Transcribe →Ep.198 - We're On To 2025
Jan 2, 202501:29:20Tap to summarizeAight folks! We're back after the holiday break still crawling towards full strength. As we approach the midway point on this NHL season -- there are still A LOT of unanswered questions about this team; what are we. But also; what is Trent Frederic? Can Boston's special teams get fixed? Is Morgan Geekie elite? (jk). We of course touch on the Fabian Lysell debut, short lived as it was. And you know Poitras is going to come up in that discussion. Plus; some voicemails, predictions and more. GET IN.
Transcribe →Ep.197 - Still Winning Games
Dec 19, 202401:14:19Tap to summarizeAnybody else getting whiplash watching this team? Stealing, like literally taking wins out of the hands of their opponents one night.. only to get absolutely throttled the next. It's wild, but it somehow has them third in the division and only 5 points out of first place. Every episode we seem to ask ourselves -- is this sustainable? NO. IT'S NOT. BUT HERE WE ARE. GET IN.

Dec 12, 202401:27:33Tap to summarizeMatthew Poitras continues to tear it up in PVD and theres literally no reason at this point that he's not in the Boston lineup.

Voicemails, Predictions, and Andrew gets muted multiple times. GET IN.

Transcribe →Ep.194 - Do You Believe in Joe Sacco?
Nov 26, 202401:13:09Tap to summarizeAight folks. We have to put a bow on the Jim Montgomery era -- and there's plenty of drama that's unfolded over the last 48 hours since he signed a 5-year contract to coach the St. Louis Blues. Thomas ain't buying the conspiracy crap.. but is there something nefarious at play here? Beyond that -- is Joe Sacco's first few games at the helm worthy of inspiration? All that plus NHL Whipitout, Predictions and YOUR voicemails. Do you believe in Joe Sacco? GET IN.

What is the next step -- and is Sacco a suitable stopgap for the remainder of the season?
