Excellent analysis

They’ve never once stayed on topic tho, like not even close

Nerd Hockey Nonsense

Definitely for hockey fans that are in the weeds of modeling and advanced stats. Not for newer hockey fans that want hockey news or current events or sports talk radio. They get so far off topic arguing about music theory and eco-zones and stuff when there’s plenty of hockey to talk about. These guys spent more time talking about a 1980s minor league baseball game than the Stanley cup, two days before game 1. It’s incredible. Top 3 hockey podcast.
PM :) :)

Off the rails intelligent

The three offer intelligent and opinionated thoughts on the general hockey news. Come for the advanced stats conversation, stay for the off topic conversations about geography.

Shawn needs to speak louder

I have a hard time hearing him when I’m driving

One of my favs

If your looking for a good time with two brothers who fumble around statistics related to hockey while another kid named Sean tries to save face, then this is it….just awesome

Excellent show

I definitely know more than a hockey gm now after listening to this podcast They used to talk about the Sabres all the time and now they don’t really bringing the whole vibe of the show down

Really good, could be great

Love the show so far and appreciate the rants the twins go on, but would like it more if you guys got into the content of those rants more rather than just shoving it aside because it’s too complicated. In other words, more stats stuff. Geography segment of the week is wonderful too, thanks for educating us, Shawn.

More background

It’s interesting to hear you guys talk about players & teams – but it would be helpful to understand more about why you think what you think - in other words, more details about the metrics that you’re basing your opinions on. Because not everybody’s a long time subscriber to your service or others like it… just an idea to help the “less evolved”…
