Default Best NHL podcasts?

Obviously spitting chiclets is the best out there and I listen to it all the time but trying to listen to other good ones as well.

Tried 31 thoughts but can't stand Jeff Marek and his annoying constant philosophical questions. Don't mind Friedman but can't listen to it while Jeff is on.

Any other ones?

I'd say Puck Soup but if you think Marek is annoying you're not going to want to listen to Wyshynski and Lambert. They don't bother me but I can see why a lot of people don't like them.

The Steve Dangle Podcast is a big one but they don't actually know very much and it's sort of a "three guys shooting the #### about hockey", but Adam Wylde is really irritating so I'm not listening to that much anymore.

The Hockey PDOCast is great, but only if you like an analytics-focused analysis and you can basically decide based on who the guest is whether you're interested in listening to it (e.g., today they're going to be talking about the Blue Jackets in depth, do you care).

Chris Johnston just launched a new podcast that I'm interested in listening to but I am concerned it's going to be too much Leafs.

I like Missin Curfew myself. 3 ex-NHL guys shooting the ##### mostly about hockey. Well, was 3. RIP Jimmy (Broadway, Scoops) Hayes.

I don't mind Marek, so I also like 31, now 32, Thoughts also. Like Elliott's insights.

Since you guys brought up Spittin' Chiclets, there was a funny clip from a Scott Gomez interview today. I'll just throw it in here:

PS: If you were fluent in Russian or don't mind reading some of the auto generated subtitles on youtube(half the videos have them). Cherkas Atlant is a great channel for interviews with Russian players. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuF...H7FweqhoMh3jww

Honestly if you enjoy Spittin Chiclets I immediately think less of you as a person.

Spittin Chiclets is great. Don’t care what random internet strangers think of me.

31 Thoughts is also really good.

Spittin Chiclets is great. One of the few podcasts where players actually open up and show a bit of personality. Whitney has actually become a pretty good interviewer over time.

Go ahead... I mean I was kind of kidding, I don't really think less of people as people for what media they enjoy, but it's just so ####ing cringe. It's like someone earnestly telling me that they love The Masked Singer or they never miss an episode of Jimmy Fallon or that their favourite TV show of all time is the Big Bang Theory. Certain forms of media are death of culture incarnate, and chiclets is the hockey equivalent, in a sport that already has more than enough fake-macho frat-boy bull#### in it.

Spittin Chiclets has actually gotten a lot better in the last year or 2. Missing Curfew is the new ###### bro hockey podcast.

Mike Keenan and Scott Morrison have one. It’s very good.

Chiclets is probably the most entertaining podcast I've listened to, but you don't go there for substance.

Nope, I do too.

It also gets tiresome listening to them tell the same stories or ask the same hypothetical questions every few episodes.

His questions are always so long winded and everything has to be his own made up cliches.

He’s a bit like a Ron MacLean wordsmith wannabe with a really good memory of inconsequential things that take things off topic.

The Cam & Strick Podcast out of St. Louis is actually really great.

Cam Janssen is a clown, but provides context and Andy Strickland asks really great tough interesting questions. Their interview with Babcock is great. After listening to it I doubt Mike even sees an NHL bench again, outside of Edmonton as they flail for answers when they fire Tippett.
