Nothing like a “prospect” podcast to make my eyes glaze over. With all the stories & drama in the opening weeks of the season, we get to reshuffle the draft which is more in line with the off season/summer.

Hailey’s millennial apathy drags down the rest of the contributors.

But why is Hailey Salvian still a host? She only wants to talk about what she wants to talk about; shamelessly tells the audience- I don't care about that team; then her other personality appears to quickly rectify her response and provide bland commentary in an odd bipolar attempt to save the debacle. Ugh. I love the female representation, but Hailey consistently whines, talks over the other hosts, and her commentary swings between being oddly adversarial, or dominating the conversation because she knows she can - as the other hosts are literally walking on eggshells the whole time. There has got to be better female hockey journalists for this job. It’s baffling.

First time listening to this and found the discussion highly oversimplified and nearly unlistenable.

I know you're at the draft but if I cant hear you with all the background noise i’m not listening

Love the consistent quality draft coverage. But Cory Pronman needs to stop rudely interrupting Scott Wheeler. It’s getting weird.

I appreciate that you put out a quick post-draft pod, however, the sound was terrible. This happened to be the first time I listened to the show so I’m not sure how it is other times, but maybe find better microphones and a quieter setting next time? How about the hotel room instead of the lobby? Content wise, I’d say it was fairly good.

This show is good half the time and the other half of the time it's unlistenable as Haley and Sean sound like they've taken some bong hits and are sitting on a couch stoned randomly talking about hockey.

The reporting is good, but the vocal fry is too much for me to handle. Honestly, enough. Please realize that speaking like that is not at all professional and is actually immature and irritating.

Ian Mendes is insufferable. Every time I try to give this podcast another chance, I’m forced to pretend that guy is clever and witty. He would be more successful covering a Who’s Who of This Week’s TicToc show.

Five stars because DGB told me to do this. I enjoy these guys very much in all their pods. Keep it up fellas.

Where’s the 6 star rating?? As far as your Feb 28th call out for a show name: “At Least We’re Not Lozo”

The chaos of the Thursday episodes cannot be understated and should not be underrated. Absolutely can’t get enough of that trio. The new Wednesday show is awesome too- always need too many Seans.

Corey and Max are fantastic, the rest really aren’t great. DGB is always entertaining and should be on more. Ian has charisma but lacks conviction of opinion and chemistry with any of the cohosts. Hailey is good for women’s hockey but meh for everything else, and the combo of her and Sean (who is good on his own) is brutal. The show definitely feels like it’s straining to produce this much content and the results show it.

In previous years the daily programming was good as it was something new daily with different people and I liked that. Now it is the same rudderless M thru W show where Julian McKenzie can’t stop saying “Like” and “I mean” 40+ times a show, a Thursday throw away show and the prospect show that I was never interested in at any time. I like Ian Mendes, but I can’t stand Julian’s ramblings and GenZ speaking that I finally had enough and unsubscribed from the show. Hopefully there is more creativity next year and I may jump back.

Overall a good show. Miss the variety of previous years. Now it’s a prospect day and Canada coverage unless the Canada coverage somehow involves a US team.

Literally, everyone on the show is great, except for Julian. I cannot stand hearing his takes for one more second. If I hear him in the intro of the show, I Feel my stomach drop. I think going forward I might just start to skip the episodes when I hear him.

An overall good show, keeping consistent content that’s informative and fun to listen to.

Still enjoy some of the current hosts and content but it’s no longer appointment listening for me like Tues and Thurs used to be. Old lineup 5 stars. Current lineup 3.5 stars?

Really love this pod. Miss the Tuesday Boyzzz.

Used to enjoy the majority of the daily shows. Then one host insulted the listeners of another hockey podcast. Then they did away with the Tuesday shows this season. (23-24) Only reason it's 2 stars instead of 1 is because of the prospect episodes.

But I do miss the Tuesday Boyzzz.

I would love to see a more day by day, game by game review or at least touch up on the games and bigger moments. Also I’m a new listener but I think Shayna was my favorite one to listen to so far. Don’t know if she’s a guest or a regular but she should be the latter.

This show made a wrong turn when they made Ian and Julian the hosts every day. Every other host was better by leaps and bounds, and I often found myself skipping the Monday show simply because of the hosts. I will be unsubscribing for now but will check back in throughout the season to see if hosting duties change at all.

Two shows hosted by Ian and Julian with DGB reduced to being a guest? Not a good idea. What is a good idea is putting the kids together (Sean Hailey Max) so I can just skip that one completely.

Getting rid of Wednesday guys is a bad move. Could barely stand Julian one day a week and now we get him twice. Terrible . If you played drinking game where you took a shot for every time he said “like”, you’d be hammered 5 minutes into every pod.

Julian is worse than the former monday co-hosts, way worse. like really really the worst. max and corey have the only consistently interesting content or anything informative. sean and sean are both good.

Some decent banter, discussion and intelligent hockey talk. McKenzie is brutal though.

Am I missing something? This is still professional sports right? No matter what the score is there are still players on both rosters trying to win spots. If you want to say the pre season is too long I agree w that but no mercy rule ever in pro sports

There are some good folks on here that offer insight and discuss interesting subjects but too many of the athletic staff take it as a joke and they come off as a joke. It can be worse than bro radio. Half of the time I only hear giggles.

They claim to be a hockey show, yet they refuse to consider The Mighty Ducks’ theme song on their cartoon theme song bracket. Hacks and frauds!

If you’re familiar with The Athletic (which I am as a paying subscriber), you know that all of these people are super talented! But the inconsistency between hosts in terms of style makes every episode really different. I would check out a few before passing judgement, and remember who you do and don’t like.

Easily the worst hockey pod.

So much idle and just plain dull chit-chat between the hosts. Takes a solid 10 minutes to get into any serious topics, and even then it still seems so amateurish. I have tried this show multiple times and just can’t sit through it. The Athletic needs to hire a real producer who can whip this into shape. Please give us a tight, well-edited, well-spoken 30-45 minutes on hockey. I am sure you have the talent for it, but you need more discipline and more professionalism.

I love to see a podcast about hockey 🥅🥅🥅🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒hockey’s my favorite sport 🥅🥅🥅🥅🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒🥅🥅🥅🥅

Weak show with weak hosts, with the exception of Sean McIndoe. The broad on the show has more balls than the guys. But that dame is relatively weak too. A show by and for Millennial Puke Soy Boys.

I listened to parts of 3 shows on my 50 minute drive home. All they seem to do is complain and make negative comments about every team. If you hate NHL teams that much, maybe don’t have a show about it. Also, just because you can use foul language doesn’t mean you should. People listen in the car with their kids in the backseat.

I’m 17 minutes into the draft episode, and most of what I’ve heard is about the injustice of Chicago having a 1st, and how the “plutocrats” win in the end. If you want to make that point, go ahead. But, after that, move on to another topic. I don’t want to listen to you complain about the same thing over and over again. We’re deep into the playoffs. There are so many exciting story lines. Find something positive to talk about.

I enjoy Corey's interviews and professionalism. Otherwise, I would rather hear from the average fan at the bar about what they think about hockey. Sean Gentille is a self-important tool. Unsubscribed.

Some shows have guests and topics that are interesting but they are in the minority. They focus on original six teams. All others are covered in passing or half heartedly. Latest episode is how boring hockey is right now after trade deadline. Guess they don’t realize there are wild card races, major injuries outside Minnesota, women’s hockey, and league issues that GMs and owners need to work through. Just to name a few interesting things they could be covering. I’m done.

There are maybe 1 or 2 good hosts but most of them are absolutely cringe and annoying. Definitely makes me never want to sub to their journalism

Thursday is strong and the prospects guys are total pros. The other shows are borderline unlistenable. Main offenses include, but are not limited to, incorrect humor evaluation (McIndoe is the ONLY funny person), over confidence on politics, juvenile attitudes about how hard to try in interviews, self-deprecating tone attempting to justify mediocrity, terrible introductions, lack of personality.

I am not sure why football is leading off on episodes. I like the podcast when they discuss hockey.

Cory and max are the only redeeming hosts of his show.

This show stinks

I’ve read some of these reviews and I don’t understand them. I love this pod!! Keeps you up to date daily about what’s going on in the hockey world! Keep it up everyone!

Mostly good, but man when Sean and Hailey are on it sounds like two high schoolers talking hockey. They’d be fine with other hosts but together it’s unlistenable. Ornate amounts of dead air.

It doesn’t take long before you can’t stand Sean Gentille. He is the guy that you know that no one wants to hang out with. Because he is so annoying to listen to. Hailey sounds like the ultimate white girl. Her stories about her personal life just go on and on. I have to motivate myself to continue to listen. The other hosts are much better.

Bring back Sara
