Hello everyone! After debating meticulously over whether or not we get our own domain for This Hockey Pod, we decided that we would use Molly’s platform first to see how interested everyone is before launching a dedicated site!

Not going to lie here, our predictions can be seen as controversial, but remember we are a mix of Leafs and Avs fans so of course, our optimism for our teams differs greatly. In an ideal world, the final would be an Avalanche Leaf’s showdown, our two teams battling for Lord Stanley’s most versatile cup. This may happen, this may not the playoffs always seem to be packed full of surprises and fast hockey. Remember to enjoy, have fun and winning isn’t everything…..
There we have it, our predictions! Do you agree with us? Let us know, we would love to hear from you!
