We’re Greg Wyshynski of ESPN, Sean "Down Goes Brown" McIndoe of The Athletic and Ryan Lambert of Yahoo Sports and this is a hockey podcast, in the sense that we talk about hockey, both on the ice and about fan culture.

Jeff Marek of Sportsnet and Greg Wyshynski of Yahoo! Sports team up to agree and disagree on the NHL news of the day. This daily podcast will also include guests.
