Goon Squad Captain ,

Future Considerations?

I don’t know how old both of you are but when Chris Draper went from Winning to Detroit guess the Future Considerations? The league had no rules at the time for what it had to be.

It was a Dollar, I kid you know you can google it that’s-actually what it was

Great show

Love this!

Rachel is one of my favorite hockey personalities and brilliant minds in hockey. They have a great dynamic and the way they attack topics and evaluating teams and players is just phenomenal.

No Mikey No!

I’m generally a little suspect when it comes to writers who are diehard fans of a single team covering the whole league. By that measure, I literally have no idea how Mike Stephens is allowed to write about anyone other than the Leafs. Very clear that the other 31 teams barely get a modicum of his attention unless they’re Toronto’s opponent on any given night. If you wanted to listen to anything salient and unbiased about teams other than the Leafs, you’re really better off looking elsewhere. What started as a decent podcast about the inner workings of the game has devolved into something entirely unrecognizable, and not for the better.
