    Production
    Stop fast forwarding Elliotte, that is so frustrating. He sounds like the fourth Chipmunk when you do that.
  • Betsy Gal
    Really Outstanding
    These guys are just terrific! With that said, Jeff announcing the videographer’s salary on air, with no mention of receiving his permission, was in very bad taste.
  • gansen
    Panting, sniffing, wheezing
    Why does Friedmann sound like he’s having a heart attack every time he does one of these? It’s disgusting and unlistenable. Also, can these guys stop talking over each other? Friedman is so goddamn arrogant. Good lord.

    Tanner Jenneaut vibes?
    Hearing your perspective on Tanner Jenneaut vibes? I agree 100 with the vibes you had on them but I have Tanner Jenneaut vibes for the St Louis Blues. Lots of younger skilled players, more on the way and need a sheriff so to speak. Great show

    Finally some sanity in Hockey coverage
    After winning a couple of Vezinas with the perennially inept Blue jackets and cracking the top tier of all time wins playing for weak teams, I was thrilled you guys agree with Bobrovsky being a Hall of Famer. I especially love that he came up as a rookie with the always in search of an elite goalie Flyers. I also love the insights into NHL stories that are usually hidden in national coverage. Thanks and keep up the great podcasting.

    Gold Standard
    This is the essential hockey podcast. Twice weekly and information packed.

    Awful show, no integrity
    I had been a fan of this show for a long time, but they’ve essentially turned into a Toronto maple leafs defender show. All they do is defend dirty plays and horrendous coaching decision by the Leafs while simultaneously crying any time the Leafs get their feelings hurt. Elliot is a pathetic excuse for a hockey commentator and should be ashamed of himself for endorsing headshots(only when committed by Toronto mind you). They come across as whiny, sniveling sycophants.

    Awesome
    The pinnacle of hockey pods. 👍
  • Slingerman Jones
    Simply the gold standard
    Absolutely the best hockey podcast. Well researched, well produced, and entertaining. Would like them to cover some of the harder topics in Hockey, but I understand needing to keep contacts.

    Touch my monkey
    Your story has become tiresome, a German host named Dieter once said. I never thought I’d say it about this show but I’m there it’s not so much the content it’s the delivery and it’s not Elliot it’s Marek if he says something terrible you can be sure he’ll repeat it, if it’s really bad, he’ll say it three times he just loves jamming phrases that he thinks up into your subconscious, Elliot will rip him sometimes in fun, but there’s a razor of truth in his insult. Please just don’t say the first thing that comes into your head, Jeffie. And definitely don’t say the thing that you thought about for three days and can’t wait to let out with a squeal.

    Best Hockey duo ever
    Thanks boys. I just love the show. Especially when Elliott makes fun of Jeff. Sad Jeff is off HNIC their loss. PS try the ribs
  • Levin Junkie
    Taking us out music
    Boys, do you read these things? What happened to the end of pod music? Admit, some was bad. Some was really good. Most was listenable. Why did that end?
  • Chickenandwaffles09
    Good info from Elliot but…..
    These guys try way to hard to be the most non offensive guys in the world. Stop trying so hard.

    Congratulations Amil, amazing opportunity for you and your family. Run with it, never look back!
  • Smittytwostep
    Elliotte is good
    Marek consistently has such horrible takes that I quit listening to this podcast.

    Rod Brind’Amour Podcast
    Outstanding podcast. Loved watching him play with the Flyers. What a warrior. Hated seeing him getting traded. Great coach. Outstanding person. Thanks for interviewing him.
  • KKymen
    Ok
    Friedman couldn’t sniff Biz’s jock strap in the humor dept.
  • Ryandoc13
    5 star show
    Doesn’t get much better than these guys for hockey source authority. Also songs at end of episodes are usually hits. Keep up the great work.
  • Lou Tommos Wife
    NY fan
    Good show, especially for those of us in US that do not get coverage outside our local teams. Enjoy the banter and chemistry between the guys. I do have an isssue with they stance on social norms of the day, in particular their belief you wear the LGBTQ…. Jersey or you are some kind of racist.

    32 Thoughts - 2 teams
    We all know Toronto is the center of the universe. We know Vancouver is a disaster but there are 32 teams in the NHL. I would expect some coverage of those pesky teams not named Maple Leafs and Canucks. It is 32 Thoughts for the 32 teams. Not 32 thoughts about Toronto and Vancouver.

    Blood Thirsty For Failure Podcast
    These guys were good once, now they are worse than BSH.
  • 223534553
    Well
    Friedman is pretty awesome, has his finger on the pulse for the most part. Jeff is an uncoordinated buffoon stumbling through his clunky takes. What an absolute idiot of a man
  • berlaewhsdahic
    Hossa was aight….
    But a “hockey player’s hockey player” would never quit cuz of eczema. Dudes play after taking pucks to the mouth, breaking bones etc etc, and this dude was too itchy? I’m out
  • Peachywoodster
    Friedman ambient noise.
    Friedman on his walks is still more intelligible than RA or Bissonette in studio.
  • RobbWalk
    Disappointed
    I enjoy this show for the unique insight into the goings-on around the NHL, but putting out this episode without any mention of Mitchell Miller is absurd. Even if it didn’t come up in the interview, it should have been mentioned in the pre-recorded insert. That is the story in the league right now, and it reminds me of this show’s hesitation to discuss Kyle Beach during that time last year. Do better.
  • spinfrog
    One of the best!
    Great mix of hockey geekery, wisdom, humor and self-awareness!
  • LeoJM2
    Amil Delic
    Jeff and Elliott get along well and have a great rapport, which makes them easy to listen to….just two guys talking hockey. But the real star of the show is Amil Delic. The production value of this podcast is incredible. The little drops and added background music to stories takes the listener experience to another level. Kudos Amil. Keep up the great work.
  • shootthepuckbarry
    Ugh
    If you want to hear a weekly show that kisses the butts of the hockey elites than this show is for you. Never a critical word is uttered for fear a losing their precious access to the hockey gods. Old guy hockey elitism at its finest.
  • dkroeder
    Great podcast with current content
    These guys not only deliver an informative and entertaining podcast, but they make a great effort and take great pride in keeping the content as current as possible. Their efforts are really appreciated.
  • liberal-tarian
    Hush, hush on another Mogilny snub!
    MOGILNY BELONGS IN THE HHOF! Why do they hate Russian players so much?!? But this is a great podcast, if you don’t mind the Canadian bias!
  • billlllyboooobjoooooe
    Epic
    This is amazing but please put out more podcasts pls.
  • Rutherp
    Arrogant
    I wish I liked it as they have some good points and insights, but I just can’t get over how arrogant they sound. Every week I try listening to it but find myself turning it off.
  • Flyersfan1953
    Afternoon Hockey
    One game a week at 2 pm would be great. The minor leagues do a school day game but at 10:30 am or 11:00 am. It would also be great for retirees but also like baseball that has the businessman special game. Great podcast! I also enjoy your weekly spots on SiriusXM too.
  • sjsharksfan39
    Turn Down the Bumper Music
    I enjoy this podcast and the information and discussions that Jeff and Elliote have. I appreciated that it had shorter episodes 2 days a week instead of the longer episodes weekly when the show first started. I also enjoy the humor of the show and the chemistry between the two hosts. However, can you please turn down the bumper music? There is one bumper where it sounds like nails on a chalkboard, and if you are listening with ear-buds, it can get really loud. Personally I wish they would either bring back the old bumper music or get rid of it entirely. I'm afraid my hearing will go out sometimes when I listen to this show.
  • hellgaak
    Hockey evolved, stop playing catch up
    Ugh, too much pearls clutching and outdated view of hockey. Catch up with times, before you are left behind. Hockey evolved and this podcast should too. Elliotte is clinging to “his generation’s” perception of life and game too much to the point to becoming irrelevant and annoying.
  • McDuck1977
    32 thoughts…on COVID
    Yes, Covid is occurring, but when 2/3s of the podcast is covering Covid and not the sport, you know, the distraction we’re desiring, it’s time to tap out. I can take the political rants to an extent (they’re Canadian, you already know they’re left leaning); the 5 minutes of “here’s a band you never heard of from X…” got old real quick.
  • JCW@1
    Big deal!
    These guys hold themselves out to be the ultimate in sports journalism. What a joke! While far more important issues plague the NHL, these guys spend their time talking of inane garbage. It’s like a verbal comic book!
  • pryan144
    Elliot Friedman is so bad
    James is good as always but Elliot has such backwards and thoughtless rants that it becomes unlistenable. His latest view on the NHL just doing a “do over” in response to Bettman’s awful presser is a classic take from Friedman. He just wants to keep the access.
  • bwodarek
    More of a political show focused on social issues
    This show pushes Marxism and woke politics rather reporting on hockey 👎👎👎
  • Rick Shanley
    Why are you apologizing?
    Elliotte, I know you explained why you’re apologizing, but it strikes me as very odd. It’s almost as if you’re making yourself a part of this story — a much bigger part than necessary. It also seemed a little tone deaf to admit the embarrassment of being scooped by TSN. Why go there right now? I love your work, but this just seems oddly self-centered. You didn’t do anything wrong.
  • GnarlyNyman
    Wow, I sure love it
    The new artwork looks incredible, and these guys are even better. I can’t think of anyone that I’d rather hear breaking down hockey than these two. Great work!!
  • relocatedyank
    Entertainment and informative
    Love listening and getting some hockey news out in Eureka, CA. Sabres fan who supports Eichel in getting whatever surgery he and his doctors think is best for him.
  • emmajeanrooney
    love!
    I appreciate the diverse and unique perspectives that are highlighted on this show. When something crazy happens in hockey I look forward to hear what Jeff and Elliot have to say. (Looking forward to the yellow laces episode!!)
  • Badger Rock
    Consistently interesting
    Outside of the occasional obligatory PC left wing topics this is really good otherwise. Marek is too deep in the forest to understand NHL scoring, blimp goalies and horrible officiating. Typical dense CanDian clod apologist for game that has had the life sucked out of it . But he is knowledgeable. Friedge is very fair journalist. Far better than listening to shallow vulgarian and faux NJ tough guy wyshinski
  • a-name-that-isnt-taken
    Good hockey news but…
    But hard to wade through the woke fascistic tripe of the modern Canadian media.
  • 💯doe😳😳🚗😤skrtskrt
    Best sports podcast out there
    These guys know hockey and know what they’re talking about
  • kkellymac
    Are you going to interview Rick Westhead
    Toews only comment so far is that he is “annoyed”, “it seemed like it fed the fire a little bit “. Brent Sopel said he didn’t come forward sooner because he feared retaliation to his charity organization...he was afraid of retaliation to his charity. Think about that. Patrick Kane was not put on trial because the victims rape kit was removed from police evidence and destroyed the chain of evidence. Patrick Kane had an off duty police officer in his employ the night of the assault. That looks like collusion and police corruption. As the hockey saying goes. Past behavior is the best prediction of future performance.
  • DrNHL
    The real deal, HOCKEY!
