Great CBJ content and all around sports conversation. Worth a listen. - Brian Giesenschlag
Whiney and negative.

Tough to listen to PD complain about “character” when he’s never spoken to the individuals he’s criticizing. If most of your recent content revolves around your feelings and not hockey, I’m out.
Top notch
