What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

it’s THE TOPS. it’s not just a couple of random dudes talking hockey, but it feels like that, and they’re actually giving real opinions. not “PC” safe mainstream opinions that you get seemingly everywhere. somehow this show has piqued my interest in following (and rooting for, Sammy) the Toronto Maple Leafs after listening to their Leaf Hour podcasts. but don’t let that scare you away from listening. the main (national) hour is general NHL stuff. it’s fantastic. it’s the best. it’s the Wiz and nobody beats them. enjoy.

This is simply one of the best hockey podcasts. Great chemistry between Kyper, Bourne, and McKee. Such an easy flow between them as they talk. They have great energy, are passionate, and are insightful and knowledgeable. Keep up the great work.

The Rat Wife · Feb 2025

Great show! Funny, smart, detailed…I love how they over analyze the Leafs and Sam(the producer) is a miserable idiot Leafs fan. The misery in Leafs land is enjoyable. They have great guests and great conversation. First hour is best when the Leafs lose. Great show! Don’t miss out on it!

Bwcanes · Dec 2023

Great balance of perspectives: Kyper with the grizzled NHL tough guy view, JB with the more offense-minded and analytics POV, and Sammy with the fan perspective. They clearly like each other and have great chemistry. Kyper is hilarious and not afraid to rip the team when they deserve it. I would like to hear more analytics-oriented guests. Sometimes the parade of old-school hockey guys gets predictable.
