Hands down best Hockey pod…Will miss Jeff a ton. But excited this show is back. Must listen for serious hockey fans

I don’t like the new guys voice. Marek and Elliott were great together, but mostly because Marek was running the show and throwing it to Elliott for insider expertise. Now it’s the insider getting fluffed by some intern sounding mf. Start a new pod. You’ll bounce back too, Elliott. RIP the pod that got me into hockey.

Bukauskas is lifeless and doesn’t compliment Elliotte really well in this format. I’m sure he’s great in personal conversation, but he’s missing the pizazz that Marek brought to the pod

Classic sportsnet fumble. Bring back marek you clowns

The pod is perfect now

Sorry Elliott but without Jeff this podcast is like getting lectured by your dad about the rules and strategies of a test cricket match. Jeff brought life to this podcast and now it’s dying I’m unsubscribing all sportsnet podcasts LETS GO CHICLETS!!!

You finally post up a pod and make no mention of Marek? You know, the reason anyone ever listened to this show? Pathetic.

Was my favorite pod. Completely a 5 star show. Now, not the same wo Marek.

Used to love this til they got rid of Jeff Marek

1 star podcast without Marek. Looking forward to whatever he does next. Only guy who could pin down Elliotte’s drunk rambling

If you’re going to listen to one hockey podcast, this one is it. The information is good, and delivered in just the perfect way. The sound quality is great, even on car casts.

Stop fast forwarding Elliotte, that is so frustrating. He sounds like the fourth Chipmunk when you do that.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Hockey retires to many numbers jersey!Also to many player each year nominated to hockey hall of fame. Might as well put everyone in the hall of fame.The hall is now so dam dilute Your show is not bad.You put to many people on a dam statue!

The pinnacle of hockey pods. 👍

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.

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.

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

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?

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!

Marek consistently has such horrible takes that I quit listening to this 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.

Friedman couldn’t sniff Biz’s jock strap in the humor dept.

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.

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.

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.

These guys were good once, now they are worse than BSH.

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

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

Friedman on his walks is still more intelligible than RA or Bissonette in studio.

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.

Great mix of hockey geekery, wisdom, humor and self-awareness!

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.

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.

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.

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!

This is amazing but please put out more podcasts pls.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
