The Hockey PDOcast, Episode 419: 2021-22 Watchability Rankings

Pete Blackburn joins the show to help construct this year’s version of the annual Watchability Rankings. We discuss what makes a team watchable and what we prioritize when tuning in to a game, before ranking all 32 teams in the league from top to bottom based on that criteria. Topics include:

• Whether the Arizona Coyotes are so bad that they’re good
• Why you need to give the St. Louis Blues a second chance
• What makes the Anaheim Ducks this year’s ‘Midnight Rider’
• Fear of missing out on Connor McDavid’s latest highlight
• Enjoying Alexander Ovechkin chasing history
• Teams we struggled to rank because of injuries
• The novelty of the Seattle Kraken vs. their actual performance
• Young teams we want to get in on early
• Established teams we know what we’re getting from
