    Jason and now Jeff make this a great show to listen to. If you think otherwise you need some warm milk.

  • Missing Frank

    This WAS the best hockey podcast going with Frank/Gregor. Their banter back and forth made this a must listed to pod every week. Really miss not having Frank part of the dfo group. The change on Mondays to Marek has been a complete fail. Marek goes on for 6-7 min about random gibberish while Gregor just sits back and waits for him to finally stop yapping about nothing. It’s just not good radio and exact opposite of what this pod used to be. Fridays with Rupp are much better and he’s been a gre... more

  • Frank ?

    Marek is great for long form shows (like The Sheet) but gosh, every time he joins Jason here I groan. Rupp has been great. But.. Frank ? Where’d he go ?

  • Get rid of Jeff Marek

    Jeff Marek is ruining your podcast with all these old irrelevant stories nobody cares about. And It drives me insane when he constantly interrupts everyone. Love the show otherwise but I ain’t listening to any episodes with Marek. Bring back Frank.

  • Co-host needs work

    I like Jason’s look at sports but his co hosts are not helping him at all. Marek and his Ron MacLean like stories just kill all momentum of the podcast. Russo is no Chris Russo, we get it you want nothing more than USA hockey to win which makes any analysis weak at best.
