The Athletic Hockey Show

Love the consistent quality draft coverage. But Cory Pronman needs to stop rudely interrupting Scott Wheeler. It’s getting weird.

Nothing like a “prospect” podcast to make my eyes glaze over. With all the stories & drama in the opening weeks of the season, we get to reshuffle the draft which is more in line with the off season/summer.

Hailey’s millennial apathy drags down the rest of the contributors.

But why is Hailey Salvian still a host? She only wants to talk about what she wants to talk about; shamelessly tells the audience- I don't care about that team; then her other personality appears to quickly rectify her response and provide bland commentary in an odd bipolar attempt to save the debacle. Ugh. I love the female representation, but Hailey consistently whines, talks over the other hosts, and her commentary swings between being oddly adversarial, or dominating the conversation because she knows she can - as the other hosts are literally walking on eggshells the whole time. There has got to be better female hockey journalists for this job. It’s baffling.
