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! Your hosts bonded over their favorite sport at Tampa Bay Lightning games, and after the highs of winning back-to-back Stanley Cups and the lows of the third being ripped out of our hands, they wanted to help more people understand why hockey is the greatest sport of all time. Twice a month, they'll chat about some of the 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 and round things out with some fun and very important hockey related and adjacent 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.
