Sam I love your work. I’ve read everything you’ve ever written about M hockey. I badly want a Wings cast I can listen to. I’ve now listened to 11 of these and it ain’t it. I understand funding is limited but please find a co host that is professional, watches games, matches you, and is not a troll journalist in training.
