After The Whistle - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Top-drawer podcast. Rivet and Peters are both great, with long-term association with the Sabres. There is a true vested interest from both of them. Their bantering often leads to great humor, and their knowledge of the game and the league, along with the Amerks and junior leagues, is impressive.
Their guests are excellent, but could be fine-tuned:
Thomas Vanik needs to be on more often, even though he is on a lot. His insight and League knowledge is superb. He knows a great deal about college hockey, too. He is funny and his laugh is infectious. More Vanik!
Less Jeremy Roenick. I know the Rivet connection, and I admit JR has a lot of knowledge, plus has HOF numbers, but—-his once a week spot is too much.
HINT to Andrew and Craig—Buffalo Sabres a 50+ year history and have many players that are loved by the public.
Where are Playfair, Seiling, Andreychuk, Perreault, LaFontaine, Ray Sheppard, Dixon Ward, Sauve, Edwards, Bowman, Ted Nolan, John Tucker, Craig Ramsay, Mike Ramsey, Rob McClanahan, Turgeon, Puppa, Housley, on and on. Heck, even Don Cherry—he talks about Sabres players or teams quite often on his podcast.
You could hear a ton of great stories, from players that were on VERY GOOD Sabres teams through the years and I’m sure you could book some each month, and have repeat guests, too.
The Sabres, until the past 10 or so years, used to have a top 6 or seven career winning percentage. We have a long history—bring some of them back! The small nucleus of you current hosts and guests have loads of stories—imagine if you brought more Sabres connections into the mix.
Still, great podcast, 5 stars.

Not even a Sabres fan but these guys and the former NHL guests (Roy and JR) they have on are excellent. I don’t miss an episode. Great insight into the life of a pro hockey player, and funny stories that never get old. I wish the Caps had something like this!

Love it. Peters and Rivet (and most guests) make for the second best hockey podcast (Sorry. Grapes will always be number one!). They’re funny, entertaining and informative. A must for any fan of the Buffalo Sabres. Having said that, I could do without JR. He’s self absorbed and irritating. I skip it every week, and this isn’t a political statement. I’m conservative and mostly agree with him politically, He’s just annoying. And I miss Eliotte Friedman. He always has great insight and a refreshing change from the other guests. Thomas Vanek and Brian Gionta are also both excellent regular guests. All told, this podcast is great.

Most authentic hockey talk in the whole wide world. Craig and Andrew give a different perspective to the game than others, which is a fire up! Who doesn’t love real, enthusiastic, informative hockey blabber? Appreciate y’all!

Other than being able to swear, the show isn’t nearly as good as the former instigators, which was a real time live interaction with fans with phone calls and tweets. This is so canned and bottled and sometimes past the expiration date on current information it’s actually kind of stale and stiff. Find a way to do it live again and you’ll have a winner. YouTube? Twitch? Everyone’s doing it join the club
These are still entertaining guys, but the show still suffers from isolation. It’s an echo chamber- still zero fan interaction that made it good and now they’ve had some success with ratings. The ad drops are through the roof and there are sometimes days behind with being current on what’s happening. You can be a little late, but you can’t be wrong because you’re late
