You're all invited to a sleepover
You know the golden hour at about 2 a.m. when you and your pals have been laughing and shrieking at each other all night, after a day spent being rowdy while window shopping and ordering every appetizer on the menu, and your voice is hoarse and your stomach hurts from how hard you've been laughing (and also possibly how many mozzarella sticks you've eaten), and you are all draped around each other in a blanket pile and you know you should go to sleep but you're filled with a warm glow of love and fellowship and the knowledge that you can Get Weird about the things you love in front of these people and they will still think you're wonderful? That's the vibe of this, the ONLY sports podcast I will probably ever follow. Prior to You Can't Do That, the only things about hockey that spoke to me were the punching and Soviet defection stories, and I felt guilty about liking the first part. Getting to follow along in real time as the hockey coven lives through a historic playoffs season for their family, the Washington Capitals, is an incredible treat. I love that in addition to experiencing the camaraderie, I'm actually learning about sports psychology and sociology and cultural differences within hockey-playing nations and key historical figures in hockey.

Do you want to join a community of gently desperate sports fans who both love the game and recognize its inherent ridiculousness? Have you ever wondered whether your favourite hockey player is a regal...Read full review »
