Puck Soup

Puck Soup

We’re Sean "Down Goes Brown" McIndoe of The Athletic, Greg Wyshynski of ESPN, 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. That’s the “puck.” This is also a podcast about movies, TV, fast food, life lessons and general idiocy. That’s the “soup.” Unless you ordered the minestrone.
