Re: 30-in-30: Toronto Maple Leafs - Steve Dangle
From: (Anonymous)On the topic of other hockey podcasts:
I just recently discovered Two Bearded Ladies which is a Stars and general hockey podcast, which I've enjoyed so far. One of the women who does it is @classlicity on Twitter, who does some stats stuff that I've started following (haven't been following her long enough to know if I agree with her analytics approach and conclusions, but it seems promising so far).

From: (Anonymous)I don't know if they are, but they do have a bit of the same conversational vibe from the couple of podcasts I listened to. Sometimes it works for me and sometimes it doesn't, but I wasn't really a fan.
Re: 30-in-30: Toronto Maple Leafs - Steve Dangle
From: (Anonymous)one of them definitely is. I used to follow her on tumblr (and had to unfollow, but that's a different story entirely). I can't say for sure if the other one is, though.

From: (Anonymous)Re: 30-in-30: Toronto Maple Leafs - Steve Dangle
From: (Anonymous)just a general "a bit much"-ness, imo. she (at least on her tumblr when I followed her) is obsessed with Jamie Benn and expressed it in a fashion that was just too over the top for me.
Re: 30-in-30: Toronto Maple Leafs - Steve Dangle
From: (Anonymous)what the other anon said. just a bit overzealous for my tastes. and she holds weird grudges for players i really like, like gabe landeskog, which can be off-putting.
Re: 30-in-30: Toronto Maple Leafs - Steve Dangle
From: (Anonymous)I imagine they probably are, but, tbh, most of the women I know in hockey sports fandom--almost all of whom I met not through fannish venues--are fannish in some respect. Many of them absolutely refuse to be fannish about hockey--or keep their fannish lives and their sports fan lives so totally separate that I don't know if they're into Hockey RPF, so I don't know if such a unicorn exists?
From the few eps of the podcast I've listened to, they sound like your basic millennial chicks who like hockey: very internet savvy, so subject to mentioning memes and tropes the online world is rife with; feminist, so they spent a good bit of time on the Kane thing and how he sucks (with ample trigger warnings--which are no longer just a fannish thing--before they discussed it so it could be skipped); sports fans who know a lot about hockey and their team but also other teams; ladies who crush on boys, so they mention the attractiveness of various players and their crushes.
You may not enjoy it, but I have so far. I don't know either of the ladies who do the show, so I have no idea of their fannish involvement. It doesn't come up on the podcast, nor is the podcast redolent of fannishness the way Wait, Wait, What's Icing? is.
