    Amateur Hour
    In a world in need of good/great hockey podcasts, this isn’t one. From audio issues to rambling segments, this is more often than not, unlistenable. In the most recent episode, they were lamenting not being able to figure out how to go live to cover Monty’s firing and not willing to pay for “X Premium” to do so…amateur hour.
  • lip91688
    Stop laughing my god
    Would be good but the women on the show can’t go 5 seconds without laughing at her own not funny things she says. I don’t get it. Maybe it’s a nervous thing but she just laughs at things that aren’t even funny. No one laughs but her.
  • GBare_37
    Excellent podcast
    Always look forward to a new episode. The trio have great discussion and insight into the Bruins and I really appreciate how they’re comfortable disagreeing with each other. The audio issues can be frustrating at times, but at the end of the day the quality of the conversation is top notch. Keep up the excellent work.

    Bridget’s lack of belief disappointing

  • candyrocks
    I love The Skate podcast!
    Bridgette, Scott and Brian do a fantastic job of breaking down all things Bruins. Not just wins and losses but who’s up, who’s down, and what’s ahead for the Black & Gold. They’re also extremely well-informed about the Bruins’ farm system/prospects and the state of play around the rest of the NHL. If you’re a Bruins fan you CANNOT MISS THIS PODCAST!
  • The pl8ump
    Great Pod!
    I love your work on this Podcast, Brigette, Brian, and Scott! My only criticism,being a bit of an old-fashioned, 63 year- old Bruins fan; I find the gratuitous dropping of F bombs to be very unpalatable. I know that since this is a podcast, you don’t have to follow strict FCC regulations, but dropping F bombs doesn’t make any of you sound any better. Keep up the great work! And don’t listen to so many of the haters whose reviews I have read.
  • bprsc59
    Just the right amount of time!
    It’s about time we have people who love to talk about hockey. Thank you for getting me through the summer and keeping me entertained as well as informed. These guys have great chemistry, intelligence informative, and just the right amount of fluff keep it up because as we all know our radio stations hardly talk about hockey.
  • peachlyra
    Get rid of Brian
    I never leave negative reviews, but this just has to be said. Why is Brian on the show? He mansplains things to Bridgette and/or rephrases her points, never brings original content, and genuinely comes across as if he hates his job. I will come back if/when it’s just Scott and Bridgette, who are both great.
  • hopefullynotthisone
    Notification dings
    Great pod but please, you’re a professional, shut your volume off on whatever is making those dings. No one wants to hear that while listening to a podcast.
  • Darryn w
    Too long
    I want to like this podcast more, but each episode should be an hour or less. And they could easily get there by not spending 15-20 minutes of each episode lamenting Krejci being gone and the off-season moves. I think a little segment previewing upcoming games might be nice too.
  • Chirpylocket
    Best Bruins Content
    Easily the most insightful and level headed Bruins podcast available. The trio has great chemistry and know their stuff, would highly recommend!
  • mfahey22
    Trolly
    This is a great pod. Solid troll job in the review section. Monsters.
  • Rernst00
    Like Eddie Shore
    They talk about Bruins hockey, in an intelligent manner, which is nice
  • soccer353
    Podcast
    I enjoy listening to you guys talk Bruins. But, please, enough of Marie from Watertown and Fred In NH. David Pastrnak needs to do more? Seriously?? Get some other callers to contribute please. Thanks...enjoy the podcast.

    Bring the show to the Wilbur....😂
  • KMS Polls
    Worst podcast I've ever heard!
    I'd give it 0 stars if I could.... WEEI is terrible, Laird is a traitor. This podcast like Dunkin munchkins is.... GARBAGE!! I think I'll listen to something decent like the Kirk Minihane Show on Barstool Sports, featuring B. Michael Geary and S.E. Robinson.
  • Richard J. Mandarin
    VLSKMS
    You’ll get more life out of Mema geary, than these talentless drips
  • Kirk was right
    I’d rather wear a Canadiens jersey in TD Bathroom
    Just an awful, awful, show. No Hot takes. No laughter to be found. One of the guys just pretends to be Bruins players. The other guy coughed to try to cover up a fart, and that also failed... We Heard You!! And don’t accuse me of being a Minifan, I don’t even know what that means
  • Dutes55
    Like munchkins, they’re garbage
    Another boring minus podcast done by two brainless dolts. I hope they don’t have any interns working for them.
  • T-Bones412
    Bob ❤️s Abishola but I don’t ❤️ this
    Boring minus
  • Mattyhos2333
    Honesty
    I’m not being original, but man what an awful name. Forget everything else
  • realQBM_
    Absolutely Terrible
    The pacing is HORRIFIC and the takes are so milquetoast I could feed them to an infant. If you want hockey commentary, you'll get better content at your local sports bar, and at least there you can have a beer.
  • Big Papi to most
    Puppet, Sock
    Really bad. Bad day. Bruins fan my whole life. Fighter my whole life. Grew up on the mean streets of Beverly. I’m a fighter. Bruins are fighters. These guys are not fighters. They mine as well call this the stella podcast because it’s dead.
  • Thabodysnatcher
    Negative 1 Billion
    It’s a crying shame that this podcast is the polar opposite of the Kirk minihane show in terms of entertainment. I wish I was able to review as -100000000000000000000000 stars.
  • minifan69
    GARBAGE
    WEEI should never release a podcast again.
  • Bolognasammitch
    Just bad
    Awful podcast. Would rather listen to two overweight sea lions get it on.
  • Rivers.mi
    Horrible
    Just plain bad and ken is a snake
  • -Matt from Revere
    This show stinks
    Garbagggggggeeeeeeeee
  • Boblod
    Sad
    Not a very good podcast. One host is a corporate sporto puppet and the other host is a whiny thin skinned baby. If thats your style then this podcast is for you!!!
  • durdy b
    Cut ur ears off
    Jam as many cue tips in your ear as you possibly can before you even think about listening to this hot garbage. It is truly awful
  • Click Click 2
    Boring
    Terrible podcast from a terrible organization
  • Kataran3
    Avoid This One
    The host and producer are total life losers. Obviously they’re not trying very hard to be the cream of the crop. B-, boring minus.
  • @babbs2121
    Hah
    You think Minihane sent me but youre just awful. Terrible show.
  • prayforsurf06
    Boring
    Doesn’t get much worse than this
  • Mastersdk!
    Even Dale Arnold wouldn’t listen to this podcast
    Probably the worst podcast I have ever listened to. Not only uninformative but also extremely boring. You get more hockey nuggets from the local Madawaska station than you do this show.
  • Cris Huerta
    Real Estate
    Is Kirk Minihane required to pay you rent for all the real estate he owns in your head? VMS KMS
  • Dave in NN
    If you like Boston hockey
    Ken is a great broadcaster. Ignore Kirks drones reviews.
  • PStockclub
    🤦🏻‍♂️
    🤮
  • HG7572
    Sinking Ship WEEI
    WEEI is an abomination that shoots its heroes to save face for its overlord John Henry and his lackey-boy Sam Kennedy. Don’t support them. Ken Laird is a talentless guy who hasn’t had an original thought since 1994. A terrible podcast, terrible guy, terrible network.
  • Imigorski
    Classic EEI GARBAGE
    Not talent on air, let’s put ‘em on a podcast! Millennials will love it! Go away already.
  • bengarth
    B-
    Boring minus
  • Tim TFC to most!
    If suicidal give a listen.
    I was checking commenter train schedules during a low point in my life but couldn’t pull the trigger. Tuned in one day and decided squashed at wedgemere is a better option than this garbage.
  • mcisaacm11
    Ken Laird is a drip
    I wish I could go back in time and knock over the casket at the funeral.
  • Minifan Nick
    Nonononono
    Seriously this podcast is not good. Kalman is a drip and has nothing interesting to say ever. I want to like Ken, but not sure he’s ever had an interesting thought in his head. The fact that it was better with Dale should tell you how horrible it is now. It’s a shame because a good Bruins podcast would be welcome.
  • another jon
    Bad Day
    Ken Laird, bad day
  • Stevezie89
    No loyalty
    Rather listen to Jim Florentine

    A real snoozer
  • Cullen Fan 420
    Great Hockey Talk
    I could listen to them talk about the Bruins’ 4th line all day!
  • Peteycrackcorn
    Hi
    Hey Ken
  • NRJ13
    Who is Matt Kalman
    Laird is a drip, I just found out who Kalman is today after 30 years in the city but I’d imagine this podcast is great and not boring whatsoever with these two immense talents. Ignore the fact that they get 1-2 likes and retweets per post and give it a shot.
