Exceeds Expectations

Wonderful new addition to the hockey podcast world. I love the unique ways they look at hockey, they often bring up things I never would’ve thought of impacting the game. Their interviews are excellent and this show has really made the “scary world of analytics” much more accessible.

Corey Elya ,

Great show

Very interesting topics discussed. I really enjoyed the discussion on how players are taxed differently depending on their situation.

JohnyBoy2 ,

Great Content

Love learning about hockey, the only criticism I have is that Sean’s mic picks up his inhales really sharply and it’s kinda loud on headphones.
