Long time lurker Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Today is the first day for me where Rivet and Peters podcast is littered with commercials. Not sure if others have found this to be case as well.. I appreciate that they (or someone) wants to monetize their efforts, but they will do so without me. Accessed the podcast the way I always have but all of a sudden, commercials at the beginning and during so, bye-bye. Wish them luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Haven’t listened to them since Jeremy Roenick suggested that the COVID vaccine caused Demar Hamlin’s cardiac arrest and Rivet saw fit to legitimize the idea. You couldn’t pay me to listen to them now. 3 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) Their pod was unlistenable long before commercials were added. Between Andrew's laughably bad takes, Craig's penchant for speaking slowly while repeating himself, and JR's butthurt white man's politics, I stopped listening long ago. 3 minutes ago, K-9 said: Haven’t listened to them since Jeremy Roenick suggested that the COVID vaccine caused Demar Hamlin’s cardiac arrest and Rivet saw fit to legitimize the idea. You couldn’t pay me to listen to them now. I think that was my last episode too. A much better option, although it's in summer hiatus, is Maintenance Day with Joe Yerdon and Lance Lysowski. Also on Apple. Edited June 14, 2023 by PromoTheRobot 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they have a pre-draft episode out now. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/maintenance-day/id1601283889 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely listen to the episodes with Roenick. I listen to most of the others. Peters and Rivet alone are pretty hit or miss. When they have Gio or Vanek as a guest, it’s usually pretty good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And having Roenick on regularly was another I stopped listening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SABRES 0311 Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 I passively listen while driving. A couple days ago Rivet called VO softer than puppy s***. It was funny. I could care less about commercials but some of their analyses lack depth. Other than that it passes the drive time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottysabres Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 Hasn't heard these 2 in a long while now. Forgot they were still a thing on some platform. Not that I dislike their points of view, but I was hoping wgr could get a daily hockey related broadcast team on the air that spent more time talking about hockey and less about their comfort zone of tighty whitey's or their golf game.

Petey & Riv have a hard time staying on-topic too. In fact the most hilarious thing they do is bring up an interesting topic, get distracted, and forget to go back to that topic.

SwampD Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 The funniest thing about this whole thread is that you can just click the +15 button a couple of times until you are past the commercials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porous Five Hole Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 JP Dumont was a guest on the ATW pod last week. It was a nice run down memory lane and good hockey stories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one episode that I really enjoyed was the Scotty Bowman interview. Scotty is still super tuned into the NHL and had some really interesting things to say. I don't know when the exact date that the episode aired was.. but it's definitely worth a listen. He had a really interesting take about Devon Levi and seemed to be really familiar with Levi's career to date. I was, honestly, taken aback regarding how much he seemed to know about the situation and the insight he had about Levi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After hearing him talk, I came away thinking that a goalie styled like Levi might actually be an ideal goalie for the Sabres. With the Sabres playing so open and having a lot of transition into and out of the zone, it allows goalies quicker smaller goalie to have more success. Whereas when you slow things down, he can be screened easier and will have a harder time because of his size seeing the puck/shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 I listen to After the Whistle all the time when I work out. I think it's perhaps the best hockey podcast out there because you're getting real players and coaches talking candidly about the game and they have a Sabres bias. The Tim Connolly episodes were awesome, especially when Vanek joined them. They put into context a lot of what was going on during the 2006-2011 period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
