After the reminder about thankfulness from this week’s episode, figure I ‘d post my first review. This group is always spot on in their NHL insight. They always address topics and questions that are top of mind for me. They hit them quick but with the necessary depth and context for us fantasy nerds. The guys have a good flow with one another too. Hardly any dead conversation or stilted thoughts. Seems like good folks to get a beer with and talk hockey. Cheers from California.
Great podcast
