Customer Reviews
Miss the Tuesday Boyzzz.
Overall a good show. Miss the variety of previous years. Now it’s a prospect day and Canada coverage unless the Canada coverage somehow involves a US team.
Vocal fry
The reporting is good, but the vocal fry is too much for me to handle. Honestly, enough. Please realize that speaking like that is not at all professional and is actually immature and irritating.
LTIR
Here we go again. Instead of addressing how the NHL salary cap is a scam and ripe for violation, these narcissistic journalists look at it from the standpoint of how Vegas makes the deadline exciting, instead of pointing out the abuse of the LTIR.
