Jay is great and I’ve listened to him through multiple pod changes. Mario does a good job. Greg really hurts the pod. He loves to be negative and tries so hard to be witty or crack jokes. Doesn’t bring any hockey insight just mostly canned phrases he’s heard along the way. I really wish they would replace him because it’s getting harder and harder to listen to this. Also think it could be 30 mins. Usually a lot of filler.

As a life long hawks fan, moving from Chicago to Michigan, these guys are my main source of Blackhawks news to keep me “in the know”. Real life guys, who love hockey and care about real life too. Keep up the good work guys. Love it!! JB

Love the effort they give, in particular Jay and Mario. Needs some structural changes, more analytics and someone who is willing to disagree. Also they seem afraid of really critiquing because it could hurt their access. But otherwise a solid show. Jay is a gem.

I hope Tony fixes this show

Probably one of if not the best Blackhawks hockey pod around. Great job boys keep it going.

Thanks for doing the show (podcast) and I always look forward to it especially on my way into the city to play morning hockey at Johnny’s! BUT, Connor Bedard has a long way to go! Thank you Jay, Greg and Mario! Honest SG

Sometimes these guys have good insight but usually they are really repetitive and the takes are lukewarm/incorrect. Seems like what they suffer from most is that they put out 5 shows a week so in the off season or when game weeks are light the material is a little boring or repetitive. Leaving a 5 star review in hopes that they take some feedback to make improvements instead of bashing with a 1 star and offering nothing constructive. They do bring is great guests on topics that otherwise get swept under the rug by other outlets (NHL24 review show was great!). The game recap shows are solid too. That being said, I find they constantly contradict themselves between shows (Greg saying Reichel will lead the team in points even if they get Bedard, then walking it back when Reichel was playing badly) and always complain when outsiders/national writers don’t pick the hawks as the best in something. Gatekeeper Greg also says he wants more fans but then criticizes people who don’t share his opinions or who don’t chant the way he wants them to. Mario frustrates me when he gets going. He starts talking and never puts together a concise thought. He just rambles and pauses to say “…look…” or “far be it from me” to make it seem like his thought is unique or insightful and usually it’s something everyone already knows. I enjoy their fresh takes on hockey culture and how they seem to be pushing the sport in the right direction.

Jay is a normie and needs more air time

This crew is phenomenal. They know what they are talking about, break it down for anyone to understand, and keep me laughing!

Great show, keep up the good work.

Cheers to the CHGO crew for an awesome Blackhawks podcast.

Would be a 4-5 star show if Jay could just stick to hockey

Best Hawks podcast for in season, post game, off-season, draft and the dog days of August.

This is by far the best podcast to get your Blackhawk information. They do a great job including history and current and with plenty of laughs.

Best Blackhawks podcast out there.

I’ve been listening since the Big Nevawski days, and it’s always been great. Jay, Greg, and Mario are super knowledgeable and some of the leading voices of Blackhawks hockey.

I’ve been listening/watching since the show began and this is by far the best podcast devoted to the Blackhawks.

CHGO is probably the best local Blackhawks podcast.

Cmon boys. Your better than that.

This is by far my favorite podcast as an avid hockey fan, and more importantly, a Chicago Blackhawks fan. Greg, Jay, and Mario offer some of the best insight in the business!

Even though Jay says in his show that he chooses to ignore anything below a 5 star review, I can’t follow this show or recommend it any more. Besides attacking anyone who has a different opinion in the chat (which wasn’t that bad to begin with), the final straw was Jay and Greg making fun of a Leafs fan. I’m not ok with picking on people and it’s wild I have to say that. As for the show, they provide ok and at times decent discussion on hockey. The daily format can be a bit much. Often times this show is an echo chamber of the three hosts takes, fun arguments would make the show better. Originally I had this as a 4 star podcast. Dropped to 1 because of the bullying that was allowed to be aired.

I’m a new hockey fan and this show has been perfect for me. New or old fan will love this show. My only suggestion would be a “Pudwack database” featuring who and why they’re pudwacks.

I’ve been a new listener all season as I picked up season tickets this year to watch Conor Bedard bring this team back to credibility and I have really loved my morning podcasts with these guys. Whether it’s a win by the Blackhawks or a tough loss or a terrible game, they are always entertaining and very informative. I love the interviews. They do with some of the players and the coach and I love how they break down the game and some of the play at the individual player level. I am already looking forward to next season and I will be come a CHGO DIE HARD!

Started as a Madhouse Podcast fan. Wasn’t too sure on CHGO at first but it quickly became my favorite podcast. Never miss an episode.

Best inside info on the Blackhawks

With so many sports shows to choose from, finding a gem that balances insightful analysis with engaging entertainment can be a challenge. But, the CHGO Blackhawks show, hosted by the dynamic Jay, Greg, and Mario, does just that and much more. They’ve crafted a platform that hits the sweet spot between deep dives into game and player analysis, a rich exploration of Blackhawks team history, insightful prospect evaluation, and the latest in hockey news. What sets this show apart is its seamless blend of professionalism with just the right amount of silly shenanigans, making each episode a fresh and engaging experience, even with the demanding schedule of almost daily shows. For the casual fan looking to deepen their understanding of hockey’s nuances or the diehard enthusiast eager for discussions on complex issues, this podcast is a treasure trove of information. The CHGO team offers honest, rational takes on the sport. Their commitment to fairness and unbiased reporting is evident in every episode, providing listeners with well-rounded perspectives that are hard to come by in the sports podcasting realm. The production quality of both their YouTube show and the podcast is top-notch, making my nearly daily engagement with their content not just a habit but a highlight of my day. This is not just another sports podcast; it’s my go-to source for all things Blackhawks. The CHGO Chicago Blackhawks show is a blend of fun, facts, and fantastic hockey insight. I look forward to every episode, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Keep up the phenomenal work, Jay, Greg, and Mario! Your dedication to delivering quality content consistently makes this show a standout.

By far the best Blackhawks podcast to be found. Always feels like I’m in on the conversation even though I’m just listening.

Jay, Greg, and Mario really create a great show with awesome analysis while being incredibly objective. Refreshing listen. Def recommend to all hockey fans, not just Hawk fans.

CHGO Hawks is an amazing crew who provide a lot of different insight on the team while keeping the show fun. The entire team shares a ton of knowledge and certainly the best podcast around!

Love the podcast. Was specially impressed with the handling of the Corey Perry release, and the jagassery around the ill informed rumors. It’s easy for jerks to hide in their mommy's basement and run their mouths about other peoples troubles. The guys on the cast handled it with decorum and class.Well done, boys. The dork from ESPN who made the comment needs to be fired, publicly.

Love getting to listen to these guys several times a week. Definitely makes my day go by faster! I enjoy listening to all of their takes even if I may disagree with some of them. My only complaint is how long the ad reads are. I totally get doing an ad read for sponsorship and all, but I don’t like that the ad reads per “break” take 3+ minutes. Overall though, great podcast! Highly recommended!

This is my favorite Blackhawks podcast/show. Good content - keep it up guys!

Awesome show and makes being a Blackhawks even better.

Your constant defense of Seth Jones shows your lack of knowledge of the sport and inability to watch the sport. Start a new hobby, the Blackhawks would be better off without your opinion

CHGO has the best and most enjoyable podcast for your Chicago Blackhawks. Great time to be a Hawks fan during the Bedard version of the rebuild!

Great content, just like hanging out with your buddies talking Blackhawk hockey. It’s a can’t miss for Blackhawk fans.

The hosts’ knowledge and insight make this hands down THE best Blackhawks podcast PERIOD

It feels like a conversation with friends who are Hawks fanatics. Friends I don’t have. My favorite listen. I listen to the Score a whole bunch. I listen to CHGO Sox. I listen to Smartless and Conan. I look forward to this podcast more than any other. I’ve been listening to Jay forever. Love Greg’s sense of humor and Mario’s takes. Was heartbroken when Jay and James Neveau broke up. But, my god, you’ve won me over. Neveau is still missed but you guys are crushin’ it.

I listen to you on all my walks and really enjoy your knowledge,material and banter . I have been a die hard fan since my dad took me as a little girl to the Old Barn. I love when you say, stop the negativity be positive. I am the face of that. Keep up the good work. GO HAWKS‼️🚨

Overall some of the best Hawks coverage around. Always fair and level headed, but they are fans also and feel the same emotions us as fans do. Information, humor, opinions. 10/10

EDIT: Changed from a 3 star to a 1 star and unfollowed the show and all the hosts on Twitter. They start off the show and call me a pudwhack for giving actual constructive criticism. Stop begging for 5 star reviews. If you actually had a good show and people like you, they’ll give you 5 star reviews on their own. The show is great as far as getting information and staying up to date on Blackhawks news. It seems like there is a new episode every other day which is cool. One of the only downsides is that all 3 hosts have the same opinions on everything. There is no dissension between any of them. The sports shows that are the best are the ones that have great debates on hot topics.

As a die hard Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks fan, this show is the best in the business. You guys work very hard to bring us content, thank you.

The guys on this podcast like to think they are smarter than they are.

Easily the best Hawks podcast there is. Great insight about the team, and not afraid to tackle the hard stuff. Have listened since the Madhouse days, and has continued to be my go to show for Hawks news. You guys keep it real and make it as fun as you can, even through the down times. Keep up the great work!

These guys would drink Connor bedard’s sweat if it was dripping from his jock strap.

I can’t often watch but I listen every. The only place to get real hawks coverage.

I stopped watching them but I still want to keep up on them

TALK MORE HOCKEY! With other sports outlets not able to narrowcast hockey, this podcast is informative and necessary. Not shy about approaching issues surrounding Bobby Hull to Kyle Beach, clear headed, smart and metrics informed hockey talk. But still fun and with a few meatball fan moments. Any chance the team will re-sign Roenick to pair with Bedard?

First sports cast I subscribed too from beginning :reminds me of veteran columnists from era long ago . You won't get the depth of experience each has Greg(AHL), Mario( college ) and Jay ( hawks ) from only one show . Not " homers ", don't jump on players bandwagon ( much) , they engage with viewers . They call it as they see it -- no topic off limits . MGMT decisions affect fan base , accountability , respect. Interviews bring inside look if you disagree on occasion ( like me ) you won't get flamed . If you wrote then off after one show try again .

Need to work on the sound mix and balance between speakers. Some are too quiet. Overall mix is not as loud as other podcasts. Work on the EQ to remove the muddy sound.
