THN On The 'A': Way Too Early Calder Cup Outlook and Tomasino Call-Up
This week on The Hockey News On The 'A' Podcast with Jacob Stoller and Patrick Williams:
- The Nashville Predators recalled Phillip Tomasino on Monday. After a rookie season that saw him record 32 points in 76 games last season, Tomasino didn't make the Predators out of camp this season, and he had been with Milwaukee since the start of the season — recording 32 points in 38 AHL GP. What took so long for him to earn a recall?
- A way-too-early Calder Cup outlook. Who are the contenders in the Eastern and Western Conferences? Who are the sleepers? And why do AHL teams' Championship chances change so drastically after the NHL trade deadline?
- Georgii Merkulov is the prospect of the week. Merkulov, 22 signed with Boston as an undrafted free agent before the 2022-23 season. He has 35 points in 43 games with Providence (AHL).
- The New Jersey Devils are armed with a deep prospect pool, and there's a good chance they could unload some of their AHL prospects in a deadline deal.
Customer Reviews
Volume Levels Need Worm
Overall volume is lower than nearly every other podcast one on this platform. Also, one guy is often quieter than the other, which means when you turn it up to hear him, the other guy blows you out when he starts talking.
Good ECHL Content
I like the ECHL episodes, but please learn how to pronounce Worcester (“WUH-stah”).
Solid show, great hosts, poor production
Love this pod, but as a subscriber to the hockey news magazine, this podcast leaves much to be desired—I was initially surprised that the esteemed and well-respected Hockey News publication would put their name on a show with such bad production. It sounds like it’s recorded on totally casual, hobbyist equipment with minimal editing and mixing. For example, I constantly have to have my volume on max, and often still can’t make out words or phrases. The sound quality is flat out bad.
