For the first time ever, the two greatest minds in the SHL sit down for a podcast.
@
Rich and I recorded this on Saturday and after some audio troubles (and four hours of editing later), the final product is ready to go. Inside, we talk about a variety of topics. Including, but not limited to: The Challenge Cup, Free agency, S42 Fantasy, the future of Team Sweden, and the ever-lasting question of whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich.
Big thanks to @

Solid listen guys
Nice insight in Fantasy, as somebody who has spent a lot of time looking at the index to predict the future, I appreciate the common takes we have on certain players.
As for the dig on Buffalo over performing, none of us are going to argue with that lol , thats why last season was so fun for the buffalobros because there was no reason we were supposed to do so well but we never stopped finding the win. Until game 7.
Great Pod guys! intelligent and enjoyable discussions ... you guys fit together like bread and butter! (or margerine)
Rich.. i hear ya about the PF build..it was a decision i didnt take lightly or was happy about... ill just say that the way i built Izzy never changed after the move.. the player build is of a true power forward... but without the obstacles at the end of the build that power forwards deal with.
Looking forward to the next pod fellas!
