Write up on Podcast

The podcast Duffy and I decided we would focus on Olympic hockey. We chose to focus on who we think will win the gold medal, and who will win the quarterfinals. We did this with no script and just based off of our knowledge of hockey. We did this after watching the USA game.

After watching that, it gave us a better view on Team USA and how they played. I personally have watched all of the other countries play and recognize what their styles of hockey are used in the game. I personally chose different teams than Duffy because it is who will win, in our opinion and why in each of the remaining three games.

We both came to the agreement that Team USA and Team Sweden would make it to the finals, but from there our views differed as Duffy said Team USA would win and I said Team Sweden would win.

We stated facts about why a certain team would win gold as a back-up for evidence to our theory of who will win.

Doing this podcast was really fun, I would not mind doing this again because it is really nice to give my views on hockey and what I am seeing and the difference in views from Duffy and myself.

We both came into the idea of this while watching Olympic hockey.

We also noted that we have to be speaking with unbiased opinions in this, as any sportscaster has to do. If there is some biases in an argument then it is easily noticed. This is why we tried to avoid clichés such as this player is not that good because they are not good. Our main goal was to use facts we knew from


Instead we backed it up with facts such as Sidney Crosby has not been producing the numbers Team Canada would like as their top line has only produced two points in the past games. Most top lines produce at least three to four, or even more, well depending on the team.
