About this episode
Craig Custance joins the show to help put together the annual Watchability Rankings, where we stack every team in the NHL from 31 all the way down to 1 based on the entertainment value they figure to provide viewers with this season. As has been the case in years past, the following is a good synopsis of how we approached the task, and what it's ultimately trying to capture: “If you’re sitting down on a random Thursday night and there’s a plethora of games to choose from, which teams are you prioritizing seeing (all other things being equal, putting rooting allegiances aside)? Talent is obviously king, but style and likelihood of engaging in a back-and-forth, fast-paced affair are just as important. It's important to remember that sometimes being a very successful hockey team in terms of wins and losses and your place in these rankings can be inversely related.” Sponsoring today’s show is SeatGeek, which is making it easier than ever before to buy and sell sports and concert tickets.
