD is very good on his visits to the Snow the Goalie podcast.

If you have inside knowledge, then ask how to say the first liners names. A legit hockey podcast should know how to pronounce the names of #1 overall picks.
