Shut Your Five Hole and Listen!

Shut Your Five Hole and Listen!

Welcome to Shut Your Five Hole and Listen, a not-so-average hockey podcast brought to you by Muffy, a die-hard Red Wings fan who has faith in the Yzerplan, and Stephanie, a Devils fan who just wants a decent goaltender! Twice a month, they'll chat top hockey news, break down the basic rules so you too can throw shade at "that dude" (you know which dude we're talking about) sitting behind you at a game & round things out with some fun topics such as which team has the cutest dog, who currently has the best 70's style mustache and what cocktails to turn to when your team crushes your dreams.
