Two guys who know their hockey

I discovered the articles by Godin and by Basu when they both wrote in the Atlhetics. Both are gifted writers and this carries over into the podcast.
This podcast allows these two talented journalists to have a fresh exchange of ideas about the Montreal Canadiens. The exchanges are well informed and each have speak their own minds but with respect.
I have been a hockey fan for over 50 years and the way Basu and Godin explain plays, styles, “concepts” is fresh and informative.
The Monday podcast has a mailbag section and the questions are addressed in depth.
The Friday podcast includes a segment Future Friday, that covers the Habs farm system.
Basu now has a jingle for Future Friday and Godin should come up with one for Mailbag Monday!
A great podcast for hockey fans!

Go_Habs! ,

One of my Top-3 Habs Hockey podcasts!

These guys are great! Awesome banter without spittin’ F-bombs!

Arpon & M.A. are definitely insiders with access to stuff I want to hear about!
